    Abstract: This document relates to methods and materials involved in modulating deubiquitinases (e.g., USP10 polypeptides) and/or ubiquitinated polypeptides (e.g., tumor suppressor polypeptides or mutant versions of tumor suppressor polypeptides). For example, methods and materials for increasing deubiquitinase (e.g., a USP10 polypeptide) expression or activity, methods and materials for decreasing deubiquitinase (e.g., a USP10 polypeptide) expression or activity, methods and materials for stabilizing tumor suppressor polypeptides (e.g., wild-type p53 polypeptides), methods and materials for de-stabilizing mutant versions of tumor suppressor polypeptides (e.g., mutant p53 polypeptides), and methods and materials for reducing cancer cell proliferation, increasing cancer cell apoptosis, and/or treating cancer (e.g., cancers having reduced levels of wild-type p53 polypeptides or cancers having increased levels of mutant p53 polypeptides) are provided. This document also provides methods and materials for identifying agonists or antagonists of USP10 polypeptide mediated stabilization of p53 polypeptides.

    Abstract: Conformationally-constrained helicases having improved activity and strength are provided. Methods of making conformationally-constrained helicases having improved activity and strength are provided. Methods of using conformationally-constrained helicases having improved activity and strength are provided. The present invention is based on the discovery of novel modified helicases that show dramatically enhanced helicase activity and increased strength as compared to unmodified helicases. As described further herein, it has been surprisingly discovered that, by controlling the conformation of certain subdomains such that the helicase remains in a closed form (e.g., by covalently crosslinking the 2B domain to the 1A domain or the 1B domain in a Rep helicase), a highly active and strong form of the helicase is achieved

    Abstract: Inhibition of DNA2 in Fanconi anemia (FA) cells remedies the over-resection of DNA, thereby stabilizing the FA cells. Inhibition of DNA2 in FA cells allows for safe treatment of cancers in FA patients, a decrease in the lethality of FA cells, a decrease in bone marrow failure of FA patients, and a means for decreasing the incidence of cancer for FA patients.
