Discovery and Characterization of Inhibitors of Ubiquitin-Like Modifier Activating Enzyme 5 (UBA5): Targeting the UFMylation Pathway in Cancer and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Abstract UBA5 is the E1 enzyme that initiates UFMylation, a ubiquitin-like modification implicated in proteostasis, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Here, we report a chemical biology approach to interrogate UBA5 function through small-molecule inhibition. We developed a robust hig...
