Abstract
New neurons are generated throughout life in distinct regions of the mammalian brain due to the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs). Ubiquitin, a post-translational modification of cellular proteins, is an important factor in regulating neurogenesis. Deubiquitination is a biochemical process that mediates the removal of ubiquitin moieties from ubiquitin-conjugated substrates. Recent studies have provided growing evidence that deubiquitylases (DUBs) which reverse ubiquitylation process play critical roles in NSCs maintenance, differentiation and maturation. This review mainly focused on the relationship of DUBs and NSCs, and further summarized recent advances in our understanding of DUBs on regulating NSCs biological behaviors.
