The Ubiquitin-specific Protease USP36 Associates with the Microprocessor Complex and Regulates miRNA Biogenesis by SUMOylating DGCR8

This study identifies that USP36 mediates DGCR8 SUMOylation by SUMO2 and is critical for miRNA biogenesis. As USP36 is frequently overexpressed in various human cancers, our study suggests that deregulated USP36-miRNA biogenesis pathway may contribute to tumorigenesis.
