Abstract

Cancer cells need to reprogramme their metabolism to allow rapid cell proliferation. Here, the authors show that USP13is amplified in ovarian cancer and its protein product, a deubiquitinase, drives tumour progression by rewiring the metabolism of cancer cells by stabilising two critical metabolic enzymes.
