title: Navigating the deubiquitinating proteome with a CompPASS.
abstract: Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) act on ubiquitinated substrates to regulate their modification and stability. In this issue, Sowa et al. (2009) present a comprehensive proteomic analysis of DUB interacting proteins in humans and a new quantitative scoring system for hits (CompPASS), providing a resource that links DUBs to biological pathways.
