Cutting to the Core: Mechanistic Dissection of Nuclear Protease Function in Tumour Biology

Queen’s University Belfast

School of Pharmacy

Proteases are classically viewed as degradative enzymes that function in the cytoplasm or extracellular space. Emerging evidence reveals a surprising role for specific proteases within the nucleus, where they influence key processes such as chromatin remodelling, transcriptional control, and DNA repair.
