Histone H2A and H2B ubiquitination represents a widely used mechanism for a variety of regulatory transcriptional programs. In this review, structural and functional studies of histone H2A and histone H2B deubiquitinase (DUB), DUB including 2A-DUB, BRCA1-associated protein-1, USP3, UBP8, and USP16, and their role in developmental disease and carcinogenesis were recapitulated. Also the progress in developing small molecular inhibitors targeting DUBs and their application in colon cancer, B-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma were summarized. Overall, the study seek to strengthen the understanding on how these DUBs contribute to normal and malignant tissue development thus aiding in improving the design of therapeutic strategies used for diagnosis and prognosis of the disease
