Target Information

Modification of target proteins by ubiquitin participates in a wide array of biological functions. Proteins destined for degradation or processing via the 26S proteasome are coupled to multiple copies of ubiquitin. Attachment of ubiquitin or ubiquitin-related molecules may also result in changes in subcellular distribution or modification of protein activity.
Deubiquitination, catalyzed by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), provides an additional level of regulation. These enzymes fall into four distinct families:

1. Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases
2. Ubiquitin-specific processing proteases (USPs)
3. OTU-domain ubiquitin-aldehyde-binding proteins
4. Jab1/Pad1/MPN-domain-containing metallo-enzymes

Among these, USPs are the most widespread and evolutionarily conserved. They release ubiquitin from conjugated proteins and display conserved catalytic domains containing Cys and His boxes, with variable N- and C-terminal extensions involved in substrate recognition, localization, and protein interactions.
