| UniProt functional annotation for Q96G74 | |||
| UniProt code: Q96G74. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Deubiquitinating enzyme that functions as negative regulator of the innate immune system. Acts via TRAF3 deubiquitination and subsequent suppression of type I interferon (IFN) production. Has peptidase activity towards 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. Can also cleave 'Lys-11'-linked ubiquitin chains (in vitro). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17991829, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22245969, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23827681}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Thiol-dependent hydrolysis of ester, thioester, amide, peptide and isopeptide bonds formed by the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin (a 76- residue protein attached to proteins as an intracellular targeting signal).; EC=3.4.19.12; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:22245969}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by N-ethyl-maleimide (NEM). | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with TRAF3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17991829, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22245969}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in various tissues, including the liver and placenta, as well as in peripheral blood leukocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17991829}. | |
| Induction: | Up-regulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in bone marrow-derived macrophages. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22245969}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylation at Ser-177 is required for deubiquitinating activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22245969}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform 2]: Dubious isoform produced through aberrant splice sites. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform 3]: Dubious isoform produced through aberrant splice sites. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase C85 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAB14131.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=BAB15416.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
