UniProt functional annotation for A6QP16

UniProt code: A6QP16.

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.
 
Function: Specifically hydrolyzes 'Lys-29'-linked and 'Lys-33'-linked diubiquitin. Also cleaves 'Lys-63'-linked chains, but with 40-fold less efficiency compared to 'Lys-29'-linked ones. Positive regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway that deubiquitinates APC protein, a negative regulator of Wnt-mediated transcription. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the stress fiber dynamics and cell migration. May also modulate TNF-alpha signaling (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
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;
Subunit: Interacts with APC and TRAF6. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Enriched in punctate localization in the cytoplasm. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The OTU domain mediates the deubiquitinating activity. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The RanBP2-type zinc fingers mediate the specific interaction with 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The second ankyrin repeat ANK 2 is termed AnkUBD, it interacts with ubiquitin hydrophobic patch and contributes to linkage specificity. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The RanBP2-type zinc fingers, also called NZFs, may provide additional ubiquitin-binding sites when hydrolyzing long 'Lys-63'- linked chains. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase C64 family. {ECO:0000305}.
