UniProt functional annotation for P43593

UniProt code: P43593.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Predominant proteasome-associated deubiquitinase which releases ubiquitin from the proteasome targeted ubiquitinated proteins. Ensures the regeneration of ubiquitin at the proteasome. Has proteasome-inhibitory activity and delays the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins to provide a time window allowing gradual deubiquitination of the substrate. Stabilizes the association of HUL5 with proteasomes and works in opposition to polyubiquitin elongation activity of HUL5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10527495, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12408819, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14581483, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018280, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17190603, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9344467}.
 
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;
Activity regulation: Activated by it's association with the proteasome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12408819}.
Biophysicochemical properties: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 8.5-9. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9344467};
Subunit: Associates with the regulatory particle (RP) of the proteasome.
Domain: The N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain is required for proteasome association and UBP6 activation at the proteasome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12408819}.
Miscellaneous: Present with 6770 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. USP14/UBP6 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
