    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolism
  • regulating SIAH2 ligase stability and activity via noncatalytic ubiquitin-binding domains
  • responsible for MITF deubiquitination, utilizing a short hairpin RNA library against known deubiquitinating enzymes
  • may function differently from USP5 in cellular deubiquitination processes
  • USP13 is a AMFR-associated DUB that eliminates ubiquitin conjugates from UBL4A to maintain the functionality of BAG6
  • USP5 regulates the assembly and disassembly of heat-induced stress granules by mediating the hydrolysis of unanchored ubiquitin chains while USP13 regulates stress granules through deubiquitylating protein-conjugated ubiquitin chains

  • interacting with SIAH2
  • through deubiquitination, USP13 stabilizes and upregulates MITF protein levels)
  • interacting with BECN1 (Beclin1 controls the protein stabilities of USP10 and USP13 by regulating their deubiquitinating activities)
