    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to yeast ubp6
    homolog to rattus Usp14 (96.8 pc)
    homolog to murine Usp14 (97 pc)
    intraspecies paralog to ubiquitin specific protein proteases ubp

    FAMILY
  • deubiquitin family
  • peptidase C19 family
  • ubiquitin-specific processing (UBP) family of proteases
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as an ubiquitin specific protease, hydrolyzing isopeptide bonds between UB and folded protein domains such as additional UB mioetis or target proteins
  • acting as a tRNA guanine transglycosylase, queunine tRNA ribosyltransferase guanine insertion enzyme
  • player in the UPR by serving as a physiological inhibitor of ERAD under the non-stressed condition (Nagai 2009)
  • might also have catalytic and noncatalytic functions to modulate the degradation of proteins (Nagai 2009)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, ubiquitin dependent proteolysis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism protein
    signaling
  • Ubl conjugation pathway
  • a component associated with proteasme the 26S
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein directly binds to ERN1 and the interaction between ERN1 and USP14 is inhibited by ER stress (Nagai 2009)

    REGULATION
    activated by response to proteasome inhibition
