    motifs/domains
  • one zinc biding site
  • a catalytic site resembling that of other cysteine proteases, containing one Cys, one Asp and one His
  • a cryptic ZnF-UBP domain (residues 1-156), which was tightly bound to the catalytic core and was indispensable for catalytic activity

    basic FUNCTION
  • zinc-binding deubiquitinating enzyme, clearing bonds between UB and unfolded polypeptide or UB and small substituents, also disassembling branched polyubiquitin chains
  • recycles ubiquitin by hydrolyzing isopeptide bonds in a variety of unanchored polyubiquitin substrates
  • deubiquitinating enzyme, involved in the elimination of the ubiquitin signal from damaged sites and required for efficient DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair
  • disassembly of polyubiquitin chains by USP5 at sites of damage is important for efficient DSB repair
  • USP5 contributed to hepatocarcinogenesis by acting as an oncogene
  • 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
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, ubiquitin dependent proteolysis

    protein
  • USP5 uses multiple ZnF-UBP domains for substrate targeting and core catalytic function
  • USP5 and UBE1, are interacting partners of UBTD2
  • critical for the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF), a pivotal mediator for inflammatory responses
  • E3 ligase SMURF1 regulates USP5 protein stability and USP5-mediated TNF production through the ubiquitin proteasome pathway
  • expression of USP5 and OTUD6A may be affected by TP53
