    text interacting with MARCH7 in the cytosol
    basic FUNCTION
  • may function as a ubiquitin-protein or polyubiquitin hydrolase involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins
  • may play an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation of proteins through the removal of conjugated ubiquitin
  • can stabilize MARCH7, and deubiquitylate MARCH7 in the cytosol
  • deubiquitinase acting as essential and evolutionarily conserved component in TGFbeta and bone morphogenetic protein signaling, opposing the activity of Ectodermin/Tif1gamma (Ecto, TRIM33)
  • enhances the polarity and self-renewal of embryonic stem cell-derived neural progenitors
  • stabilizes MCL1 and thereby promotes cell survival
  • controlling the level of PSD, mediating its deubuiquitination and protecting from proteasomal degradation, thus regulating de nov tight junction assembly
  • acts as a negative regulator of MTOR activity and muscle differentiation
  • is a major tumour suppressor gene with prognostic and therapeutic relevance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism

    TGFB pathway
    a component
  • component of the TGFB pathway
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with DCX to regulate cell adhesion
  • binding partner of ITCH (transient overexpression of FAM/USP9X resulted in the deubiquitylation of ITCH)
  • interacting with and deubiquitinating monoubiquitinated SMAD4, opposing the activity of Ectodermin/TIF1G (TRIM33), rather than stability
  • with TRIM33 act as antagonistic SMAD4 regulator during embryonic development
  • binding MCL1 and removing the Lys48-linked polyubiquitin chains
  • interacting with MCL1 (stabilizes MCL1 by reversing its polyubiquitination)
  • interacts with and deubiquitinates SNCA
  • involved in MCL1 protein turnover by preventing its degradation through the removal of conjugated ubiquitin
  • PMAIP1 over-expression caused a decrease in the USP9X/MCL1 interaction associated with an increase in the MCL1 polyubiquitinated forms
  • novel MTOR and CRTC2 binding partner that negatively regulates mTOR activity and skeletal muscle differentiation
