Scientific Background: | Ubiquitin-specific protease 15 (USP15) contains the highly conserved Cys and His boxes present in all members of the UBP family of deubiquitinating enzymes. USP15 shares 60.5% sequence identity and 76% sequence similarity with the human homolog (UNP/Unph/USP4) of the mouse Unp proto-oncogene. USP15 can be co-purified with the human CSN complex. Detailed analysis reveals a novel Zinc (Zn)-finger in USP15 and related USPs. Mutation of a single conserved cysteine residue in the predicted Zn binding motif results in the loss of USP15 capability to degrade poly-Ub substrates, indicating that the Zn-finger is essential for the cleavage of poly-Ub chains. |
