Ubiquitin thioesterase OTU1 (YOD1)

The protein contains 348 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 38322 Da.

 

Hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins and participates in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) for misfolded lumenal proteins. May act by triming the ubiquitin chain on the associated substrate to facilitate their threading through the VCP/p97 pore. Ubiquitin moieties on substrates may present a steric impediment to the threading process when the substrate is transferred to the VCP pore and threaded through VCP's axial channel. Mediates deubiquitination of 'Lys-27'-, 'Lys-29'- and 'Lys-33'-linked polyubiquitin chains. Also able to hydrolyze 'Lys-11'-linked ubiquitin chains. Cleaves both polyubiquitin and di-ubiquitin. May play a role in macroautophagy, regulating for instance the clearance of damaged lysosomes. May recruit PLAA, UBXN6 and VCP to damaged lysosome membranes decorated with K48-linked ubiquitin chains and remove these chains allowing autophagosome formation (PubMed:27753622).

Yod1 otu deubiquitinating enzyme 1, s. cerevisiae, homolog of; yod1
Otu domain-containing protein 2; otud2
Duba8

DESCRIPTION

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs; see 603478) are proteases that specifically cleave ubiquitin (191339) linkages, negating the action of ubiquitin ligases. DUBA8 belongs to a DUB subfamily characterized by an ovarian tumor (OTU) domain.

CLONING

Kayagaki et al. (2007) identified ovarian tumor domain (OTU)-containing protein 2 (OTUD2) in a small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based screen for OTU deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) family members. The 6,265-basepair mRNA contains an open reading frame (ORF) predicting a 348-amino acid protein. In addition to an OTU domain, the protein includes a zinc finger (ZNF) C2H2 domain.

MAPPING

The YOD1 gene maps to chromosome 1q32.1 (Kayagaki et al., 2007). ... More on the omim web site
