Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 47 (USP47)

The protein contains 1375 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 157311 Da.

 

Ubiquitin-specific protease that specifically deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated DNA polymerase beta (POLB), stabilizing POLB thereby playing a role in base-excision repair (BER). Acts as a regulator of cell growth and genome integrity. May also indirectly regulate CDC25A expression at a transcriptional level. (updated: Jan. 31, 2018)

Ubiquitin-specific protease 47; usp47

DESCRIPTION

USP47 belongs to a family of ubiquitin-specific cysteine proteases. These enzymes catalyze the removal of ubiquitin from proteins that are ubiquitinated and thus targeted for degradation via the proteasome (Quesada et al., 2004).

CLONING

By searching databases for sequences similar to USP family members, followed by PCR of human cDNA libraries, Quesada et al. (2004) cloned USP47. The deduced protein has a catalytic domain containing a cys box, a QQD box, and a his box, all of which are characteristic of USP enzymes. Northern blot analysis detected high expression of a 5.5-kb transcript in skeletal muscle, with lower expression in testis and heart, and little to no expression in other tissues examined. SKP1 (601434)/CUL1 (603134)/F-box protein (see 609102) (SCF) complexes function as E3 ubiquitin ligases. By mass spectrometric analysis of peptides that immunoprecipitated with an SCF complex containing beta-TRCP2 (FBXW11; 603482) as its F-box protein subunit, Peschiaroli et al. (2010) identified USP47. The deduced full-length protein contains 1,287 amino acids.

GENE FUNCTION

Peschiaroli et al. (2010) found that the F-box proteins beta-TRCP1 (BTRC; 603482) and beta-TRCP2, but not other F-box proteins, bound USP47. Mutation analysis revealed that an N-terminal domain of USP47 interacted with the WD40 repeat domain of beta-TRCP. Knockdown of either USP47 or beta-TRCP in several human cell lines reduced cell survival and sensitized cells to pharmacologic induction of apoptosis. However, beta-TRCP did not appear to use USP47 as a substrate or induce its degradation. Conversely, knockdown of USP47 had no effect on beta-TRCP activity.

MAPPING

Hartz (2012) mapped the USP47 gene to chromosome 11p15.3 based on an alignment of the USP47 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AK000734) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).

ANIMAL MODEL

Peschiaroli et al. (2010) found that mice homozygous for a hypomorphic Usp47 allele were viable and fertile. However, fibroblasts derived from homozygous mutant embryos were more sensitive than wildtype to ultraviolet radiation-induced apoptosis. ... More on the omim web site
