Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 24 (USP24)

The protein contains 2620 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 294365 Da.

 

Ubiquitin-specific protease that regulates cell survival in various contexts through modulating the protein stability of some of its substrates including DDB2, MCL1 or TP53. Plays a positive role on ferritinophagy where ferritin is degraded in lysosomes and releases free iron. (updated: Nov. 7, 2018)

Kiaa1057

DESCRIPTION

Modification of cellular proteins by ubiquitin is an essential regulatory mechanism controlled by the coordinated action of multiple ubiquitin-conjugating and deubiquitinating enzymes. USP24 belongs to a large family of cysteine proteases that function as deubiquitinating enzymes (Quesada et al., 2004).

CLONING

By sequencing clones obtained from a brain cDNA library, Kikuno et al. (1999) cloned USP24, which they designated KIAA1057. The deduced 977-amino acid protein shares significant similarity with USP9X (300072). RT-PCR ELISA detected highest expression in skeletal muscle followed by ovary, with moderate expression in heart, brain, lung, liver, and kidney, and low expression in pancreas, spleen, and testis. Fetal tissues and specific brain regions examined showed either low or moderate expression. Quesada et al. (2004) showed that the catalytic domain of USP24 contains the cys box, QQD box, and his box characteristic of USP enzymes.

MAPPING

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the USP24 gene to chromosome 1 (TMAP SHGC-74876).
