Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase acts on ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal amides.
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (formerly known as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase), from rabbit reticulocytes, has been shown to hydrolyze thiol esters formed between the ubiquitin carboxyl terminus and small thiols (e.g. glutathione), as well as free ubiquitin adenylate (Rose, I. A., and Warms, J. V. B. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4234-4237). We now show that this enzyme hydrolyzes ami...

Chaney, Joseph Rashon. Ph.D., Purdue University, May 2015. Biochemical Investigation of the Ubiquitin Carboxyl-Terminal Hydrolase Family Major Professor: Chittaranjan Das. The proteasome is the machinery in eukaryotic cells that degrades protein and recycles the amino acids. Protein degradation is a highly regulated process which starts by the attachment of chains of ubiquitin, which serves as ...
متن کاملPower and promise of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 37 as a target of cancer therapy.
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 37 (UCH37, also called UCHL5), a member of the deubiquitinating enzymes, can suppress protein degradation through disassembling polyubiquitin from the distal subunit of the chain. It has been proved that UCH37 can be activated by proteasome ubiqutin chain receptor Rpn13 and incorporation into the 19S complex. UCH37, which has been reported to assist in the ...
متن کاملOverexpression of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) delays Alzheimer's progression in vivo
Deposition of amyloid β protein (Aβ) to form neuritic plaques in the brain is the pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ is produced by β- and γ-cleavages of amyloid β precursor protein (APP). Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) is a de-ubiquitinating enzyme that cleaves ubiquitin at its carboxyl terminal. Dysfunction of UCHL1 has been reported in neurodegenerative d...
متن کاملUbiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1, a novel deubiquitinating enzyme in the vasculature, attenuates NF-kappaB activation.
OBJECTIVE We identified a ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) gene, which encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme and is expressed in the vasculature, by functional screening of a human endothelial cell (EC) cDNA library. UCHL1 is expressed in neurons, and abnormalities in UCHL1 are responsible for inherited Parkinson's disease via its effects on the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Therefor...
