Overlay histogram showing SH-SY5Y cells stained with ab72911 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab72911, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in SH-SY5Y cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Protein Gene Product 9.5 (PGP9.5) also known as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) is an enzyme of approximately 27 kDa mass. PGP9.5 is highly expressed in neurons and neuroendocrine cells and is involved in the processing of ubiquitinated proteins. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are critical for maintaining cellular protein homeostasis. PGP9.5 is present in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Researchers often utilize PGP9.5 as a neuronal marker due to its strong expression in nerve tissues. Antibody clone 13C4 is commonly used in PGP9.5 immunohistochemistry to visualize this protein in histopathology sections.
Biological function summary

PGP9.5 plays a significant role in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway where it regulates protein degradation. It functions by cleaving ubiquitin from ubiquitin-protein conjugates which can recycle ubiquitin for reuse impacting protein turnover. This process is important for removing misfolded or damaged proteins maintaining cellular integrity. PGP9.5 has not been documented as a part of any large multimeric complex; its action is rather individual yet vital in cellular processes.

Pathways

PGP9.5 is an important participant in the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis pathway. This pathway controls the degradation of proteins that regulate cell cycle differentiation and neuromodulation. PGP9.5 works in tandem with other proteins such as the proteasome complex to remove proteins tagged for destruction. Another important pathway linked with PGP9.5 is the neuronal development pathway in which its activity supports neuron growth and repair.

Defective PGP9.5 function associates mainly with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Mutations or dysregulation in PGP9.5 expression are implicated in the pathogenesis of these conditions affecting protein degradation and neuronal health. Other proteins like α-synuclein in Parkinson's disease interact with PGP9.5 pathways indicating their involvement in disease mechanisms. Researchers consider PGP9.5 a potential biomarker for neuronal pathology through methods like PGP9.5 IHC allowing for evaluation of nerve damage and neuroendocrine tumor diagnosis.

Target data

Deubiquitinase that plays a role in the regulation of several processes such as maintenance of synaptic function, cardiac function, inflammatory response or osteoclastogenesis (PubMed : 22212137, PubMed : 23359680). Abrogates the ubiquitination of multiple proteins including WWTR1/TAZ, EGFR, HIF1A and beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1/BACE1 (PubMed : 22212137, PubMed : 25615526). In addition, recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin to maintain a stable pool of monoubiquitin that is a key requirement for the ubiquitin-proteasome and the autophagy-lysosome pathways (PubMed : 12408865, PubMed : 8639624, PubMed : 9774100). Regulates amyloid precursor protein/APP processing by promoting BACE1 degradation resulting in decreased amyloid beta production (PubMed : 22212137). Plays a role in the immune response by regulating the ability of MHC I molecules to reach cross-presentation compartments competent for generating Ag-MHC I complexes (By similarity). Mediates the 'Lys-48'-linked deubiquitination of the transcriptional coactivator WWTR1/TAZ leading to its stabilization and inhibition of osteoclastogenesis (By similarity). Deubiquitinates and stabilizes epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR to prevent its degradation and to activate its downstream mediators (By similarity). Modulates oxidative activity in skeletal muscle by regulating key mitochondrial oxidative proteins (By similarity). Enhances the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha/HIF1A by abrogateing its VHL E3 ligase-mediated ubiquitination and consequently inhibiting its degradation (PubMed : 25615526).
