Function

Deubiquitinase that recognizes and hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin. Involved in the processing of polyubiquitin precursors as well as that of ubiquitinated proteins (PubMed:16214042, PubMed:34059922). Plays a role in the regulation of NF-kappa-B activation by TNF receptor superfamily via its interactions with RELA and TRAF2. May also play a regulatory role at postsynaptic sites. Plays an important role in cell cycle progression by deubiquitinating Aurora B/AURKB and thereby extending its stability (PubMed:34445214). In the context of H. pylori infection, stabilizes nuclear RELA through deubiquitination, thereby promoting the transcriptional activity of RELA to prolong TNFAIP3 de novo synthesis. Consequently, TNFAIP3 suppresses caspase activity and apoptotic cell death (PubMed:35913642). Functions also in the modulation of the ciliary and synaptic transport as well as cytoskeleton organization, which are key for photoreceptor function and homeostasis. To achieve this, stabilizes the levels of the retinal degeneration-associated proteins ARL3 and UNC119 using distinct mechanisms (PubMed:36293380). Plays a positive role in pyroptosis by stabilizing gasdermin E/GSDME through removal of its 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination (PubMed:36607699).

Activity summary

USP48 also known as Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 48 acts as a deubiquitinating enzyme. It specifically removes ubiquitin from target proteins influencing protein stability and function. USP48 has a molecular mass of approximately 130 kDa. This enzyme expresses in various tissues with significant levels observed in the brain and immune cells. Researchers recognize its involvement in protein homeostasis through regulation of protein degradation pathways.

Biological function summary

Protein deubiquitination by USP48 affects cellular processes such as DNA repair transcription regulation and signal transduction. USP48 does not function as part of a stable complex but it associates transiently with substrates and other molecular partners during its activity. It has a role in maintaining genomic stability by modulating transcription factors and repair proteins through deubiquitination.

Pathways

One can find USP48 participating in the NF-kB signaling pathway. It stabilizes RelA an important NF-kB subunit by removing ubiquitin which influences the transcription of genes involved in immune response and inflammation. USP48 also interacts with proteins such as OTUB1 in these pathways contributing to the balance of protein ubiquitination and deubiquitination within the cell.

Associated diseases and disorders

Research connections exist between USP48 and several cancers including glioblastoma due to its regulation of pathways that control cell survival and proliferation. USP48's interactions with NF-kB impact glioblastoma progression by altering the expression of genes that promote cell growth. Defective USP48 activity also associates with neurodegenerative disorders where its modulation of protein stability could contribute to neuron degeneration through inadequate DNA repair mechanisms.
