USP16 also known as Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 16 functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme that regulates protein degradation by cleaving ubiquitin from ubiquitin-conjugated protein substrates. It has a molecular mass of approximately 97 kDa. USP16 is expressed in various tissues with high levels in the brain and heart. It has an integral role in maintaining protein homeostasis by regulating degradation pathways necessary for cellular function.
Biological function summary

The enzymatic activity of USP16 removes ubiquitin moieties contributing to the stabilization of target proteins. It participates in several cellular processes including cell cycle regulation DNA damage response and chromatin remodeling. USP16 is associated with the Polycomb group (PcG) complex which plays a role in transcriptional repression. This involvement in epigenetic regulation highlights its importance in gene expression and cellular differentiation.

Pathways

USP16 is significant in the Wnt signaling pathway and the Hedgehog signaling pathway. In the Wnt pathway USP16 regulates beta-catenin degradation influencing cell proliferation and differentiation. Through the Hedgehog pathway USP16 impacts the stability of GLI transcription factors affecting developmental processes and tissue patterning. USP16 interacts with proteins like Axin and APC in the Wnt pathway illustrating its role in complex regulatory networks.

Researchers have found connections between USP16 dysregulation and cancer particularly leukemia and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. In cancer USP16 overexpression can lead to increased cell proliferation through pathways involving proteins such as MYC and Cyclin D1. Related to neurodegenerative disorders USP16's interaction with proteins like amyloid precursor protein (APP) contributes to pathologies like Alzheimer's where proteostasis and ubiquitination play critical roles. Understanding USP16's functions and connections can provide insights into therapeutic targets for these diseases.

General info

Function

Specifically deubiquitinates 'Lys-120' of histone H2A (H2AK119Ub), a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, thereby acting as a coactivator (PubMed : 17914355). Deubiquitination of histone H2A is a prerequisite for subsequent phosphorylation at 'Ser-11' of histone H3 (H3S10ph), and is required for chromosome segregation when cells enter into mitosis (PubMed : 17914355). In resting B- and T-lymphocytes, phosphorylation by AURKB leads to enhance its activity, thereby maintaining transcription in resting lymphocytes. Regulates Hox gene expression via histone H2A deubiquitination (PubMed : 17914355). Prefers nucleosomal substrates (PubMed : 17914355). Does not deubiquitinate histone H2B (PubMed : 17914355). Also deubiquitinates non-histone proteins, such as ribosomal protein RPS27A : deubiquitination of monoubiquitinated RPS27A promotes maturation of the 40S ribosomal subunit (PubMed : 32129764). Also mediates deubiquitination of tektin proteins (TEKT1, TEKT2, TEK3, TEKT4 and TEKT5), promoting their stability.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. USP16 subfamily.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated at the onset of mitosis and dephosphorylated during the metaphase/anaphase transition. Phosphorylation by AURKB enhances the deubiquitinase activity.
