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.
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.
