Otubain-1 Polyclonal Antibody

function:Hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins in vitro and may therefore play an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation. Regulator of T-cell anergy, a phenomenon that occurs when T-cells are rendered unresponsive to antigen rechallenge and no longer respond to their cognate antigen. Acts via its interaction with RNF128/GRAIL, a crucial inductor of CD4 T-cell anergy. Isoform 1 destabilizes RNF128, leading to prevent anergy. In contrast, isoform 2 stabilizes RNF128 and promotes anergy. Surprisingly, it regulates RNF128-mediated ubiquitination, but does not deubiquitinate polyubiquitinated RNF128.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase C65 family.,similarity:Contains 1 OTU domain.,subunit:Isoform 1 and isoform 2 interact with RNF128. Isoform 1 forms a ternary complex with RNF128 and USP8. Isoform 1 interacts with the C-terminal UCH catalytic domain of USP8. Isoform 2 does not associate with USP8.,tissue specificity:Isoform 1 is ubiquitous. Isoform 2 is expressed only in lymphoid tissues such as tonsils, lymph nodes and spleen, as well as peripheral blood mononuclear cells.,
