Engineered diubiquitin synthesis reveals Lys29-isopeptide specificity of an OTU deubiquitinase

TL;DR: The crystal structure of Lys6-linked diubiquitin is solved, providing a molecular basis for the different biological functions this linkage may regulate, and it is discovered that TRABID cleaves the Lys29 linkage 40-fold more efficiently than the Lys63 linkage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening of DUB activity and specificity by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

TL;DR: This work has developed a sensitive and fast assay to quantify in vitro DUB enzyme activity using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, and confirms the high specificity of many members of the OTU and JAB/MPN/Mov34 metalloenzyme DUB families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traceless and site-specific ubiquitination of recombinant proteins.

TL;DR: This work combines the genetically directed incorporation of 7 with native chemical ligation and desulfurization to yield an entirely native isopeptide bond between substrate proteins and ubiquitin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity-based E3 ligase profiling uncovers an E3 ligase with esterification activity

TL;DR: Non-lysine ubiquitination activity of the E3 ubiquitin ligase MYCBP2 is identified by activity-based profiling and biochemical and structural analysis of MYC BP2 suggests the basis for its mechanism and specificity, and suggests that E3 enzymes have an unappreciated mechanistic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular basis for ubiquitin and ISG15 cross-reactivity in viral ovarian tumor domains.

TL;DR: The viral OTU domain of CCHFV (vOTU) is characterized biochemically and structurally, revealing that it hydrolyzes four out of six tested Ub linkages, but lacks activity against linear and K29-linked Ub chains.
