Protein
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase YUH1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) that controls levels of cellular ubiquitin through processing of ubiquitin precursors and ubiquitinated proteins. Thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of either ubiquitin or RUB1. Preferentially cleaves ubiquitin from peptides and small adducts.
Similarity
Belongs to the peptidase C12 family.
