Background: Deconjugating enzymes (DCEs) are proteases that process ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like gene products, reverse the modification of proteins by a single ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like protein (UBL) and remodel polyubiquitin (or poly-UBL) chains on target proteins (Reyes-Turcu et al., 2009). The deubiquitylating – or deubiquitinating – enzymes (DUBs) represent the largest family of DCEs and regulate ubiquitin-dependent signalling pathways. The activities of the DUBs include the generation of free ubiquitin from precursor molecules, the recycling of ubiquitin following substrate degradation to maintain cellular ubiquitin homeostasis and the removal of ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins (UBL) modifications through chain editing to rescue proteins from proteasomal degradation or to influence cell signalling events (Komander et al., 2009). There are two main classes of DUB, cysteine proteases and metalloproteases. OTUB1 is a cysteine protease and a member of the OTU (ovarian tumour) superfamily of proteins (Balakirev et al., 2003). Cloning of the human gene was first described by Balakirev et al. (2003). OTU family DUBs contain a papain-like catalytic core of ~180 amino acids. In addition to their catalytic domain, many OTU members have additional ubiquitin-binding domains (UBDs). At least 20 different UBD families have been described, and knowledge of linkage-specific UBDs have provided the means to understand the roles of different ubiquitin linkages in cells (Licchesi et al., 2012). OTUB1 is highly selective for the cleavage of K48-linked ubiquitin chains and proteomic analyses have indicated that OTUB1 binds to E2s of the UBE2D and UBE2E families including UBE2D1 (Juang et al., 2012). OTUB1 was recently shown to modulate p53 stability through inhibition of UBE2D1. p53 is known to be ubiquitylated and destabilized by MDM2 and several other ubiquitin E3s and both deubiquitylated and stabilized by USP7 and USP10. Recent studies have shown that OTUB1 can directly suppress MDM2-mediated p53 ubiquitylation in cells and in vitro. Overexpression of OTUB1 drastically stabilizes and activates p53, leading to apoptosis and marked inhibition of cell proliferation in a p53-dependent manner (Sun et al., 2012). OTUB1 has also been shown to bind to and inhibit UBE2N, the cognate E2 enzyme for the E3 ligase RNF168. OTUB1 can suppress RNF168-dependent poly-ubiquitylation independently of its catalytic activity. OTUB1 depletion mitigates the double strand break repair defect associated with defective Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) signalling, indicating that pharmacological targeting of the OTUB1-UBE2N interaction might enhance the DNA damage response (Blackford and Stewart, 2011; Nakada et al., 2010).
