Tbio WDR48 WD repeat-containing protein 48

Protein Summary

Description

Regulator of deubiquitinating complexes. Acts as a strong activator of USP1 and USP46 (PubMed:18082604, PubMed:19075014, PubMed:26388029). Enhances the USP1-mediated deubiquitination of FANCD2; USP1 being almost inactive by itself (PubMed:18082604). Also activates deubiquitinating activity of complexes containing USP12 (PubMed:19075014, PubMed:27650958, PubMed:27373336). Docks at the distal end of the USP12 fingers domain and induces a cascade of structural changes leading to the activation of the enzyme (PubMed:27650958, PubMed:27373336). Activates deubiquitination by increasing the catalytic turnover without increasing the affinity of deubiquitinating enzymes for the substrate (PubMed:19075014, PubMed:27373336). In complex with USP12, acts as a potential tumor suppressor by positively regulating PHLPP1 stability (PubMed:24145035). In case of infection by Herpesvirus saimiri, may play a role in vesicular transport or membrane fusion events necessary for transport to lysosomes. Induces lysosomal vesicle formation via interaction with Herpesvirus saimiri tyrosine kinase-interacting protein (TIP). Subsequently, TIP recruits tyrosine-protein kinase LCK, resulting in down-regulation of T-cell antigen receptor TCR. May play a role in generation of enlarged endosomal vesicles via interaction with TIP (PubMed:12196293). In case of infection by papillomavirus HPV11, promotes the maintenance of the viral genome via its interaction with HPV11 helicase E1 (PubMed:18032488). The protein encoded by this gene has been shown to interact with ubiquitin specific peptidase 1 (USP1), activating the deubiquitinating activity of USP1 and allowing it to remove the ubiquitin moiety from monoubiquitinated FANCD2. FANCD2 is ubiquitinated in response to DNA damage. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
