Function
Deubiquitinating enzyme that removes conjugated ubiquitin from target proteins (PubMed:16316627, PubMed:16339847, PubMed:16472766, PubMed:20595234, PubMed:22347420, PubMed:25404403, PubMed:28604766, PubMed:30514904). Deubiquitinates PDPK1 (PubMed:22347420). Deubiquitinates TRIM21 (PubMed:16316627). Deubiquitinates receptor ADORA2A which increases the amount of functional receptor at the cell surface (PubMed:16339847). Deubiquitinates HAS2 (PubMed:28604766). Deubiquitinates MAVs leading to maintain MAVS protein stability, resulting in increased production of type I interferons (IFN-I) and enhanced antiviral innate immune responses against viral infections (PubMed:39589880). Deubiquitinates RHEB in response to EGF signaling, promoting mTORC1 signaling (PubMed:30514904). May regulate mRNA splicing through deubiquitination of the U4 spliceosomal protein PRPF3 (PubMed:20595234). This may prevent its recognition by the U5 component PRPF8 thereby destabilizing interactions within the U4/U6.U5 snRNP (PubMed:20595234). May also play a role in the regulation of quality control in the ER (PubMed:16339847)
