Usp16 | Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 16; Specifically deubiquitinates 'Lys-120' of histone H2A (H2AK119Ub), a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, thereby acting as a coactivator. Deubiquitination of histone H2A is a prerequisite for subsequent phosphorylation at 'Ser-11' of histone H3 (H3S10ph), and is required for chromosome segregation when cells enter into mitosis. In resting B- and T-lymphocytes, phosphorylation by AURKB leads to enhance its activity, thereby maintaining transcription in resting lymphocytes. Regulates Hox gene expression via histone H2A deubiqu [...] (825 aa) | ||||
Sde2 | Replication stress response regulator SDE2; Involved in both DNA replication and cell cycle control. Unprocessed SDE2 interacts with PCNA via its PIP-box. The interaction with PCNA prevents monoubiquitination of the latter thereby inhibiting translesion DNA synthesis. The binding of SDE2 to PCNA also leads to processing of SDE2 by an unidentified deubiquitinating enzyme, cleaving off the N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain. The resulting mature SDE2 is degraded by the DCX(DTL) complex in a cell cycle- and DNA damage dependent manner. Binding of SDE2 to PCNA is necessary to counteract dama [...] (448 aa) |
