General annotation (Comments)
| Function | May function as a ubiquitin-protein or polyubiquitin hydrolase involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins. May therefore play an important role regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation of proteins through the removal of conjugated ubiquitin. Essential component of TGF-beta/BMP signaling cascade. Deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated SMAD4, opposing the activity of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM33. Monoubiquitination of SMAD4 hampers its ability to form a stable complex with activated SMAD2/3 resulting in inhibition of TGF-beta/BMP signaling cascade. Deubiqitination of SMAD4 by USP9X re-empowers its competence to mediate TGF-beta signaling By similarity. |
| Catalytic activity | Thiol-dependent hydrolysis of ester, thioester, amide, peptide and isopeptide bonds formed by the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin (a 76-residue protein attached to proteins as an intracellular targeting signal). |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with SMAD4 By similarity. |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm By similarity. |
| Tissue specificity | Widely expressed in embryonic and adult tissues. |
| Involvement in disease | USP9Y is located in the 'azoospermia factor a' (AZFa) region on chromosome Y which is deleted in Sertoli cell-only syndrome. This is an infertility disorder in which no germ cells are visible in seminiferous tubules leading to azoospermia. However, AZFa deletions resulting in complete loss of USP9Y have also been found in normospermic men (Ref.7). Spermatogenic failure Y-linked 2 (SPGFY2) [MIM:415000]: A disorder resulting in the absence (azoospermia) or reduction (oligozoospermia) of sperm in the semen, leading to male infertility. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. |
Ontologies
Alternative products
| This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select] Note: Additional isoforms seem to exist. | ||||||
| Isoform Long (identifier: O00507-1) This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry. | ||||||
| Isoform Short (identifier: O00507-2) The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 2071-2555: Missing. | ||||||
| Note: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. |
