General annotation (Comments)

Function

Specifically deubiquitinates histone H2A, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, thereby acting as a coactivator. Deubiquitination of histone H2A is a prerequisite for subsequent phosphorylation at 'Ser-10' of histone H3, and is required for chromosome segregation when cells enter into mitosis. Regulates Hox gene expression via histone H2A deubiquitination. Prefers nucleosomal substrates. Does not deubiquitinate histone H2B 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

Homotetramer By similarity.

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity.

Domain

The UBP-type zinc finger binds 3 zinc ions that form a pair of cross-braced ring fingers encapsulated within a third zinc finger in the primary structure. It recognizes the C-terminal tail of free ubiquitin By similarity.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated at the onset of mitosis and dephosphorylated during the metaphase/anaphase transition. The phosphorylated form of the protein is also enzymatically active By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. USP16 subfamily.

Contains 1 UBP-type zinc finger.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAI12387.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.
