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. Ref.1 Ref.8 Ref.10

Catalytic activity

Ubiquitin C-terminal thioester + H2O = ubiquitin + a thiol. Ref.10

Subunit structure

Homotetramer. Ref.10

Subcellular location

Nucleus Probable.

Tissue specificity

Present in all the tissues examined including fetal brain, lung, liver, kidney, and adult heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Ref.1

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.

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. Ref.1 Ref.9 Ref.11

Involvement in disease

A chromosomal aberration involving USP16 is a cause of Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Inversion inv(21) (q21;q22) with RUNX1/AML1.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. USP16 subfamily.

Contains 1 UBP-type zinc finger.
