Ubiquitination is important for a broad array of cellular functions. Although reversal of this process, de-ubiquitination, most probably represents an important regulatory step contributing to cellular homeostasis, the specificity and properties of de-ubiquitination enzymes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ubiquitin protease Ubp3 requires an additional protein, Bre5, to form an active de-ubiquitination complex that cleaves ubiquitin from specific… CONTINUE READING
