epitope corresponding to amino acids 73-372 mapping at the C-terminus of USP18 of human origin
Modification Notes
The ubiquitin (Ub) pathway involves three sequential enzymatic steps that facilitate the conjugation of Ub and Ub-like molecules to specific protein substrates. A wide range of enzymes facilitate the proteolytic Ub pathway, including the ubiquitin specific peptidase, USP18 (also designated interferon-stimulated gene 43 (ISG43), ISG15-specific-processing protease, Ubl carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 18 and Ubp43). USP18, a member of the peptidase C19 family, maintains a critical cellular balance of ISG15-conjugated proteins in stressed and healthy organisms. It can efficiently cleave ISG15 fusions including native ISG15 conjugates linked by isopeptide bonds. In mice, deletion of the USP18 gene leads to a large increase of ISG15 conjugates in tissues. USP18 expression is negatively regulated by RNase-L and induced by interferon.
