DESCRIPTION

Also known as OTU7B_HUMAN, OTUD7B, ZA20D1. Negative regulator of the non-canonical NF-kappa-B pathway that acts by mediating deubiquitination of TRAF3, an inhibitor of the NF-kappa-B pathway, thereby acting as a negative regulator of B-cell responses. In response to non-canonical NF-kappa-B stimuli, deubiquitinates 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains of TRAF3, preventing TRAF3 proteolysis and over-activation of non-canonical NF-kappa-B. Negatively regulates mucosal immunity against infections (By similarity). Deubiquitinates ZAP70, and thereby regulates T cell receptor (TCR) signaling that leads to the activation of NF-kappa-B (PubMed:26903241). Plays a role in T cell homeostasis and is required for normal T cell responses, including production of IFNG and IL2 (By similarity). Mediates deubiquitination of EGFR (PubMed:22179831). Has deubiquitinating activity toward 'Lys-11', 'Lys-48' and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains (PubMed:27732584). Has a much higher catalytic rate with 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains (in vitro); however the physiological significance of these data are unsure (PubMed:27732584). Hydrolyzes both linear and branched forms of polyubiquitin. Interacts with ZAP70 in activated T cells, but not in resting T cells (PubMed:26903241). Interacts with TRAF3 (By similarity). Interacts with TRAF6 (PubMed:11463333). Interacts with PARK7, leading to inhibit deubiquitinase activity (PubMed:21097510). Interacts with EGFR, ITCH and NEDD4 (PubMed:22179831).
