DESCRIPTION

Also known as UBP7_HUMAN, USP7, HAUSP. Hydrolase that deubiquitinates target proteins such as FOXO4, p53/TP53, MDM2, ERCC6, DNMT1, UHRF1, PTEN, KMT2E/MLL5 and DAXX (PubMed:11923872, PubMed:15053880, PubMed:16964248, PubMed:18716620, PubMed:25283148, PubMed:26678539, PubMed:28655758). Together with DAXX, prevents MDM2 self-ubiquitination and enhances the E3 ligase activity of MDM2 towards p53/TP53, thereby promoting p53/TP53 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation (PubMed:15053880, PubMed:16845383, PubMed:18566590, PubMed:20153724). Deubiquitinates p53/TP53, preventing degradation of p53/TP53, and enhances p53/TP53-dependent transcription regulation, cell growth repression and apoptosis (PubMed:25283148). Deubiquitinates p53/TP53 and MDM2 and strongly stabilizes p53/TP53 even in the presence of excess MDM2, and also induces p53/TP53-dependent cell growth repression and apoptosis (PubMed:11923872). Deubiquitination of FOXO4 in presence of hydrogen peroxide is not dependent on p53/TP53 and inhibits FOXO4-induced transcriptional activity (PubMed:16964248). In association with DAXX, is involved in the deubiquitination and translocation of PTEN from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, both processes that are counteracted by PML (PubMed:18716620). Deubiquitinates KMT2E/MLL5 preventing KMT2E/MLL5 proteasomal-mediated degradation (PubMed:26678539). Involved in cell proliferation during early embryonic development. Involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) in response to UV damage: recruited to DNA damage sites following interaction with KIAA1530/UVSSA and promotes deubiquitination of ERCC6, preventing UV-induced degradation of ERCC6 (PubMed:22466611, PubMed:22466612). Involved in maintenance of DNA methylation via its interaction with UHRF1 and DNMT1: acts by mediating deubiquitination of UHRF1 and DNMT1, preventing their degradation and promoting DNA methylation by DNMT1 (PubMed:21745816, PubMed:22411829). Deubiquitinates alkylation repair enzyme ALKBH3. OTUD4 recruits USP7 and USP9X to stabilize ALKBH3, thereby promoting the repair of alkylated DNA lesions (PubMed:25944111). Acts as a chromatin regulator via its association with the Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex; may act by deubiquitinating components of the PRC1-like complex (PubMed:20601937). Able to mediate deubiquitination of histone H2B; it is however unsure whether this activity takes place in vivo (PubMed:20601937). Exhibits a preference towards 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin chains (PubMed:22689415). Increases regulatory T-cells (Treg) suppressive capacity by deubiquitinating and stabilizing the transcription factor FOXP3 which is crucial for Treg cell function (PubMed:23973222). Plays a role in the maintenance of the circadian clock periodicity via deubiquitination and stabilization of the CRY1 and CRY2 proteins (PubMed:27123980). Deubiquitinates REST, thereby stabilizing REST and promoting the maintenance of neural progenitor cells (PubMed:21258371). Deubiquitinates SIRT7, inhibiting SIRT7 histone deacetylase activity and regulating gluconeogenesis (PubMed:28655758)., (Microbial infection) Contributes to the overall stabilization and trans-activation capability of the herpesvirus 1 trans-acting transcriptional protein ICP0/VMW110 during HSV-1 infection. Monomer. Homodimer. Part of a complex with DAXX, MDM2, RASSF1 and USP7 (PubMed:18566590). Part of a complex with DAXX, MDM2 and USP7 (PubMed:16845383). Interacts with MDM2; the interaction is independent of p53/TP53. Interacts with DAXX; the interaction is direct and independent of MDM2 and p53/TP53 (PubMed:16845383). Component of a complex composed of KMT2E/MLL5 (isoform 3), OGT (isoform 1) and USP7; the complex stabilizes KMT2E/MLL5, preventing KMT2E/MLL5 ubiquitination and proteosomal-mediated degradation (PubMed:26678539). Interacts (via MATH domain) with KMT2E/MLL5 isoform 3 (PubMed:26678539). Interacts with OGT isoform 1 (PubMed:26678539). Interacts with FOXO4; the interaction is enhanced in presence of hydrogen peroxide and occurs independently of p53/TP53 (PubMed:16964248). Interacts with p53/TP53; the interaction is enhanced in response to DNA damage (PubMed:25283148). Interacts with TSPYL5; this impairs interaction with p53/TP53 (PubMed:21170034). Interacts with PTEN; the interaction is direct (PubMed:18716620). Interacts with ATXN1 and the strength of interaction is influenced by the length of the poly-Gln region in ATXN1 (PubMed:12093161). A weaker interaction seen with mutants having longer poly-Gln regions (PubMed:12093161). Interacts with KIAA1530/UVSSA (PubMed:22466611, PubMed:22466612). Interacts with ABRAXAS2; the interaction is direct (PubMed:25283148). Identified in a complex with TP53/p53 and ABRAXAS2 (PubMed:25283148). Interacts with MEX3C and antagonizes its ability to degrade mRNA (PubMed:22863774). Interacts with DNMT1 and UHRF1 (PubMed:21745816, PubMed:22411829). Interacts with FOXP3 (PubMed:23973222). Interacts (via MATH domain) with RNF220. Associated component of the Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex (PubMed:20601937). Interacts with EPOP (By similarity). Interacts with OTUD4 and USP9X; the interaction is direct (PubMed:25944111). Interacts with CRY2 (PubMed:27123980). Interacts with REST (PubMed:21258371). Interacts with ERCC6 (PubMed:26030138).
