Anti-USP37

USP37 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 37) is a 979 amino acid protein that contains three UIM (ubiquitin-interacting motif) repeats and belongs to thepeptidase C19 family. Expressed in prostate and brain tissue, USP37 functions to catalyze the conversion of a ubiquitin C-terminal thioester to a free ubiquitin and a thiol. The gene encoding USP37 maps to human chromosome 2, which houses over 1,400 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome. Protein function: Deubiquitinase that antagonizes the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) during G1/S transition by mediating deubiquitination of cyclin-A (CCNA1 and CCNA2), thereby promoting S phase entry. Specifically mediates deubiquitination of 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains, a specific ubiquitin-linkage type mediated by the APC/C complex. Also mediates deubiquitination of 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains in vitro. Phosphorylation at Ser-628 during G1/S phase maximizes the deubiquitinase activity, leading to prevent degradation of cyclin-A (CCNA1 and CCNA2) (PubMed:21596315). Plays an important role in the regulation of DNA replication by stabilizing the licensing factor CDT1 (PubMed:27296872). [The UniProt Consortium]
