Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitin-specific protease 8 (USP8) is a deubiquitinating enzyme involved in multiple membrane trafficking pathways. The enzyme activity is inhibited by binding to 14-3-3 proteins. Mutations in the 14-3-3-binding motif in USP8 are related to Cushing's disease. However, the molecular basis of USP8 activity regulation remains unclear. This study identified amino acids 645-684 of USP8 as an autoinhibitory region,...
