Summary of deubiquitination efficiency (nm−1 × min−1) for proteasome and associated DUBs
Enzymatic efficiency of polyUb chain disassembly by deubiquitination enzymes in this study was calculated using Equation 1 (see “Experimental Procedures”). Disassembly efficiency of Ub2 substrate was determined by quantifying the Ub2 gel band intensity. Values for Ub4, Ub6+, and UbcH5b-Ubn were determined by following the decrease in signal intensity of residual substrate relative to the entire signal generated by Ub in all of its forms.
