Table 1. DUBs used in UbiCRest.

Linkage type DUB Useful final [conc] (1x) Comments on the DUB Ref.
All eight linkages including proximal ubiquitin USP21 or USP2 1-5 µM (USP21) Positive control. 28
All linkages excluding Met1 and most proximal ubiquitin CCHFV viral OTU (vOTU) 0.5-3 µM Positive control, does not cleave Met1 linkages. 38
Lys6 OTUD3 1-20 µM Cleaves Lys11 chains equally well. Targets other isopeptide linkages at high concentrations (Lys63 better (>) than the others, not Met1). 27,31
Lys11 Cezanne 0.1-2 µM Very active, non-specific at very high concentrations (Lys63 > Lys48 > others, not Met1). 27,39
Lys27 OTUD2 1-20 µM Also cleaves Lys11, Lys29, Lys33, prefers longer Lys11 chains. Non-specific at high concentrations (Lys48 > others, not Met1). 27
Lys29 TRABID 0.5-10 µM Cleaves Lys 29 and Lys33 equally well, and Lys63 with lower activity. Might target other linkages at higher concentrations (not Met1). Low yields from bacterial expression. 40
Lys33
Lys48 OTUB1 1-20 µM Highly Lys48-specific. Not very active. Can be used at high concentrations. 27,41
Lys63 OTUD1 0.1-2 µM Very active, non-specific at high concentrations (Lys48 > others, not Met1). 27
Lys63 AMSH / AMSH-LP 1-20 μM Highly Lys63-specific. Not very active against long chains. Can be used at high concentrations. 5,23
Met1/linear OTULIN Any (10 nM – 10 μM) Very active and specific, can be used at high concentrations. 32
