In vitro processing assays for which 2.5 µM (A) His6-FUBI(WT)-eS30, (B) His6-FUBI(AA)-eS30, (C) His6-FUBI-EGFP, and (D) His6-Ub-EGFP were incubated with 0.5 µM His10-USP36-TEV-St WT or CA mutant at 37°C. Samples taken at the indicated time points (0, 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120 min) were analyzed on Coomassie brilliant blue-stained gels. Unprocessed substrates are marked with an asterisk (*). Note that the enzyme preparation contains USP36 degradation products (marked with a dagger (†), see Figure 7—figure supplement 1). (E) Quantification of USP36-dependent processing based on the levels of the uncleaved substrates, highlighted by dashed colored boxes in panels (A to D), each normalized to t = 0 min from three technical replicates. Half-lives (t1/2) of fitted one-phase exponential decay curves are indicated for processed substrates.
