Figure 1. The catalytic domain (CD) of UCH37 confers K48 linkage specificity.

(A) Structure of UCH37 bound RPN13DEUBAD (PDB ID: 4UEL; see also 4WLR) highlighting residues comprising the canonical S1 (cS1) Ubiquitin (Ub)-binding site (shown in pink). (B) Original hypothesis for how UCH37 uses the cS1 site along with an unknown S1' site to catalyze K48 chain debranching. (B) SDS-PAGE analysis of 6×His-UCH37C88A-mediated pulldowns with M1-, K6-, K11-, K29-, K33-, K48-, and K63-linked Ub chains. Each chain (50 pmol) was mixed with 6×His-UCH37C88A (5 nmol) immobilized on Ni-NTA resin. (C) SDS-PAGE analysis of 6×His-UCH37(CD)C88A with M1-, K6-, K11-, K29-, K33-, K48-, and K63-linked Ub chains. Each chain (50 pmol) was mixed with 6×His-UCH37(CD)C88A (5 nmol) immobilized on Ni-NTA resin. (D–E) Isothermal titration calorimetry analysis of UCH37(CD)C88A binding to K48 tri-Ub (C), and K63 tri-Ub. (D) (F) Size exclusion chromatography coupled with multiangle light scattering (SEC-MALS) analysis of the interaction between UCH37(CD)C88A and K48 tri-Ub. * denotes a UV peak without corresponding light scattering data. (G) Theoretical and calculated molar mass of complexes detected by SEC-MALS.
