ZUP1

protein-coding

zinc finger containing ubiquitin peptidase 1, the group of ZUP1 deubiquitinase|Zinc fingers C2H2-type

Gene summary

This gene encodes a protein containing zinc finger motifs and a cysteine peptidase domain. The encoded protein functions as a K63-specific de-ubiquitinating enzyme that specifically cleaves long K63-linked polyubiquitin chains in the middle of a chain (i.e. "endo cleavage) rather than by removing the terminal ubiquitin from a chain. This enzyme is thought to be involved in the regulation of DNA repair by cleaving K63-linked ubiquitin chains at repair foci. This protein is related to proteases for the ubiquitin-like modifiers Ufm1 (ubiquitin fold modifier 1) and Atg8/Gabarapl2, but does not have any activity on these modifiers.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_145062.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Deubiquitinase with endodeubiquitinase activity that specifically interacts with and cleaves 'Lys-63'-linked long polyubiquitin chains. Shows only weak activity against 'Lys-11' and 'Lys-48'-linked chains (PubMed:29576528, PubMed:29563501, PubMed:29476094). Plays an important role in genome stability pathways, functioning to prevent spontaneous DNA damage and also promote cellular survival in response to exogenous DNA damage (PubMed:29576528, PubMed:29576527). Modulates the ubiquitination status of replication protein A (RPA) complex proteins in response to replication stress (PubMed:29563501). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29476094, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29563501, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29576527, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29576528}.;
