Summary
USP37 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 37, HGNC:20063) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q35, encoding Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 37 (Q86T82). Deubiquitinase that plays a role in different processes including cell cycle regulation, DNA replication or DNA damage response. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 71.1% of cell lines).
Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity; cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; protein deubiquitination; and regulation of DNA replication. Located in nucleus.

Function. Deubiquitinase that plays a role in different processes including cell cycle regulation, DNA replication or DNA damage response. Antagonizes the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) during G1/S transition by mediating deubiquitination of cyclin-A (CCNA1 and CCNA2), thereby promoting S phase entry. Specifically mediates deubiquitination of ‘Lys-11’-linked polyubiquitin chains, a specific ubiquitin-linkage type mediated by the APC/C complex. Phosphorylation at Ser-628 during G1/S phase maximizes the deubiquitinase activity, leading to prevent degradation of cyclin-A (CCNA1 and CCNA2). Plays an important role in the regulation of DNA replication by stabilizing the licensing factor CDT1. Also plays an essential role beyond S-phase entry to promote the efficiency and fidelity of replication by deubiquitinating checkpoint kinase 1/CHK1, promoting its stability. Sustains the DNA damage response (DDR) by deubiquitinating and stabilizing the ATP-dependent DNA helicase BLM. Mechanistically, DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) promotes ATM-mediated phosphorylation of USP37 and enhances the binding between USP37 and BLM. Promotes cell migration by deubiquitinating and stabilizing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-inducing transcription factor SNAI. Plays a role in the regulation of mitotic spindle assembly and mitotic progression by associating with chromatin-associated WAPL and stabilizing it through deubiquitination.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with FZR1/CDH1. Interacts with CDT1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain and prostate.
Post-translational modifications. Polyubiquitinated via ‘Lys-11’-linked ubiquitin by the APC(CDH1) complex during late mitosis, leading to its degradation. Able to mediate auto-deubiquitination. Phosphorylated at Ser-628 by CDK2 during G1/S phase but not during mitosis; phosphorylation at Ser-628 is required for deubiquitinase activity. Also polyubiquitinated during early G1 phase, without leading to degradation. Phosphorylated at Ser-114 by ATM following DNA damage, which in turn increases its deubiquitination activity towards BLM.
Domain organisation. The KEN box 3 is required for interaction with FZR1/CDH1 and is essential for APC(CDH1)-mediated ubiquitination.
Induction. Induced by E2F transcription factors in G1.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase C19 family.
