Summary
USP44 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 44, HGNC:20064) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q22, encoding Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 44 (Q9H0E7). Deubiquitinase that plays a key regulatory role in the spindle assembly checkpoint or mitotic checkpoint by preventing premature anaphase onset.
The protein encoded by this gene is a protease that functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme. The encoded protein is thought to help regulate the spindle assembly checkpoint by preventing early anaphase onset. This protein specifically deubiquitinates CDC20, which stabilizes the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome.

Function. Deubiquitinase that plays a key regulatory role in the spindle assembly checkpoint or mitotic checkpoint by preventing premature anaphase onset. Acts by specifically mediating deubiquitination of CDC20, a negative regulator of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). Deubiquitination of CDC20 leads to stabilize the MAD2L1-CDC20-APC/C ternary complex (also named mitotic checkpoint complex), thereby preventing premature activation of the APC/C. Promotes association of MAD2L1 with CDC20 and reinforces the spindle assembly checkpoint. Also promotes the deubiquitination of histone H2A and H2B. Recruited to RNF8/RNF168-ubiquitinated chromatin surrounding double stranded breaks (DSBs), promotes hydrolysis of such ubiquitin conjugates, thus negatively regulating protein recruitment to damaged chromatin. Participates in nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway by deubiquitinating DDB2 to prevent its premature degradation so it can remain on damaged chromatin. Promotes FOXP3 stabilization through ‘Lys-48’-linked deubiquitination leading to increased stability and increased regulatory T-cell lineage stability. Also plays a positive role in innate immune response to DNA viruses by deubiquitinating STING1, selectively removing its ‘Lys-48’-linked polyubiquitin chains and stabilizing it.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with the N-CoR components TBL1X and TBL1XR1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in testis. Expressed at high levels in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Post-translational modifications. Dephosphorylated by CTDP1. Ubiquitinated; undergoes both ‘Lys-48’- and ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitination and is degraded by the proteasome.
Induction. Transcriptionally regulated by POU5F1/OCT4 in embryonic stem cells and embryonal carcinoma cells. Induced by TGF-beta during regulatory T-cells differentiation.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. USP44 subfamily.
