Summary
USP53 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 53, HGNC:29255) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 4q26, encoding Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 53 (Q70EK8). Deubiquitinase that mediates ‘Lys-63’-linked deubiquitination of tight junction proteins, such as MARVELD2 and LSR, and which is involved in the survival of auditory hair cells and hearing.
Enables K63-linked deubiquitinase activity. Predicted to be involved in response to auditory stimulus and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to act upstream of or within action potential; epithelial cell apoptotic process; and outer hair cell apoptotic process. Located in bicellular tight junction. Implicated in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis.

Function. Deubiquitinase that mediates ‘Lys-63’-linked deubiquitination of tight junction proteins, such as MARVELD2 and LSR, and which is involved in the survival of auditory hair cells and hearing. Specifically cleaves ‘Lys-63’-linked polyubiquitin chains composed of at least 3 ubiquitin molecules, while it is not able to deubiquitinate substrates with shorter ubiquitin chains: recognizes ubiquitin chain in position S2 and catalyzes en bloc cleavage of polyubiquitin chains from substrate proteins. Probably acts by modulating the barrier properties and mechanical stability of tight junctions via deubiquitination of MARVELD2 and LSR.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via the C-terminal region) with the heterodimer TJP1:TJP2.
Subcellular location. Cell junction. Tight junction.
Tissue specificity. Expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle and heart.
Disease relevance. Cholestasis, progressive familial intrahepatic, 7, with or without hearing loss (PFIC7) [MIM:619658] An autosomal recessive form of progressive cholestasis, a disorder characterized by early onset of cholestasis that progresses to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease. Some PFIC7 patients develop hearing loss in childhood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase C19 family.
