title: Regulating UBP-mediated ubiquitin deconjugation.
abstract: The first crystal structures have been obtained for a UBP domain both alone and in complex with ubiquitin aldehyde, thus providing a framework for structural conservation throughout the UBP protease family. Comparison of the structures provides substantial insight into ubiquitin-mediated activation of UBP protease activity, a process that potentially regulates substrate-dependent ubiquitin deconjugation.
