== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/UBB_HUMAN UBB_HUMAN] Ubiquitin exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different Lys residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator Met of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the Lys residue of the ubiquitin that is linked: Lys-6-linked may be involved in DNA repair; Lys-11-linked is involved in ERAD (endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation) and in cell-cycle regulation; Lys-29-linked is involved in lysosomal degradation; Lys-33-linked is involved in kinase modification; Lys-48-linked is involved in protein degradation via the proteasome; Lys-63-linked is involved in endocytosis, DNA-damage responses as well as in signaling processes leading to activation of the transcription factor NF-kappa-B. Linear polymer chains formed via attachment by the initiator Met lead to cell signaling. Ubiquitin is usually conjugated to Lys residues of target proteins, however, in rare cases, conjugation to Cys or Ser residues has been observed. When polyubiquitin is free (unanchored-polyubiquitin), it also has distinct roles, such as in activation of protein kinases, and in signaling.<ref>PMID:16543144</ref> <ref>PMID:19754430</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) deubiquitinase activity is controlled by a number of regulatory factors, including stimulation by intramolecular accessory domains. Alone, the USP7 catalytic domain (USP7cd) shows limited activity and apo USP7cd crystal structures reveal a disrupted catalytic triad. By contrast, ubiquitin-conjugated USP7cd structures demonstrate the canonical cysteine protease active-site geometry; however, the structural features of the USP7cd that stabilize the inactive conformation and the mechanism of transition between inactive and active states remain unclear. Here we use comparative structural analyses, molecular dynamics simulations, and in silico sequence re-engineering via directed sampling by RosettaDesign to identify key molecular determinants of USP7cd activation and successfully engineer USP7cd for improved activity. Full kinetic analysis and multiple X-ray crystal structures of our designs indicate that electrostatic interactions in the distal "switching loop" region and local packing in the hydrophobic core mediate subtle but significant conformational changes that modulate USP7cd activation.
