Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 46 (USP46) is a specialized cysteine protease with a predicted molecular weight of 42 kDa. USP46 is a member of the peptidase C19 family and USP12/USP46 subfamily, and the human protein shares 100% amino acid sequence identity with its mouse ortholog. Like USP1 and USP12, USP46 lacks appreciable activity in the absence of its co-activator UAF1. Addition of UAF1 increases the in vitro activity of USP46 10-fold or more. Biologically, USP46 has been implicated in the regulation of Alpha-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionic acid receptors (AMPARs). USP46 is able to deubiquitinate AMPARs both in vivo and in vitro, and by regulating the status of AMPAR ubiquitination and turnover, this deubiquitinase may play an important role in synaptic plasticity and brain function. This recombinant protein contains a C-terminal 6-His tag.

Activity
Recombinant Human USP46 is a Ubiquitin-specific deconjugating enzyme. Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application. We recommend an initial USP46 concentration of 20-200 nM when using Ubiquitin-AMC or Ubiquitin-Rhodamine (U-550, U-555) as a substrate. Requires a 1:1 stoichiometric amount of UAF1 (E-566) for activity. In vitro, the USP46/UAF1 complex will not efficiently hydrolyze poly-Ubiquitin chains in the absence of WDR20.
