Usp1

This gene encodes a member of the ubiquitin-specific peptidase family. The encoded protein acts as a catalytic subunit in a heterodimeric deubiquitinating enzyme complex that deubiquitinates Fanconi anemia, complementation group D2, and plays a role in homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair. Disruption of this gene is associated with a Fanconi anemia-like phenotype and genomic instability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene have been defined on chromosomes 3, 12, and 15. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Usp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
