Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the large ubiquitin specific protease (Usp) family of proteins. These proteins are known to cleave ubiquitin, and contain a conserved cysteine residue (Cys box) and two conserved histidine residues (His box) that are thought to form part of the active site of the protease. This protein has been shown to cleave both the ubiquitin-proline and the ubiquitin-methionine bonds in vitro. This protein is thought to regulate many cellular processes through its deubiquitination activity, including the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) pathway. Cardiac-specific overexpression of the human ortholog of this gene in mice causes enlargement of the heart that is more pronounced in the atrium than in the ventricle. This gene has two pseudogenes on chromosome 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode multiple protein isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

Study reports that USP15 affects cancer cell response to PARP inhibitors by regulating homologous recombination repair. USP15 is recruited to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by MDC1. USP15 deubiquitinates BARD1 BRCT domain, and promotes BARD1-HP1gamma interaction, resulting in BRCA1/BARD1 retention at DSBs. Cancer-associated USP15 mutations, with decreased USP15-BARD1 interaction, increases PARP inhibitor sensitivity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
