InterPro domain: IPR040749

This is the C-terminal domain of BRCC36, a Zn2+ dependent deubiquitinating enzyme, present in Camponotus floridanus. BRCC36 hydrolyzes lysine linked ubiquitin chains as part of macromolecular complexes that participate in either interferon signalling or DNA-damage recognition. The domain consists of 2 non canonical helices. The domain interacts hydrophobically with helices alpha 4 and alpha 5 of KIAA0157 in the form of a coiled coil helical bundle. This interaction helps establish the association of BRCC36 with KIAA0157, a pseudo-DUB MPN- protein that is essential for the activity of BRCC36 [ 1 ].
