"Alanine at position 138, leucine at position 142 and histidine at position 251 residues within USP18 generate a hydrophobic pocket and with the aid of glutamine at position 139 and serine at position 192 residues, the three residues are involved in the formation of hydrophobic interactions with the hydrophobic patch of ISG15, suggesting that the preferential recognition and high specificity of USP18 toward ISG15 could be achieved by the hydrophobic interactions between USP18 and ISG15."
