"Consistent with this hypothesis, the structures of USP2, USP8, and OTUB2 with Ub bound in the distal binding site reveal that the relevant serine residues (Ser57 for USP2, XREF_FIG K; Ser20 and 57 for USP8, XREF_FIG J and 6M; and Ser65 for OTUB2, XREF_FIG N) are solvent exposed in the distal binding sites (XREF_FIG H)."

"Recombinant full-length human USP5/ISOT (residues 1–835) was purified from bacteria, inhibited with a ubiquitin-based suicide substrate and crystallized at 20 °C. A 2.8 Å resolution dataset was collected yielding a structure after phases were obtained by molecular replacement (covalent ubiquitin-USP2 complex (PDB code 2IBI) and the USP5 ZnF-UBP domain (PDB code 2G43)) with good crystallographic statistics ( xref )."

"Yet, such an inhibition will only be observed if the concentration of free ubiquitin is in the same range as the K for the interaction between ubiquitin and the protease.The structure of the USP2/ubiquitin complex shows that ubiquitin uses two interaction sites: its core (residues 1–71) binds into the cupped hand interacting with fingers and palm, and its C terminus (residues 72–76) binds into the substrate cleft at the catalytic center."

"Despite the addition of the fluorophore AMC to the C-terminus of ubiquitin, the binding kinetics of Ub-AMC to an inactive USP2 is similar to that of the native ubiquitin binding to the wild-type USP2 ( xref ), indicating that the AMC group does not disrupt the interaction of ubiquitin with the USP2 catalytic core."

"Modeling of ubiquitin into the central binding cavity by superposition of the USP2–ubiquitin complex structure (PDB entry( xref )) reveals that additional conformational changes in the finger region, including the zinc finger ribbon linking the two subdomains D1 and D2, are required to accommodate the distal ubiquitin core and avoid steric clashes ( xref D )."

"In the USP2/ubiquitin complex, Nζ of Lys407 occupies the same position as a solvent molecule in the USP7/ubiquitin-aldehyde complex.The principles of protein-protein interactions and the role of water molecules in molecular recognition have been studied by various groups (Janin, 1997, Jones and Thornton, 1996, Larsen et al., 1998)."
