"Mutations in BAP1-ULD , which occurs in several tumors, abolish the interaction with ASXL2 resulting in a missed stimulation on BAP1 activity."

sparser
"His- or GST-tagged full-length BAP1, BAP1-UCH and BAP1-ULD domains were expressed in bacteria (Bac-) or baculovirus (Bv-), respectively ( xref )."

sparser
"Biophysical and biochemical characterization of BAP1-UCH, BAP1-ULD, ASXL2-AB, and the UCH/ULD/AB complex."

sparser
"Therefore, we initiated biochemical and biophysical analyses of the BAP1-UCH, BAP1-ULD, ASXL2-AB domains and protein complex."

sparser
"The establishment of Ub-AMC assay and SPR for investigating protein-protein interactions would make it possible to validate small molecule hits in future screens for drug compounds that recover loss-of-function in cells with BAP1-ULD mutations/deletions ( xref )."

sparser
"We next tested the affinity and kinetics of BAP1-ULD and ASXL2-AB using SPR."

sparser
"Biochemical analyses of purified recombinant protein complexes from bacteria reveal a direct interaction between the BAP1-ULD domain and ASXL2-AB box."

sparser
"Furthermore, our biochemical work demonstrated that the ASXL2-AB box binds to the BAP1-ULD domain, but not to BAP1-UCH."

sparser
"Using computer molecular modeling of UCHL5 structures, we predicted that the BAP1-ULD domain folds back to the BAP1-UCH catalytic domain and that the ASXL2-AB box stabilizes the UCH catalytic loop via a unique BAP1 mechanism not seen in other UCH proteins, allowing for ubiquitin to fit into the active site ( xref , xref )."

sparser
"Instead, the BAP1 ULD domain binds to the AB box, which leads to the formation of a stable ternary complex consisting of the BAP1-UCH, BAP1-ULD and ASXL2-AB domains ( xref – xref )."

sparser
"The N-terminus of ASXL, which includes ASXH, binds the ULD domain of BAP1, allowing the UCH catalytic site to be brought in proximity to the target promoter."

sparser
"We have demonstrated that ASXL, via its AB box, acts as a molecular scaffold to recruit the BAP1-ULD domain to transcription factors that bind to specific target genes; the BAP1-UCH catalytic domain then removes ubiquitin from histones on chromatin to regulate the expression of these transcriptional targets ( xref )."

sparser
"Upon loss of binding of the ASXL-AB box to BAP1-ULD, BAP1 enzymatic activity is abolished, resulting in disturbances in BAP1-dependent chromatin state/gene expression that contribute to the pathogenesis of human malignancy and other diseases."

sparser
"These data are consistent with our previous studies that used computer modeling technology to predict the molecular model of BAP1-ULD interacting with ASXL2-AB ( xref )."

sparser
"From our previous computer modeling studies, BAP1-ULD is predicted to form a few long helices, while ASXL-AB box is predicted to form five helices ( xref )."

sparser
"A stable ternary complex is formed, comprised of the BAP1-UCH, BAP1-ULD, and ASXL2-AB domains."
