"Interestingly, UAF1 and WDR48 can fully activate the DUB activity of USP1, which regulates the Fanconi anemia DNA repair pathway [XREF_BIBR], but only weakly stimulates the catalytic activity of USP46 and USP12 [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR], whereas full activation of USP12 requires ternary complex formation with both UAF-1 and WDR48 and WDR20 [XREF_BIBR]."
"In vitro reconstitution of USP1 deubiquitinating enzyme activity, using either ubiquitin-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin (Ub-AMC) or purified monoubiquitinated FANCD2 protein as substrates, demonstrates that UAF1 functions as an activator of USP1. UAF1 binding increases the catalytic turnover (kcat) but does not increase the affinity of the USP1 enzyme for the substrate (KM)."
