"The isopeptidase‐independent mechanism of action proposed so far for USP13 relies on its UBA domains, which bind to ubiquitinated substrates, possibly inducing structural changes that stabilize them. xref Coincidentally, K63‐linked ubiquitin chains are required for EGFR sorting and degradation. xref This type of chains has also been reported as the preferred substrates for the USP13 UBA domains. xref We found that the UBA domains of USP13 were required for the binding to and stabilizing EGFR, as mutated UBA domains in USP13 resulted in a loss of USP13‐EGFR interaction and of EGFR stabilization."
