ISG15 leads to the deubiquitination of USP18. 2 / 2
| 2

reach
"The non-covalent interactions of ISG15 and USP18 prevent the ubiquitination of USP18 by S-phase kinase-associated protein two and stabilize the downregulation of the IFN signaling pathway by USP18 (Tokarz et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2015)."

reach
"The coexpression of either wild-type ISG15 or ISG15 (DeltaGG) with USP18 and ubiquitin resulted in markedly lower levels of USP18 ubiquitination (XREF_FIG, lanes 9-11 and XREF_FIG) and larger total amounts of USP18.Overall, these data indicate that free intracellular ISG15 antagonizes USP18 ubiquitination and degradation, thereby promoting the stability and function of this protein."
