"Highlights d Free USP12 deubiquitinase is inactive and has several flexible structural elements d UAF1 and WDR20 can both activate USP12 without increasing its substrate affinity d UAF1 and WDR20 bind USP12 at two distinct sites away from its catalytic center d Two distinct allosteric mechanisms underlie USP12 activation by UAF1 and WDR20
Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) constitute the largest family of deubiquitinating enzymes, whose catalytic competency is often modulated by their binding partners through unknown mechanisms."

"Structural Comparisons of Activator-Bound USP12 and Ub-Conjugated USP46(A) Superposition of UAF1-bound USP12 and UAF1-WDR20-bound USP12 highlighting stabilization of BL1 and BL3 in the ternary complex.(B and C) A comparison between the UAF1-WDR20-bound USP12 and the Ub-conjugated USP46 structures, focusing on the stabilized PK Loop, the regularized PK Helix, and the F219 residue at the Fingers-Palm domain junction. (D) A close-up view of BL1 and the catalytic cleft of USP12 in complex with UAF1 and WDR20."

"While the Pinky Finger of USP12 in the UAF1-USP12-WDR20 complex adopts the same b strand conformation as seen in the UAF1-USP12 complex, F219 on the PK Helix becomes embedded in the pocket formed between the Fingers and the Palm domains, instead of being tucked underneath the Fingers domain ( Figures 3D, 5B , and 5C)."

"Highlights : Androgen receptor is a key transcriptional regulator in prostate cancer Usp12, Uaf-1, and WDR20 complex plays a crucial role in androgen receptor stability and activity Destabilising an individual Usp12, Uaf-1, and WDR20 complex member reduces the protein levels of the whole complex and diminishes androgen receptor activity Protein levels of all members of the Usp12, Uaf-1, and WDR20 complex are significantly increased in PC INTRODUCTION."

"Olazabal-Herrero et al (88) revealed that WDR20 facilitates shuttling of the USP12/UAF1/WDR20 complex between the plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus via the CRM1 pathway, which requires the N-terminal motif of USP12 and the novel NES of WDR20.Nucleolin is a eukaryotic nucleolar phosphoprotein in dense fibrillar regions of the nucleolus, which promotes the synthesis and maturation of ribosomes (7); it also acts as a transcriptional coactivator with chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor II and as a membrane receptor for the respiratory syncytial virus (89)."

"While the Pinky Finger of USP12 in the UAF1, USP12, and WDR20 complex adopts the same beta-strand conformation as seen in the UAF1 and USP12 complex, F219 on the PK Helix becomes embedded in its pocket formed between the Fingers and Palm domains, instead of being tucked underneath the Fingers domain (XREF_FIG, XREF_FIG, XREF_FIG)."
