OTU (ovarian tumor) domain family; The OTU family of cysteine proteases use a conserved cysteine and histidine, and in most cases an aspartate, as the catalytic triad. OTU domains typically function as deubiquitinases (DUBs)/ubiquitin thiolesterases (EC 3.4.19.12) that catalyze the thiol-dependent hydrolysis of ester, thioester, amide, peptide and isopeptide bonds formed by the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin, a small regulatory protein that can be conjugated to a large range of target proteins. Protein ubiquitination is a post-translational modification of mostly Lys residues that regulates many cellular processes, including protein degradation, intracellular trafficking, cell signaling, autophagy, transcription, translation, and the DNA damage response. These DUBs may play important regulatory roles at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation.

OTU (ovarian tumor) domain of OTU domain-containing protein 3 and similar proteins; OTU domain-containing protein 3 (OTUD3) is a deubiquitinase (DUB)/ubiquitin thioesterase (EC 3.4.19.12) that hydrolyzes 'Lys-6'- and 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin. It is an acetylation-dependent deubiquitinase that restricts innate antiviral immune signaling. It directly hydrolyzes lysine 63 (Lys63)-linked polyubiquitination of MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein) and shuts off innate antiviral immune response. OTUD3 can elicit tumor-suppressing or tumor-promoting activities in a cell- and tissue-dependent manner. It is a DUB for PTEN (phosphatase and tension homologue deleted on chromosome 10); the OTUD3-PTEN signaling axis plays a critical role in suppression of breast tumorigenesis. OTUD3 is also a DUB for glucose-regulated protein GRP78, stabilizing it and promoting lung tumorigenesis. It belongs to the OTU family of cysteine proteases that use a conserved cysteine, histidine, and an aspartate, as the catalytic triad.

OTU (ovarian tumor) domain of Arabidopsis thaliana deubiquitinating enzyme OTU7 and similar proteins; Arabidopsis thaliana deubiquitinating enzyme OTU7, also called OTU domain-containing protein 7, is a deubiquitinase (DUB)/ubiquitin thioesterase (EC 3.4.19.12) that shows a preference for 'Lys-63' over 'Lys-48' over 'Met-1'-linked ubiquitin (UB) tetramers as substrates. DUBs catalyze the thiol-dependent hydrolysis of ester, thioester, amide, peptide and isopeptide bonds formed by the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin, a small regulatory protein that can be conjugated to a large range of target proteins. Protein ubiquitination is a post-translational modification of mostly Lys residues that regulates many cellular processes, including protein degradation, intracellular trafficking, cell signaling, autophagy, transcription, translation, and the DNA damage response.

OTU7 belongs to the OTU family of cysteine proteases that use a conserved cysteine, histidine, and an aspartate, as the catalytic triad.
