Redox control of the deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp2 regulates translation during stress.

ABSTRACT: Protein ubiquitination is essential to govern cells' ability to cope with harmful environments by regulating many aspects of protein dynamics from synthesis to degradation. As important as the ubiquitination process, the reversal of ubiquitin chains mediated by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) is critical for proper recovery from stress and re-establishment of proteostasis. Although it is known that ribosomes are decorated with K63-linked polyubiquitin chains that control protein synthesis under stress, the mechanisms by which these ubiquitin chains are reversed and regulate proteostasis during stress recovery remain elusive. Here, we showed in budding yeast that the DUB Ubp2 is redox-regulated during oxidative stress in a reversible manner, which determines the levels of K63-linked polyubi
