Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) are a family of cysteine hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of amides, esters and thioesters of the C-terminus of ubiquitin. Mammalian neuronal cells abundantly express a deubiquitylating enzyme, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCH-L1). Mutations in UCH-L1 are linked to Parkinson’s disease as well as gracile axonal dystrophy (gad) in mice. In contrast to the universally expressed UCH-L3 isozyme, UCH-L1 is expressed exclusively in neurons and testis/ovary. It has been shown that UCH-L1 associates and co-localizes with monoubiquitin and elongates ubiquitin half-life and the suggestion is made that UCH-L1, with avidity and affinity for ubiquitin, ensures ubiquitin stability within neurons.
