General description

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1 (UniProt: P09936; also known as EC: 3.4.19.12, UCH-L1, Neuron cytoplasmic protein 9.5, PGP 9.5, PGP9.5, Ubiquitin thioesterase L1) is encoded by the UCHL1 gene (Gene ID: 7345) in human. UCH-L1 is a member of the peptidase C12 family that can exist as a monomer or homodimer. It is expressed in neurons and cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system and their tumors and is detected in neuronal cell bodies and processes throughout the neocortex. It displays a weak expression in ovary. About 30% of total UCH-L1 is reported to be associated with membranes in brain. Its levels are shown to be down-regulated in brains from Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease patients. UCH-L1 is a thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin and is involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins. It also binds to free monoubiquitin and may prevent its degradation in lysosomes. The homodimeric form may have ATP-independent ubiquitin ligase activity. Mutations in UCHL1 gene are known to cause Parkinson disease 5, a complex neurodegenerative disorder with manifestations ranging from typical Parkinson disease to dementia with Lewy bodies. Some mutations in this gene are also linked to spastic paraplegia 79, where patients display a form of spastic paraplegia, which is characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs.
