“…Of the deubiquitinases studied to date, ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7), also known as herpes virus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease (HAUSP), as it was originally identified as a herpes simplex virus type 1 Vmw110-interacting protein (19), is reported to stabilize a number of proteins thus involved in multiple cellular processes, including immune responses (20), viral replication/infection (21), mitosis progression (22), and DNA repair (23,24). It is also found that USP7 forms a protein complex with guanosine 5′-monophosphate synthetase to catalyze the removal of H2B lysine 120 (H2BK120)…”
