BAP1/ASXL1 recruitment and activation for H2A deubiquitination
The tumor suppressor BAP1 is activated by ASXL1 to deubiquitinate mono-ubiquitinated H2A at K119 in Polycomb gene repression. Here, the authors show how BAP1’s C-terminal extension auto-recruits it to nucleosomes, where the DEUBAD domain of ASXL1 increases BAP1’s affinity for ubiquitin to drive deub...

Here, the authors show how BAP1’s C-terminal extension auto-recruits it to nucleosomes, where the DEUBAD domain of ASXL1 increases BAP1’s affinity for ubiquitin to drive deubiquitination. |
