Exact synonym

small conjugating protein-specific isopeptidase activity, small conjugating protein-specific protease activity, ubiquitin-like hydrolase activity, ubiquitin-like protein-specific isopeptidase activity, ubiquitin-like protein-specific protease activity, ubiquitinyl-like hydrolase activity

Description

An isopeptidase activity that cleaves ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins (ULP; e.g. ATG8, ISG15, NEDD8, SUMO) from target proteins.

Comment

While ubiquitin-like proteins can be rarely linked to substrates via bonds other than isopeptide bonds, all known ubiquitin-like peptidases cleave the isopeptide bond.
