{{Orphan|date=February 2009}}Ubiquitin-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for a wide range of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), including ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) and ubiquitin specific proteases (USPs). It is a particularly useful reagent for the study of deubiquitinating activity where detection sensitivity or continuous monitoring of activity is essential.^[1]

Background

Ubiquitin-AMC is prepared by the C-terminal derivatization of ubiquitin with 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin and has been shown to be a useful and sensitive fluorogenic substrate for wide range of deubiquitinylating enzymes (DUBs), including ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) and ubiquitin specific proteases (USPs).

Ubiquitin-AMC has been shown to be a sensitive substrate for UCH-L3 (Km = 0.039µM) and for Isopeptidase-T (Km = 0.17-1.4µM),^[2] and is particularly useful for studying deubiquitinylating activity where detection sensitivity or continuous monitoring of activity is essential.^[3]

Typical assay set-up: Assay substrate concentration: 0.01-1.0µM. Enzyme concentrations, UCH-L3: 10-100pM, isopeptidase-T: 10-100nM. Release of AMC fluorescence by DUB enzymes can be monitored using 380 nm excitation and 460 nm emission wavelengths.

Uses

Substrate for deubiquitinylating enzyme activity assays.
Identification/confirmation of enzyme deubiquitinylation activity.
Investigation of deconjugating enzyme substrate specificity in comparison with alternative UBL-AMC substrates (e.g. NEDD8-AMC)
