Description

UbiQ-193 is an activity-based probe for deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) based on ubiquitin with a C-terminal electrophilic vinyl pentynyl sulfone (VPS) group. UbiQ-193 contains an N-terminal HA-tag (YPYDVPDYA), which is a peptide sequence derived from the influenza hemagglutinin protein and allows for the sensitive identification or purification by anti-HA antibodies and/or anti-HA-agarose. The HA tag is separated from the Ub N-terminus by two aminohexanoic acid (Ahx) linkers for efficient recognition of the tag. To eliminate Met1 oxidation, Met1 is replaced by norleucine, a well validated Met mimic. UbiQ-193 can be used for proteomics, activity profiling experiments and determining DUB inhibitor specificity. The VPS electrophile allows for post-labeling modification of covalent DUB::UbiQ-193 complexes by using click chemistry with for example biotin-azide.
