1. Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) are implicated in the proteolytic processing of polymeric ubiquitin. We have isolated a novel mouse gene for ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L4. The gene named Uchl4 encodes a novel member of the family of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) whose predicted amino acid sequence shows 95% identity to mouse UCH-L3 and 94% identity to human UCH-L3. Genomic structure, chromosome localization, and expression pattern of Uchl3 and Uchl4 were characterized in the mouse. Both Uchl3 and Uchl4 were expressed in various tissues examined; however, expression level was quite lower in Uchl4. While Uchl3 consists of at least 9 exons spanning about 12 kb, Uchl4 was an intronless gene with a size of about 2 kb. By PCR-based analysis with T31 radiation hybrid mapping panel, Uchl3 and Uchl4 were mapped on mouse chromosome 9 and 14, respectively. PMID: [11341770] 

2. A system which consisted of multidimensional liquid chromatography (Yin-yang MDLC) coupled with mass spectrometry was used for the identification of peptides and phosphopeptides. The multidimensional liquid chromatography combines the strong-cation exchange (SCX), strong-anion exchange (SAX), and reverse-phase methods for the separation. Protein digests were first loaded on an SCX column. The flow-through peptides from SCX were collected and further loaded on an SAX column. Both columns were eluted by offline pH steps, and the collected fractions were identified by reverse-phase liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Comprehensive peptide identification was achieved by the Yin-yang MDLC-MS/MS for a 1 mg mouse liver. In total, 14 105 unique peptides were identified with high confidence, including 13 256 unmodified peptides and 849 phosphopeptides with 809 phosphorylated sites. The SCX and SAX in the Yin-Yang system displayed complementary features of binding and separation for peptides. When coupled with reverse-phase liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, the SAX-based method can detect more extremely acidic (pI < 4.0) and phosphorylated peptides, while the SCX-based method detects more relatively basic peptides (pI > 4.0). In total, 134 groups of phosphorylated peptide isoforms were obtained, with common peptide sequences but different phosphorylated states. This unbiased profiling of protein expression and phosphorylation provides a powerful approach to probe protein dynamics, without using any prefractionation and chemical derivation.

Function
Ubiquitin-protein hydrolase is involved both in theprocessing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins.This enzyme is a thiol protease that recognizes and hydrolyzes apeptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin.
