Background: USP21

USP21 is a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) of the C19 peptidase family.  Human USP21 has a predicted molecular weight of 63 kDa and is 96% identical to both mouse and rat orthologues. USP21 has been reported to deubiquitinate histone H2A, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression.  The transcription factor FOXM1 is also reported to be a substrate for USP21 both in vitro and in vivo, and FOXM1 stabilization by USP21 contributes to cell cycle progression in basal-like breast cancer (BLBC).  USP21 depletion sensitizes BLBC cell lines and mouse xenograft tumors to paclitaxel, a frontline therapy in BLBC treatment, suggesting USP21 inhibitors may be useful in cancer treatment.  This recombinant protein contains an N-terminal GST tag and amino acid residues Ser 196 to Leu 565.
