== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/UBP7_HUMAN UBP7_HUMAN] Hydrolase that deubiquitinates target proteins such as FOXO4, p53/TP53, MDM2, ERCC6, DNMT1, UHRF1, PTEN and DAXX. Together with DAXX, prevents MDM2 self-ubiquitination and enhances the E3 ligase activity of MDM2 towards p53/TP53, thereby promoting p53/TP53 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Deubiquitinates p53/TP53 and MDM2 and strongly stabilizes p53/TP53 even in the presence of excess MDM2, and also induces p53/TP53-dependent cell growth repression and apoptosis. Deubiquitination of FOXO4 in presence of hydrogen peroxide is not dependent on p53/TP53 and inhibits FOXO4-induced transcriptional activity. In association with DAXX, is involved in the deubiquitination and translocation of PTEN from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, both processes that are counteracted by PML. Involved in cell proliferation during early embryonic development. Involved in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) in response to UV damage: recruited to DNA damage sites following interaction with KIAA1530/UVSSA and promotes deubiquitination of ERCC6, preventing UV-induced degradation of ERCC6. Contributes to the overall stabilization and trans-activation capability of the herpesvirus 1 trans-acting transcriptional protein ICP0/VMW110 during HSV-1 infection. Involved in maintenance of DNA methylation via its interaction with UHRF1 and DNMT1: acts by mediating deubiquitination of UHRF1 and DNMT1, preventing their degradation and promoting DNA methylation by DNMT1. Exhibits a preference towards 'Lys-48'-linked Ubiquitin chains.<ref>PMID:11923872</ref> <ref>PMID:14506283</ref> <ref>PMID:15053880</ref> <ref>PMID:16160161</ref> <ref>PMID:16964248</ref> <ref>PMID:18716620</ref> <ref>PMID:18590780</ref> <ref>PMID:20153724</ref> <ref>PMID:21745816</ref> <ref>PMID:22411829</ref> <ref>PMID:22689415</ref> <ref>PMID:22466611</ref> <ref>PMID:22466612</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Inhibition of ubiquitin-specific protease 7, USP7, has been proposed as a mechanism to affect many disease processes, primarily those implicated in oncology. The bound crystal structure of a published high-throughput screening hit with low-micromolar affinity for USP7 identified three regions of the compound for structure-guided optimization. Replacing one side of the compound with different aromatic moieties gave little improvement in affinity, and the central piperidine could not be improved. However, the binding site for the other side of the compound was poorly defined in the crystal structure, which suggested a wide variety of synthetically accessible options for optimization. These were assessed by screening reaction mixtures that introduced different substituents to this other side. Subsequent optimization led to a compound with low-nanomolar affinity for USP7, which showed target engagement in tumors, was tolerated in mice, and showed efficacy in xenograft models.
