Residues present in the catalytic site of DUBs are often in a '''non-functional orientation''' when the substrate is absent. Thus, when the substrate binds to the catalytic site of the enzyme, the site undergoes rearrangement and takes on a functional conformation. <ref>PMID:16537382</ref> The substrate opens and closes to allow the entry of the protein to be deubiquitinased. | Residues present in the catalytic site of DUBs are often in a '''non-functional orientation''' when the substrate is absent.

=== Impact of phosphorylation on DUB activity === | |||
Evidence shows that phosphorylation influences activity of the enzyme. Phosphorylated serine seems to have the most influence on the activity of the enzyme <scene name='86/868189/Ser177/1'>especially on Ser177</scene>. The phosphorylation of this nucleotide is crucial and the protein won't work if it's not. | |||
