Can efficiently cleave only ISG15 fusions including native ISG15 conjugates linked via isopeptide bonds. Necessary to maintain a critical cellular balance of ISG15-conjugated proteins in both healthy and stressed organisms. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27325888}. |UCH| |regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway| |thiol-dependent ubiquitinyl hydrolase activity| |cysteine-type endopeptidase activity| |thiol-dependent ubiquitin-specific protease activity| |regulation of cytokine-mediated signaling pathway| |regulation of response to cytokine stimulus| |protein deubiquitination| |regulation of protein stability| |protein modification by small protein removal| |regulation of inflammatory response| |regulation of innate immune response| |regulation of response to biotic stimulus| |ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process| |modification-dependent protein catabolic process| |modification-dependent macromolecule catabolic process| |proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process| |cellular protein catabolic process| |protein catabolic process| |regulation of defense response| |regulation of multi-organism process| |cellular macromolecule catabolic process| |protein modification by small protein conjugation or removal| |macromolecule catabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |regulation of response to external stimulus| |regulation of immune response| |proteolysis| |regulation of response to stress| |regulation of immune system process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
