Fig. 2From: The emerging role of deubiquitinating enzymes in genomic integrity, diseases, and therapeuticsSpecificity of DUBs. The recognition and cleavage of ubiquitin chains requires multiple layers of specificity, including the distinguish of ubiquitin from ubiquitin-like molecules, the ubiquitin linkage preference, the position of cleavage site and the recognition of targeted proteins with or without the assistance of adaptors or scaffoldsBack to article page
