Kozlov * State Research Institute for Genetics and Selection of Industrial Microorganisms, Kurchatov Institute National Research Center (GosNIIgenetika, Kurchatov Institute NRC), Moscow, 117545 Russia *e-mail: dg_kozlov@genetika.ru Received July 9, 2018; revised December 18, 2018; accepted March 15, 2019 Abstract—It is shown that, unlike eukaryotic ubiquitin-specific proteinases (deubiquitinating enzymes, DUBs), the E. coli deubiquitinase ElaD can process sites containing not only GlyGly but also GlyAla with equal eff iciency. At the same time, the bacterial enzyme, like eukaryotic DUBs, fails to process sites contain- ing AlaGly, AlaAla, or GlyPro dipeptides. In light of the functional mission of the E. coli deubiquitinating agent, its decreased specificity can be considered a valuable evolutional acquisition that allows expansion of the list of molecular targets attacked during pathogenesis. Keywords: ubiquitin, DUB, E. coli
