We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.
Amos Bairoch

Name Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (UCH) catalytic domain
Function Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) are deubiquitinating enzymes which hydrolyze C-terminal esters and amides of ubiquitin. They have a catalytic core domain consisting of about 230 amino acids.
Scope(s) Eukaryota
Example(s) Q6SEG5;
