Remarkably, despite having no such system of their own, viruses and bacteria have evolved strategies to manipulate ubiquitin signaling of the host cell to support infection. A common strategy to both pathogens is the adaptation of specialized proteases, termed deubiquitinases, that can remove host ubiquitin signals. Though the current body of work suggests that the removal of host ubiquitin signals is a common strategy for virulence, the identification of novel deubiquitinases has been impeded by significant differences in primary sequences that likely indicate an evolutionary convergence in function. Since development of deubiquitinases typically derive from structural mimicry, this allows for diversity in the primary sequences that may make motif searching for deubiquitinases difficult. 000008592 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008592 650__ $$aMachine Learning$$011449 000008592 650__ $$aUbiquitin$$033233 000008592 650__ $$aOvarian Neoplasms$$023386 000008592 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008592 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000008592 7001_ $$aNguyen, Justine$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008592 8564_ $$9f889b341-6e5e-48cb-b612-4cf6a6a2e945$$s2141654$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8592/files/Nguyen.Justine.2020.pdf 000008592 905__ $$a/rest/prod/tq/57/nr/75/tq57nr75n 000008592 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8592$$pstudent-work 000008592 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
