Deubiquitinases (DUBs) remove ubiquitin modifications from proteins in a substrate- or linkage-selective manner and regulate numerous cell-biological processes, including endocytosis. By performing homology-agnostic bioinformatical screens for undescribed deubiquitinase classes, we identified the plant-specific DUC (deubiquitinase with C2) family, whose members are highly selective for cleaving K63-linked ubiquitin chains. The crystal structure of the Arabidopsis member AtDUC1 reveals that DUC enzymes display a papain-like fold with a characteristic DUB-like active site, despite the apparent absence of sequence similarity to other deubiquitinase families. The K63 linkage specificity is attributed to the recognition of both distal and proximal ubiquitin units via highly conserved contact residues. Arabidopsis DUC members localize to the plasma membrane by virtue of their lipid-binding C2-like domains. In protoplast experiments, all three Arabidopsis DUC enzymes demonstrate the capacity to stabilize an endocytotic model cargo at the plasma membrane, a process that requires both the C2-mediated membrane association and catalytic DUB activity.
