High yield expression of catalytically active USP18 (UBP43) using a Trigger Factor fusion system

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Covalent linkage of the ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 interferes with viral infection and USP18 is the major protease which specifically removes ISG15 from target proteins. Thus, boosting ISG15 modification by protease inhibition of U...
