ubiquitin-specific protease 16
NCBI Summary
Encodes a ubiquitin-specific protease. There is no evidence for a phenotype in ubp16-1 mutants, however, double mutant analysis with ubp15 mutants reveals a role for UBP16 in plant development and cell proliferation.

UniProt Comments
Recognizes and hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin. Involved in the processing of poly-ubiquitin precursors as well as that of ubiquitinated proteins. Involved in salt tolerance by modulating sodium transport activity and repressing cell death at least partially through modulating SHM1 stability and activity (PubMed:23232097). Involved in cadmium tolerance by interacting with HIPP27 and probably modulating its stability (PubMed:23857362).
