Organism: Drosophila melanogaster
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora
Also known as: CG12743; Dmel\CG12743; DROOTUA; fs(1)231; fs(1)23l; fs(1)jA265; fs(1)M101; fs(1)otu; K; Otu; OTU
Summary: Enables deubiquitinase activity; mRNA binding activity; and serine-type peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including germarium-derived egg chamber formation; negative regulation of peptidoglycan recognition protein signaling pathway; and positive regulation of DNA endoreduplication. Located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including egg chamber; germarium; germarium region 1; germline cell; and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 36. Orthologous to several human genes including OTUD4 (OTU deubiquitinase 4).

Otu and Rif1 Double Mutant Enables Analysis of Satellite DNA in Polytene Chromosomes of Ovarian Germ Cells in Drosophila melanogaster.
Title: Otu and Rif1 Double Mutant Enables Analysis of Satellite DNA in Polytene Chromosomes of Ovarian Germ Cells in Drosophila melanogaster.
oalescence-mediated enzymatic activity of Otu is positively regulated by its bound RNAs and co-partner Bam. Further genetic analysis reveals that the Otu/Bam deubiquitinase complex and dTraf6 constitute a feedback loop to maintain intestinal immune homeostasis during aging, thereby controlling longevity.
Title: LC Domain-Mediated Coalescence Is Essential for Otu Enzymatic Activity to Extend Drosophila Lifespan.
There is an evolutionary loss of activity in de-ubiquitylating enzymes of the OTU family, OTUD4, otu, and CG3251.
