We characterized the novel ubiquitin-specific protease UspA of the mold Aspergillus nidulans, which corresponds to CSN-associated human Usp15 and interacts with six CSN subunits.

UspA accelerates asexual conidiospore formation and sexual development in Aspergillus nidulans.
UspA reduces the amount of ubiquitinated proteins during fungal development.
UspA supports repression of derivative of benzaldehyde secondary metabolite gene clusters.
An intact COP9 signalosome represses uspA gene expression.
Interplay between COP9 signalosome deneddylase, UspA deubiquitinase, and SCF-Fbx23 ensures accurate VeA levels that support fungal development and appropriate secondary metabolism.
UspA interacts with six COP9 signalosome subunits in Aspergillus nidulans.
UspA reduces VeA protein levels.
UspA localizes near nuclei and recruits proteins related to nuclear transport and transcriptional processing, suggesting a role in nuclear entry control.
