Catalytic domains of USPs can be visualised as the fingers palm and thumb of a hand. Ubiquitin fits into the hand with its C-terminus poking through between the thumb and palm. DUBs often contain a catalytic domain surrounded by one or more accessory domains, some of which contribute to target recognition.
