Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We have recently identified a tandem repetitive DNA sequence that we designated the RS447 megasatellite. In this study, we describe a functional novel deubiquitinating enzyme (USP17, 60 kDa) gene that is intronless and encoded by the RS447 repeating unit. Northern blot analysis in conjunction with 5′ and 3′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends confirmed the presence of poly(A) + containing RS447 RNA in normal cells. We also identified a functional promoter sequence as well as an open reading frame within every RS447 repeat. When USP17 was expressed in Escherichia coli, it exhibited deubiquitinating activity in vivo. An antibody against USP17 detected USP17 protein in human cells. Our results indicate that the RS447 repeating unit on this megasatellite repeat codes for and actively expresses a functional deubiquitinating enzyme. Although it is expressed ubiquitously in human tissues, USP17 exhibited a unique expression pattern in that its complementary strand is transcribed as an antisense transcript that may modulate the level of USP17 expression in the human brain.
