| def | "Catalysis of the reaction: ubiquitin C-terminal thiolester + H2O = ubiquitin + a thiol. Hydrolysis of esters, including those formed between thiols such as dithiothreitol or glutathione and the C-terminal glycine residue of the polypeptide ubiquitin, and AMP-ubiquitin." [EC:3.1.2.15]

| comment | Note that this term is distinguished from 'ubiquitin-specific protease activity ; GO:0004843' in that it specifically refers to hydrolysis of thiolester bonds, but encompasses the removal of any substrate attached to ubiquitin via a thiolester bond.
