Function Deubiquitinates histone H2A, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, thereby acting as a coactivator (By similarity). Deubiquitination of histone H2A releaves the repression of di- and trimethylation of histone H3 at 'Lys-4', resulting in regulation of transcriptional initiation (By similarity). Regulates gene expression via histone H2A deubiquitination (By similarity). Deubiquitinates BAZ2A/TIP5 leading to its stabilization (PubMed:26100909). Also capable of removing NEDD8 from NEDD8 conjugates but has no effect on Sentrin-1 conjugates (PubMed:10799498). Also acts as a negative regulator of the ribosome quality control (RQC) by mediating deubiquitination of 40S ribosomal proteins RPS10/eS10 and RPS20/uS10, thereby antagonizing ZNF598-mediated 40S ubiquitination (PubMed:32011234). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QZL6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10799498, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26100909, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32011234}.
