Re-entering the translocon from the lumenal side of the endoplasmic reticulum. Studies on mutated carboxypeptidase yscY species. (1/7628)

Misfolded or unassembled secretory proteins are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and subsequently degraded by the cytosolic ubiquitin-proteasome system. This requires their retrograde transport from the ER lumen into the cytosol, which is mediated by the Sec61 translocon. It had remained a mystery whether ER-localised soluble proteins are at all capable of re-entering the Sec61 channel de novo or whether a permanent contact of the imported protein with the translocon is a prerequisite for retrograde transport. In this study we analysed two new variants of the mutated yeast carboxypeptidase yscY, CPY*: a carboxy-terminal fusion protein of CPY* and pig liver esterase and a CPY* species carrying an additional glycosylation site at its carboxy-terminus. With these constructs it can be demonstrated that the newly synthesised CPY* chain is not retained in the translocation channel but reaches its ER lumenal side completely. Our data indicate that the Sec61 channel provides the essential pore for protein transport through the ER membrane in either direction; persistent contact with the translocon after import seems not to be required for retrograde transport.  (+info)

Oligosaccharide modification in the early secretory pathway directs the selection of a misfolded glycoprotein for degradation by the proteasome. (2/7628)

The role of conformation-based quality control in the early secretory pathway is to eliminate misfolded polypeptides and unassembled multimeric protein complexes from the endoplasmic reticulum, ensuring the deployment of only functional molecules to distal sites. The intracellular fate of terminally misfolded human alpha1-antitrypsin was examined in hepatoma cells to identify the functional role of asparagine-linked oligosaccharide modification in the selection of glycoproteins for degradation by the cytosolic proteasome. Proteasomal degradation required physical interaction with the molecular chaperone calnexin. Altered sedimentation of intracellular complexes following treatment with the specific proteasome inhibitor lactacystin, and in combination with mannosidase inhibition, revealed that the removal of mannose from attached oligosaccharides abrogates the release of misfolded alpha1-antitrypsin from calnexin prior to proteasomal degradation. Intracellular turnover was arrested with kifunensine, implicating the participation of endoplasmic reticulum mannosidase I in the disposal process. Accelerated degradation occurred in a mannosidase-independent manner and was arrested by lactacystin, in response to the posttranslational inhibition of glucosidase II, demonstrating that the attenuated removal of glucose from attached oligosaccharides functions as the underlying rate-limiting step in the proteasome-mediated pathway. A model is proposed in which the removal of mannose from multiple attached oligosaccharides directs calnexin in the selection of misfolded alpha1-antitrypsin for degradation by the proteasome.  (+info)

Possible involvement of proteasomes (prosomes) in AUUUA-mediated mRNA decay. (3/7628)

We have identified a cellular target for proteasomal endonuclease activity. Thus, 20 S proteasomes interact with the 3'-untranslated region of certain cytoplasmic mRNAs in vivo, and 20 S proteasomes isolated from Friend leukemia virus-infected mouse spleen cells were found to be associated with a mRNA fragment showing great homology to the 3'-untranslated region of tumor necrosis factor-beta mRNA that contains AUUUA sequences. We furthermore demonstrate that 20 S proteasomes destabilize oligoribonucleotides corresponding to the 3'-untranslated region of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, creating a specific cleavage pattern. The cleavage reaction is accelerated with increasing number of AUUUA motifs, and major cleavage sites are localized at the 5' side of the A residues. These results strongly suggest that 20 S proteasomes could be involved in the destabilization of cytokine mRNAs such as tumor necrosis factor mRNAs and other short-lived mRNAs containing AUUUA sequences.  (+info)

Mechanisms for generating the autonomous cAMP-dependent protein kinase required for long-term facilitation in Aplysia. (4/7628)

The formation of a persistently active cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is critical for establishing long-term synaptic facilitation (LTF) in Aplysia. The injection of bovine catalytic (C) subunits into sensory neurons is sufficient to produce protein synthesis-dependent LTF. Early in the LTF induced by serotonin (5-HT), an autonomous PKA is generated through the ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated proteolysis of regulatory (R) subunits. The degradation of R occurs during an early time window and appears to be a key function of proteasomes in LTF. Lactacystin, a specific proteasome inhibitor, blocks the facilitation induced by 5-HT, and this block is rescued by injecting C subunits. R is degraded through an allosteric mechanism requiring an elevation of cAMP coincident with the induction of a ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase.  (+info)

Constitutive degradation of PML/RARalpha through the proteasome pathway mediates retinoic acid resistance. (5/7628)

PML/RARalpha is the leukemogenetic protein of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Treatment with retinoic acid (RA) induces degradation of PML/RARalpha, differentiation of leukaemic blasts, and disease remission. However, RA resistance arises during RA treatment of APL patients. To investigate the phenomenon of RA resistance in APL, we generated RA-resistant sublines from APL-derived NB4 cells. The NB4.007/6 RA-resistant subline does not express the PML/RARalpha protein, although its mRNA is detectable at levels comparable to those of the parental cell line. In vitro degradation assays showed that the half-life of PML/RARalpha is less than 30 minutes in NB4.007/6 and longer than 3 hours in NB4. Treatment of NB4.007/6 cells with the proteasome inhibitors LLnL and lactacystin partially restored PML/RARalpha protein expression and resulted in a partial release of the RA-resistant phenotype. Similarly, forced expression of PML/RARalpha, but not RARalpha, into the NB4/007.6 cells restored sensitivity to RA treatment to levels comparable to those of the NB4 cells. These results indicate that constitutive degradation of PML/RARalpha protein may lead to RA resistance and that PML/RARalpha expression is crucial to convey RA sensitivity to APL cells.  (+info)

Regulation of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1alpha by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. (6/7628)

HIF-1alpha (hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha) is a basic-helix-loop-helix PAS (Per/Arnt/Sim) transcription factor that, under hypoxic conditions, dimerizes with a partner factor, the basic-helix-loop-helix/PAS protein Arnt, to recognize hypoxia-responsive elements of target genes. It has recently been demonstrated that HIF-1alpha protein but not mRNA levels are dramatically up-regulated in response to hypoxia. Here we show that inhibitors of 26 S proteasome activity produced a dramatic accumulation of endogenous as well as transfected HIF-1alpha protein under normoxic conditions, whereas the levels of Arnt protein were not affected. HIF-1alpha was polyubiquitinated in vivo under normoxic conditions, indicating rapid degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This degradation process appeared to target a region within the C terminus of HIF-1alpha. Importantly, HIF-1alpha ubiquitination was drastically decreased under hypoxic conditions. Up-regulation of HIF-1alpha protein by proteasome inhibitors did not result in transcriptional activation of reporter genes, indicating either the requirement of additional regulatory steps to induce functional activity of HIF-1alpha or the inability of polyubiquitinated forms of HIF-1alpha to mediate hypoxic signal transduction. In support of both these notions, we demonstrate that HIF-1alpha showed hypoxia-dependent translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and that this regulatory mechanism was severely impaired in the presence of proteasome inhibitors. Taken together, these data demonstrate that the mechanism of hypoxia-dependent activation of HIF-1alpha is a complex multistep process and that stabilization of HIF-1alpha protein levels is not sufficient to generate a functional form.  (+info)

Proteasome-dependent degradation of the human estrogen receptor. (7/7628)

In eukaryotic cells, the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is the major mechanism for the targeted degradation of proteins with short half-lives. The covalent attachment of ubiquitin to lysine residues of targeted proteins is a signal for the recognition and rapid degradation by the proteasome, a large multi-subunit protease. In this report, we demonstrate that the human estrogen receptor (ER) protein is rapidly degraded in mammalian cells in an estradiol-dependent manner. The treatment of mammalian cells with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 inhibits activity of the proteasome and blocks ER degradation, suggesting that ER protein is turned over through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In addition, we show that in vitro ER degradation depends on ubiquitin-activating E1 enzyme (UBA) and ubiquitin-conjugating E2 enzymes (UBCs), and the proteasome inhibitors MG132 and lactacystin block ER protein degradation in vitro. Furthermore, the UBA/UBCs and proteasome inhibitors promote the accumulation of higher molecular weight forms of ER. The UBA and UBCs, which promote ER degradation in vitro, have no significant effect on human progesterone receptor and human thyroid hormone receptor beta proteins.  (+info)

The conserved SOCS box motif in suppressors of cytokine signaling binds to elongins B and C and may couple bound proteins to proteasomal degradation. (8/7628)

The suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family of proteins act as intracellular inhibitors of several cytokine signal transduction pathways. Their expression is induced by cytokine activation of the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway and they act as a negative feedback loop by subsequently inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway either by direct interaction with activated JAKs or with the receptors. These interactions are mediated at least in part by the SH2 domain of SOCS proteins but these proteins also contain a highly conserved C-terminal homology domain termed the SOCS box. Here we show that the SOCS box mediates interactions with elongins B and C, which in turn may couple SOCS proteins and their substrates to the proteasomal protein degradation pathway. Analogous to the family of F-box-containing proteins, it appears that the SOCS proteins may act as adaptor molecules that target activated cell signaling proteins to the protein degradation pathway.  (+info)

This thesis investigates the levels and localisation of cytoskeletal proteins in mouse cortical neurons following 26S proteasome dysfunction (Psmc1fl/fl;CaMKIIα-Cre). This study provides new insights into the role of the UPS in maintain cytoskeletal proteins that may be important in neurodegenerative disease. We found an early increase in neurofilaments following 26S proteasome dysfunction; before obvious changes in microtubule stability. An increased free/polymerised tubulin ratio was evident at later stages indicative of microtubule instability in Psmc1fl/fl;CaMKIIα-Cre mice. In addition, we found decreased levels of microtubule proteins, microtubule-associated proteins and detyrosinated-tubulin; with increased tyrosinated-tubulin following 26S proteasome dysfunction. These changes are contrary to decreased STMN expression observed in Psmc1fl/fl;CaMKIIα-Cre mice. We suggest that decreasing STMN may be part of a negative feedback loop to stabilize MT following 26S proteasome dysfunction. ...

Recent studies have implicated the ubiquitin/26S proteasome proteolytic pathway in many environmental and developmental responses in higher plants (Callis and Vierstra, 2000). Here, we extend its importance to cytokinin regulation with the demonstration that an Arabidopsis mutation affecting the synthesis of the RPN12a subunit of the 26S proteasome alters development consistent with a reduction in cytokinin responses. Previous data implicated the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system in the response to hormones, auxins, jasmonate, and abscisic acid (Xie et al., 1998; Gray and Estelle, 2000; Lopez-Molina et al., 2001). Given the complexity of this pathway in plants (in Arabidopsis, it includes more than 1100 genes), it is likely that most if not all hormone responses in plants are regulated at some level by such proteolysis.. In agreement with data from other eukaryotes, RPN12a is a component of the Arabidopsis 26S proteasome. At present, its biochemical function is unknown. RPN12a does not have any ...
The 26S proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered structure composed of 2 complexes, a 20S core and a 19S regulator. The 20S core is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. The 19S regulator is composed of a base, which contains 6 ATPase subunits and 2 non-ATPase subunits, and a lid, which contains up to 10 non-ATPase subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway.

Rpt6-1 is a thermosensitive yeast mutant with a deletion of a gene encoding a regulatory subunit of the 26S proteasome, RPT6, which is able to grow at 25°C but not at 37°C. In this study, peptidase activities, activation profiles, and the subunit composition of the 20S proteasome purified from the rpt6-1 mutant was characterized. The 20S proteasome purified from rpt6-1 exhibited low levels of peptidase activities in the absence of activators, but nearly same activated activities in the presence of activators, suggesting a gating defect in the proteasome channel. Detailed analyses of the composition of the 20S proteasome through separation of all subunits by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by identification of each subunit using MALDI-TOF-MS revealed that two subunits, α1 and α7, differed from those of wild-type cells in both electrophoretic mobility and pI values. The changes in these two α-subunits were apparent at the permissive temperature, but disappeared during stress response at
The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered ring-shaped 20S core structure. The core structure is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. An essential function of a modified proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is the processing of class I MHC peptides. This gene encodes a member of the proteasome B-type family, also known as the T1B family, that is a 20S core beta subunit. This gene is located in the class II region of the MHC (major histocompatibility complex). Expression of this gene is induced by gamma interferon and this gene product replaces catalytic subunit 1 (proteasome beta 6 subunit) in the immunoproteasome. Proteolytic processing is required to generate a mature subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Mar ...
Proteostasis collapses during aging resulting, among other things, in the accumulation of damaged and aggregated proteins. The proteasome is the main cellular proteolytic system and plays a fundamental role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis. Our previous work has demonstrated that senescence and aging are related to a decline in proteasome content and activities, while its activation extends lifespan in vitro and in vivo in various species. However, the mechanisms underlying this age-related decline of proteasome function and the down-regulation in expression of its subunits remain largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the Forkhead box-O1 (FoxO1) transcription factor directly regulates the expression of a 20S proteasome catalytic subunit and, hence, proteasome activity. Specifically, we demonstrate that knockout of FoxO1, but not of FoxO3, in mice severely impairs proteasome activity in several tissues, while depletion of IRS1 enhances proteasome function. Importantly, we show that FoxO1

C.1 Purification and Proteomic Mapping of Murine Liver 19S Proteasome Complexes D. Wang, M.-C. Koag, C. Zong, X. Li, A. Gomes, and P. Ping Department of Physiology and Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA Proteasome complexes play an indispensable role in maintaining cell homeostasis. 19S proteasome complexes, also known as the regulatory particles, are critical components of the 26S proteasome system by governing substrates entry and tuning the catalytic activities of the 20S proteasomes. Multiple studies on proteasome functions reported accumulatively a total of 22 mammalian 19S subunits forming two sub-complexes, the base and the lid. Unfortunately, a comprehensive proteomic blueprint of mammalian 19S complexes remains scarce; which has made it difficult to advance our understanding of the dynamics of proteasome function and substrate specificity. A key limitation is the technology challenges encountered in order to obtain purified 19S proteasome ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - ATP Binding and ATP Hydrolysis Play Distinct Roles in the Function of 26S Proteasome. AU - Liu, Chang Wei. AU - Li, Xiaohua. AU - Thompson, David. AU - Wooding, Kerry. AU - Chang, Tsui ling. AU - Tang, Zhanyun. AU - Yu, Hongtao. AU - Thomas, Philip J.. AU - DeMartino, George N.. PY - 2006/10/6. Y1 - 2006/10/6. N2 - The 26S proteasome degrades polyubiquitinated proteins by an energy-dependent mechanism. Here we define multiple roles for ATP in 26S proteasome function. ATP binding is necessary and sufficient for assembly of 26S proteasome from 20S proteasome and PA700/19S subcomplexes and for proteasome activation. Proteasome assembly and activation may require distinct ATP binding events. The 26S proteasome degrades nonubiquitylated, unstructured proteins without ATP hydrolysis, indicating that substrate translocation per se does not require the energy of hydrolysis. Nonubiquitylated folded proteins and certain polyubiquitylated folded proteins were refractory to proteolysis. The ...
Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2 is implicated in a wide range of pathophysiological processes, including immunity and diabetes mellitus, but its rapid degradation remains uncharacterized. Using pharmacological proteasome inhibitors, immunoprecipitation, dominant negative ubiqbiquitiuitin mutants, cellular fractionation and siRNA techniques, we demonstrate the involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the rapid degradation of UCP2. Importantly, we resolve the issue of whether intramitochondrial proteins can be degraded by the cytosolic proteasome by reconstituting a cell-free system that shows rapid proteasome-inhibitor-sensitive UCP2 degradation in isolated, energised mitochondria presented with an ATP regenerating system, ubiquitin and 26S proteasome fractions. These observations provide the first demonstration that a mitochondrial inner membrane protein is degraded by the cytosolic ubiquitin-proteasome system. ...
Background: The proteasome system has a pivotal role in the control of the immune response, which suggests that it might be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders.Objective: To investigate the expression profile of selected proteasomal genes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with a variety of autoimmune diseases compared with healthy subjects.Methods: Real time quantitative RT-PCR was used to analyse the mRNA expression pattern of the proteasome activator subunits PA28\textgreeka and PA28\textgreekb and of constitutive proteasome and interferon-\textgreekg-inducible immunoproteasome subunits in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Simultaneously, protein expression of selected proteasome subunits was quantified by immunoblotting.Results: Under systemic inflammatory conditions the proteasome subunits LMP2 (\textgreekb1i), LMP7 (\textgreekb5i), MECL1 (\textgreekb2i), and PA28\textgreeka were expressed abundantly at the protein level in the vast majority of ...
Abstract: The 26S proteasome, which degrades ubiquitinated proteins, appears to contribute to the cyclical loading of androgen receptor (AR) to androgen response elements of target gene promoters; however, the mechanism whereby the 26S proteasome modulates AR recruitment remains unknown. Using yeast two-hybrid screening, we previously identified Tat-binding protein-1 (TBP-1), an adenosine triphosphatase of 19S regulatory particles of the 26S proteasome, as a transcriptional coactivator of thyroid hormone receptor. Independently, TBP-1-interacting protein (TBPIP) was also identified as a coactivator of several nuclear receptors, including AR. Here, we investigated whether TBP-1 could interact with and modulate transcriptional activation by AR cooperatively with TBPIP. TBP-1 mRNA was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, including the testis and prostate, as well as in LNCaP cells. TBP-1 directly bound TBPIP through the amino-terminal domain possessing the leucine zipper structure. AR is ...
The proteasome is a protein-destroying apparatus involved in many essential cellular functions, such as regulation of cell cycle, cell differentiation, signal transduction pathways, antigen processing for appropriate immune responses, stress signaling, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis. It is capable of degrading a variety of cellular proteins in a rapid and timely fashion and most substrate proteins are modified by ubiquitin before their degradation by the proteasome. The proteasome is a large protein complex consisting of a proteolytic core called the 20S particle and ancillary factors that regulate its activity in various ways. The most common form is the 26S proteasome containing one 20S core particle and two 19S regulatory particles that enable the proteasome to degrade ubiquitinated proteins by an ATP-dependent mechanism. Another form is the immunoproteasome containing two 11S regulatory particles, PA28 alpha and PA28 beta, which are induced by interferon gamma under the conditions of ...

The ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosome pathways are the two major routes of protein and organelle clearance. The role of the proteasome pathway in mammalian muscle has not been examined in vivo. In this study, we report that the muscle-specific deletion of a crucial proteasomal gene, Rpt3, resulted in profound muscle growth defects and a decrease in force production in mice. Specifically, developing muscles in conditional Rpt3-knockout animals showed dysregulated proteasomal activity. The autophagy pathway was upregulated, but the process of autophagosome formation was impaired. A microscopic analysis revealed the accumulation of basophilic inclusions and disorganization of the sarcomeres in young adult mice. Our results suggest that appropriate proteasomal activity is important for muscle growth and for maintaining myofiber integrity in collaboration with autophagy pathways. The deletion of a component of the proteasome complex contributed to myofiber degeneration and weakness in ...
Acts as a regulatory subunit of the 26 proteasome which is involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. Is not a genuine component of the 26S proteasome, but an auxiliary factor that interacts with the proteasomal ATPase of 19S regulatory particle (RP). Acts as a chaperone which regulates the highly structured assembly of the 19S regulatory particle. Involved in the substrate specificity of the 26S proteasome and is especially involved in the degradation of ubiquitinated GCN4. May contribute to the stability of the 26S proteasome in some stress conditions.
Description: The 26S proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered structure composed of 2 complexes, a 20S core and a 19S regulator. The 20S core is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits; 2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. The 19S regulator is composed of a base, which contains 6 ATPase subunits and 2 non-ATPase subunits, and a lid, which contains up to 10 non-ATPase subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. An essential function of a modified proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is the processing of class I MHC peptides. This gene encodes one of the ATPase subunits, a member of the triple-A family of ATPases which have a chaperone-like activity. In addition to participation in proteasome functions, this subunit may participate in transcriptional regulation since it has been ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Age-dependent inhibition of proteasome chymotrypsin-like activity in the retina. AU - Kapphahn, Rebecca J.. AU - Bigelow, Erin J.. AU - Ferrington, Deborah A.. PY - 2007/4/1. Y1 - 2007/4/1. N2 - The proteasome plays a fundamental role in processes essential for cell viability. A loss in proteasome function has been associated with aging, as well as a number of age-related diseases. Defining the mechanism(s) behind this loss in function will add important information regarding the molecular basis for aging. In the current study, we performed an age-based comparison of proteasome function and composition of subunits and regulatory proteins in the neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in Fischer 344 rats. In the RPE, there was no age-dependent difference in activity, subunit composition, or content of proteasome regulators, PA28 and PA700. In contrast, the aged neural retina demonstrated a significant reduction in the chymotrypsin-like activity and decreased degradation ...
The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex which is characterized by its ability to cleave peptides with Arg, Phe, Tyr, Leu, and Glu adjacent to the leaving group at neutral or slightly basic pH. The proteasome has an ATP-dependent proteolytic activity. Incorporated instead of PSMB5 or PSMB8, this unit reduces the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome. Plays a pivotal role in development of CD8-positive T-cells.
Protein breakdown by the ubiquitin‐proteasome system ensures cell survival and proliferation. The 20S proteasome core particle (CP) constitutes the heart of this non‐lysosomal protein degradation pathway. In mammals, three different CP types are known: the constitutive proteasome (cCP), the immunoproteasome (iCP), and the thymoproteasome (tCP) (Murata et al, 2007; Groettrup et al, 2010). All of them are built of seven different α‐ and seven different β‐subunits that are stacked in four heptameric rings around a central pore. Each type of CP incorporates a distinct set of catalytically active β1, β2 and β5 subunits (cCP: β1c, β2c and β5c; iCP: β1i, β2i and β5i; tCP: β1i, β2i and β5t) (Groll et al, 1997; Unno et al, 2002; Murata et al, 2007; Huber et al, 2012; Harshbarger et al, 2015). These subunits employ the same mechanism of peptide bond hydrolysis (Huber et al, 2012, 2016), but display different substrate specificities. Because of its pivotal biological role, the ...
Plants, like other eukaryotes, rely on proteolysis to control the abundance of key regulatory proteins and enzymes. Strikingly, genome-wide studies have revealed that the ubiquitin-26S proteasome system (UPS) in particular is an exceedingly large and complex route for protein removal, occupying near …

N2 - 26S proteasome, a major regulatory protease in eukaryotes, consists of a 20S proteolytic core particle (CP) capped by a 19S regulatory particle (RP). The 19S RP is divisible into base and lid sub-complexes. Even within the lid, subunits have been demarcated into two modules: module 1 (Rpn5, Rpn6, Rpn8, Rpn9 and Rpn11), which interacts with both CP and base sub-complexes and module 2 (Rpn3, Rpn7, Rpn12 and Rpn15) that is attached mainly to module 1. We now show that suppression of RPN11 expression halted lid assembly yet enabled the base and 20S CP to pre-assemble and form a base-CP. A key role for Regulatory particle non-ATPase 11 (Rpn11) in bridging lid ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Crude and purified proteasome activity assays are affected by type of microplate. AU - Cui, Ziyou. AU - Gilda, Jennifer E.. AU - Gomes, Aldrin V. PY - 2014. Y1 - 2014. N2 - Measurement of proteasome activity is fast becoming a commonly used assay in many laboratories. The most common method to measure proteasome activity involves measuring the release of fluorescent tags from peptide substrates in black microplates. Comparisons of black plates used for measuring fluorescence with different properties show that the microplate properties significantly affect the measured activities of the proteasome. The microplate that gave the highest reading of trypsin-like activity of the purified 20S proteasome gave the lowest reading of chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome. Plates with medium binding surfaces from two different companies showed an approximately 2-fold difference in caspase-like activity for purified 20S proteasomes. Even standard curves generated using free ...
Research in the field of ubiquitin proteasome is expanding exponentially. For instance, intensive research is going on in the field of applications of ubiquitin proteasome system in the treatment of cancer, as the pharmacological inhibition properties of proteasomes can be effective in cancer treatment. Potential sites of therapeutic interventions are also under research and the selective inhibition of disease specific components is also being studied for the purpose of developing treatments for diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders. This indicates a bright future market potential depending upon the time required for commercialization. Currently, there is only one approved ubiquitin proteasome system product available in the market named Velcade. In 2009, total sales of Velcade were estimated to be 1.4 billion and being the only approved drug, its sales are expected to achieve growth at a high compounded annual growth rate ...
Protein turnover is crucial in maintaining cellular homeostasis and this process is largely controlled by the Ubiquitin Proteasome Pathway (UPP). The pathway consists of an enzymatic cascade that links the polypeptide cofactor Ubiquitin to specific protein targets, which mark them for degradation by the proteasome. This cascade is highly regulated and impacts virtually all cellular processes including cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. Malfunction of the UPP has been implicated in the development of diseases such as cancer, immune disorders and neurodegeneration. ...
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) is a major protein degradation pathway that is activated during sepsis and has been proposed as a therapeutic target for preventing skeletal muscle loss due to cachexia. Although several studies have investigated the modulation of proteasome activity in response to LPS administration, none have characterized the overall UPP response to LPS administration in the fate of proteasome inhibition. Here, we determined the modulation pattern of the main key components of the UPP in the gastrocnemius (GAS) of mice during the acute phase of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated endotoxemia (7.5 mg/kg - 8 h) by measuring all three β1, β2 and β5 activites of the 20S and 26S proteasomes, the levels of steady state polyubiquitinated proteins, mRNA levels of muscle ligases, as well as signaling pathways regulating the UPP. Another goal was to assess the effects of administration of a specific proteasome inhibitor (epoxomicin, 0.5 mg/kg) on UPP response to sepsis. The acute phase

TY - JOUR. T1 - The C terminus of Rpt3, an ATPase subunit of PA700 (19 S) regulatory complex, is essential for 26 S proteasome assembly but not for activation. AU - Kumar, Brajesh. AU - Kim, Young Chan. AU - DeMartino, George N.. N1 - Copyright: Copyright 2011 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.. PY - 2010/12/10. Y1 - 2010/12/10. N2 - PA700, the 19 S regulatory subcomplex of the 26 S proteasome, contains a heterohexameric ring of AAA subunits (Rpt1 to -6) that forms the binding interface with a heteroheptameric ring of α subunits (α1 to -7) of the 20 S proteasome. Binding of these subcomplexes is mediated by interactions of C termini of certain Rpt subunits with cognate binding sites on the 20 S proteasome. Binding of two Rpt subunits (Rpt2 and Rpt5) depends on their last three residues, which share an HbYX motif (where Hb is a hydrophobic amino acid) and open substrate access gates in the center of the α ring. The relative roles of other Rpt subunits for proteasome binding and activation ...
Bortezomib-resistant myeloma cells contain increased proteolytic processing capacity, including upregulation of the β2 proteasome activity not targeted by bortezomib.20 We hypothesized that β2 proteasome activity contributes to bortezomib resistance and may, therefore, represent a rational target for the treatment of proteasome inhibitor-resistant myeloma.. We here describe the effect of LU-102, the first β2/β2i-selective proteasome inhibitor available for pre-clinical studies in myeloma, on bortezomib- and carfilzomib-resistant myeloma cells. Selective elimination of β2 proteasome activity alone was not sufficient to induce a meaningful cytotoxic effect in bortezomib- or carfilzomib-resistant myeloma cells. However, the combination of LU-102 with bortezomib or carfilzomib was highly potent to overcome bortezomib- or carfilzomib-resistance. This was observed not only in a proteasome inhibitor-adapted myeloma cell line model that mirrors several of the biological features of bortezomib ...
The proteasome is the main site of protein degradation in human cells, and plays a major role in the regulation of cellular processes including cell cycle progression, DNA repair and the DNA damage response. Proteasome inhibition is emerging as a new anti-cancer strategy, with the development of bortezomib for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. Proteasome inhibitors can be used either as single agents or in conjunction with other cancer treatments. Proteasome inhibitors can sensitise cancer cell lines to routinely-used cancer treatments including the platinum-based anti-cancer drug, cisplatin. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of proteasome inhibition on cisplatininduced DNA damage responses in human cells, including cell viability, cell cycle arrest and the phosphorylation of DNA damage response proteins. The proteasome inhibitor MG132 sensitised the pol n-deficient human fibroblast cell line XP30RO to cisplatin. MG132 treatment induced strong cell cycle ...
Aging has been characterized with the accumulation of oxidized proteins, as a consequence of progressive decline in proteostasis capacity. Among others, proteasomal system is an efficient protein turnover complex to avoid aggregation of oxidized proteins. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is another critical player that is involved in some key processes including the correct folding of misfolded proteins and targeting aggregated proteins to the proteasome for rapid degradation. The aim of this study was to determine the role of proteasomal system and heat shock proteins to maintain proteome balance during replicative senescence in mild hyperthermia conditions. Our results demonstrated that HSP40/70 machinery is induced by mild hyperthermia conditions independent from senescence conditions. Since HSP70 is largely responsible for the rapidly inducible cell protection following hyperthermia, the activation of heat shock response resulted in the elevation of HSP40/70 expressions as well as the ...
Lactacystin is a Streptomyces metabolite that inhibits cell cycle progression and induces neurite outgrowth in a murine neuroblastoma cell line. Tritium-labeled lactacystin was used to identify the 20S proteasome as its specific cellular target. Three distinct peptidase activities of this enzyme complex (trypsin-like, chymotrypsin-like, and peptidylglutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing activities) were inhibited by lactacystin, the first two irreversibly and all at different rates. None of five other proteases were inhibited, and the ability of lactacystin analogs to inhibit cell cycle progression and induce neurite outgrowth correlated with their ability to inhibit the proteasome. Lactacystin appears to modify covalently the highly conserved amino-terminal threonine of the mammalian proteasome subunit X (also called MB1), a close homolog of the LMP7 proteasome subunit encoded by the major histocompatibility complex. This threonine residue may therefore have a catalytic role, and subunit X/MB1 may be a ...
The androgen receptor (AR) is a transcription factor belonging to the family of nuclear receptors which mediates the action of androgens in the development of urogenital structures. AR expression is regulated post-translationally by the ubiquitin/proteasome system. This regulation involves more complex mechanisms than typical degradation. The ubiquitin/proteasome system may regulate AR via mechanisms that do not engage in receptor turnover. Given the critical role of AR in sexual development, this complex regulation is especially important. Deregulation of AR signalling may be a causal factor in prostate cancer development. AR is the main target in prostate cancer therapies. Due to the critical role of the ubiquitin/proteasome system in AR regulation, current research suggests that targeting AR degradation is a promising approach.
TY - JOUR. T1 - Dissecting a role of a charge and conformation of Tat2 peptide in allosteric regulation of 20S proteasome. AU - Witkowska, Julia. AU - Karpowicz, Przemysław. AU - Gaczynska, Maria. AU - Osmulski, Pawel A.. AU - Jankowska, Elzbieta. PY - 2014/8. Y1 - 2014/8. N2 - Proteasome is a proteolytic factory that constitutes an essential part of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The involvement of proteasome in regulation of all major aspects of cellular physiology makes it an attractive drug target. So far, only inhibitors of the proteasome entered the clinic as anti-cancer drugs. However, proteasome regulators may also be useful for treatment of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. We established in our previous studies that the peptide Tat2, comprising the basic domain of HIV-1 Tat protein: R49KKRRQRR56, supplemented with Q66DPI 69 fragment, inhibits the 20S proteasome in a noncompetitive manner. Mechanism of Tat2 likely involves allosteric regulation because it competes with ...
Many human proteins have homopolymeric amino acid (HPAA) tracts, but their physiological functions or cellular effects are not well understood. Previously, we expressed 20 HPAAs in mammalian cells and showed characteristic intracellular localization, in that hydrophobic HPAAs aggregated strongly and caused high cytotoxicity in proportion to their hydrophobicity. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxicity of these aggregate-prone hydrophobic HPAAs, assuming that the ubiquitin proteasome system is impaired in the same manner as other well-known aggregate-prone polyglutamine-containing proteins. Some highly hydrophobic HPAAs caused a deficiency in the ubiquitin proteasome system and excess endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading to apoptosis. These results indicate that the property of causing excess endoplasmic reticulum stress by proteasome impairment may contribute to the strong cytotoxicity of highly hydrophobic HPAAs, and proteasome impairment and the resulting excess endoplasmic ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Proteasome-dependent degradation of the human estrogen receptor. AU - Nawaz, Zafar. AU - Lonard, David M.. AU - Dennis, Andrew P.. AU - Smith, Carolyn L.. AU - OMalley, Bert W.. PY - 1999/3/2. Y1 - 1999/3/2. N2 - In eukaryotic cells, the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is the major mechanism for the targeted degradation of proteins with short half-lives. The covalent attachment of ubiquitin to lysine residues of targeted proteins is a signal for the recognition and rapid degradation by the proteasome, a large multi-subunit protease. In this report, we demonstrate that the human estrogen receptor (ER) protein is rapidly degraded in mammalian cells in an estradiol-dependent manner. The treatment of mammalian cells with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 inhibits activity of the proteasome and blocks ER degradation, suggesting that ER protein is turned over through the ubiquitin- proteasome pathway. In addition, we show that in vitro ER degradation depends on ubiquitin-activating E1 ...
Single agent of proteasome inhibitor resulted in significant responses in leukemic cells and the combination of proteasome inhibitors and other chemotherapeutic drugs enhanced its antitumoral efficacy [3, 33-37]. Initially, the experiments were planned to test whether resveratrol could sensitized K562 cells to the anticancer actions of proteasome inhibitors. To our surprise, resveratrol did not promote, but rather attenuated the apoptotic effects of MG132 in cultured K562 cells. We further extended our investigation using a panel of leukemic cells and found that resveratrol also attenuated the cytotoxic actions of MG132 in NB4, U937, Raji and Daudi cells. Furthermore, resveratrol also compromised the apoptotic effects of other three structurally different proteasome inhibitors, PSI, epoxomicin and lactacystin. This was consistent with the previous study that resveratrol exerted its protective effects against proteasome inhibitor-induced cellular damages in human skeletal myotubes [38]. ...
We have described the identification and characterization of PCS1, an essential yeast gene whose predicted product shows a high level of sequence identity with a family of ATPases that are components of the 19S proteasome cap. The 67% identity between Pcs1p and p42, a known human 26S proteasome regulatory subunit (25), provides strong evidence that Pcs1p is itself a proteasome subunit. This idea has recently been confirmed biochemically (83). The p42 subunit has been identified not only as a component of the proteasome cap (also known as PA700) but also of the proteasome modulator, a second complex that enhances cap activation of proteolytic activity (18). Whether a modulator of this sort also exists in S. cerevisiae is unknown.. It has been suggested that different ATPases within the 19S cap might serve to recognize distinct degradation substrates; a structural model for how this recognition specificity might be mediated has been proposed by Rechsteiner et al. (78). These authors note that ...
The proteasome system of the cell is responsible for the degradation of proteins and plays a central role in the generation of epitopes which are presented to cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) on MHC-class-I molecules. The stimulation of cells by interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) leads to the formation of immunoproteasomes that show an improved generation of many MHC-class-I epitopes compared to constitutive proteasomes. In healthy mice, immunoproteasomes are mainly expressed in the lymphatic tissues, whereas the non-lymphatic organs predominantly contain constitutive proteasomes. In this project the effect of Listeria monocytogenes infection on murine 20S proteasomes derived from the liver, spleen, small intestine and colon were investigated. The structure of the isolated proteasomes was analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and western blots while the function was studied by in vitro processing of three oligomeric peptide substrates. Identification and quantification of the processing ...
Study of the mechanisms underlying breast and ovarian cancer development and progression. Dr. Bazzaros laboratory is interested in studying abnormalities of protein degradation pathways in breast and ovarian cancer. The Ubiquitin-Proteasome-System (UPS) is responsible for degradation of over 90% of short-lived intracellular proteins. Protein degradation through Ubiquitin-Proteasome-System is a multistep process that begins with de-ubiquitination of ubiquitin-tagged target molecules by de-ubiquitinating enzymes following their entrance in the 20S catalytic chamber of the proteasomes were the actual degradation occurs. The polypeptide targets of the proteasome include proteins involved in cell cycle progression, survival and inflammation and while the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation is crucial for both normal and malignant cells the higher demand for metabolic/catabolic activity associated with the malignant phenotype renders the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway a suitable tool for cancer ...
Dysfunctional mitochondria cause many neurodegenerative disorders and with aging in general, mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control are essential for cellular function. Keeping mitochondria in a healthy state is a complex process, which is tightly regulated by several mitochondrial quality control systems. An ubiquitin-mediated proteasome-dependent protein degradation pathway, termed outer mitochondrial-associated degradation (OMMAD), was recently described. OMMAD provides mitochondrial protein quality control to prevent mitochondrial damage. Up until now, four outer mitochondrial membrane-anchored RING finger ubiquitin ligases as well as the AAA-ATPase p97 were described as OMMAD components. Here, we further characterize the mitochondrial RING finger protein MARCH9. We found that MARCH9 is an unstable protein degraded in a proteasomal-dependent manner. Furthermore MARCH9 interacts physically with both mitofusins, Mfn1 and Mfn2, both involved in the mitochondrial fusion. The ...

N2 - The proteasome is well known for its regulation of the cell cycle and degradation of mis-folded proteins, yet many of its functions are still unknown. We show that RPN11, a gene encoding a subunit of the regulatory cap of the proteasome, is required for UV-stimulated activation of Gcn4p target genes, but is dispensable for their activation by the general control pathway. We provide evidence that RPN11 functions downstream of RAS2, and show that mutation of two additional proteasome subunits results in identical phenotypes. Our analysis defines a novel function of the proteasome: regulation of the RAS- and AP-1 transcription factor-dependent UV resistance pathway.. AB - The proteasome is well known for its regulation of the cell cycle and degradation of mis-folded proteins, yet many of its ...
The Ubiquitin Interacting Motif (UIM), or LALAL-motif, is a stretch of about 20 amino acid residues, which was first described in the 26S proteasome subunit PSD4/RPN-10 that is known to recognise ubiquitin [(PUBMED:9488668),(PUBMED:11406394)]. In addition, the UIM is found, often in tandem or triplet arrays, in a variety of proteins either involved in ubiquitination and ubiquitin metabolism, or known to interact with ubiquitin-like modifiers. Among the UIM proteins are two different subgroups of the UBP (ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase) family of deubiquitinating enzymes, one F-box protein, one family of HECT-containing ubiquitin-ligases (E3s) from plants, and several proteins containing ubiquitin-associated UBA and/or UBX domains [(PUBMED:12062168)]. In most of these proteins, the UIM occurs in multiple copies and in association with other domains such as UBA (IPR015940), UBX (IPR001012), ENTH, EH (IPR000261), VHS (IPR002014), SH3 (IPR001452), HECT (IPR000569), VWFA (IPR002035), EF-hand ...
2879 The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway controls the turnover of many oncoproteins and tumor suppressors, thus playing a major role in cancer development. This pathway also regulates the stability of Smads. Recent studies have shown that R-Smads are post-translationally modified by ubiquitin and can be irreversibly removed from the cell by the proteasome-mediated degradation system. Ubiquitination, the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to proteins, predominantly serves to target proteins for their degradation by 26S proteasomes. Conjugation of ubiquitin is accomplished by an enzymatic cascade involving E1, E2 and E3 enzymes. Ubiquitin E3 ligases play the most significant role in substrate specificity. Smad4/DPC4 is a common signal transducer in TGF-β signaling. Contrary to R-Smads, our knowledge on the regulation of Smad4 by ubiquitin/proteasome pathway is rather limited. Although the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been established as one mechanism of regulating Smad4 stability, the specific ...
Estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha) is downregulated in the presence of its cognate ligand, estradiol (E2), through the ubiquitin proteasome pathway. Here, we show that ubiquitin proteasome function is required for ER alpha to serve as a transcriptional activator. Deletion of the last 61 amino acids …

The majority of Arabidopsis thaliana plastid proteins is nuclear encoded and has to be synthesized in the cytosol as preproteins. Plastid preproteins are modified in the cytosol and subject to quality control prior to their organellar translocation. We show here that the second amino acid of plastid preproteins determines N-terminal modifications and influences import efficiency or stability in transiently transformed protoplasts. Further inhibition of the 26S proteasome leads to accumulation of preproteins, supporting a connection between the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and preprotein degradation. The mutation of the regulatory proteasome subunit Rpn8A in the plastid protein import mutant 2 (ppi2) background leads to partial rescue of the ppi2 plastid phenotype. A proteome-wide comparison of ppi2 with the rpn8a ppi2 double mutant showed among other things increased abundance of photosynthetic proteins. These results refer to regulatory effects of the proteasome on the plastid biogenesis. ...
The proteasome, an essential component of the ATP-dependent proteolytic pathway in eukaryotic cells, is responsible for the degradation of most cellular proteins and is believed to be the main source of MHC class I-restricted antigenic peptides for presentation to CTL. Inhibition of the proteasome by lactacystin or various peptide aldehydes can result in defective Ag presentation, and the pivotal role of the proteasome in Ag processing has become generally accepted. However, recent reports have challenged this observation. Here we examine the processing requirements of two HLA A*0201-restricted epitopes from HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and find that they are produced by different degradation pathways. Presentation of the C-terminal ILKEPVHGV epitope is impaired in ME275 melanoma cells by treatment with lactacystin, and is independent of expression of the IFN-gamma-inducible proteasome beta subunits LMP2 and LMP7. In contrast, both lactacystin treatment and expression of LMP7 induce the presentation of

The 20S proteasome is the proteolytic core complex of the main cytoplasmic and nuclear protein degradation system. One of the numerous functions assigned to the 20S proteasome is the generation of antigenic peptides from intracellular proteins. MHC class I surface presentation of antigenic peptides is one key event of the cellular immune response. The presented study was aimed on the biochemical and molecular-biological analysis of the 20S proteasome and its activation by regulatory proteins of the PA28 family. In the brain, microglial cells are the major antigen presenting cells and they respond sensitive to pathologic events. Cultured mouse microglia was used as a model to study the correlation between microglial activation parameters and structural plasticity of the 20S/26S proteasome. In response to interferon-g , constitutive active site subunits were replaced by inducible subunits as described for other cellular systems. These replacements result in altered proteolytic cleavage ...

The coexistence of four conformational states, one of which is open in its CP gate under common solution conditions, provides insights into the dynamic regulation of the proteasome holoenzyme (Fig. 5H). We may assume SA, the most populated state, to represent a ground state, whereas SD, the state most distinct from SA, to represent the translocating or fully engaged state of the proteasome, in accordance with prior studies of the yeast proteasome (7, 25⇓⇓-28) (SI Appendix, Fig. S8 E and F). By structural criteria (SI Appendix, Table S3), the SB and SC states may represent intermediates between SA and SD, and may describe a progression of conformational transitions that is temporally ordered: SA is converted to SB, then to SC and SD (Fig. 5H). These transitions, although apparently inherent to the proteasome, are expected to be guided by interactions with substrate, particularly the engagement of substrate by the AAA pore loops. The transition from SA to SB involves local dissociation of the ...

The strongest evidence that the proteasome plays a major role in the generation of most presented peptides comes from studies using highly specific inhibitors of the proteasomes threonine-active sites. In living cells, these agents block completely the presentation of peptides from Ags that require proteolysis, but have no effect on ones that do not need cleavage (e.g., when epitopes are expressed directly from minigenes) and markedly limit the overall supply of peptides to MHC class I molecules (6).. Whereas the immune system has used this phylogentically older pathway for a source of peptides, it also evolved modifications that are thought to play a special role in Ag presentation. One modification is an alternate set of active site subunits (B1i/MHC-linked low molecular weight protein 2, B2i/multicatalytic endopeptidase complex-like 1, B5i/MHC-linked low molecular weight protein 7) that, when expressed preferentially, incorporate into newly assembling proteasomes in place of the standard ...
Protein folding factors (chaperones) are required for many diverse cellular functions. In striated muscle, chaperones are required for contractile protein function, as well as the larger scale assembly of the basic unit of muscle, the sarcomere. The sarcomere is complex and composed of hundreds of proteins and the number of proteins and processes recognized to be regulated by chaperones has increased dramatically over the past decade. Research in the past ten years has begun to discover and characterize the chaperones involved in the assembly of the sarcomere at a rapid rate. Because of the dynamic nature of muscle, wear and tear damage is inevitable. Several systems, including chaperones and the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), have evolved to regulate protein turnover. Much of our knowledge of muscle development focuses on the formation of the sarcomere but recent work has begun to elucidate the requirement and role of chaperones and the UPS in sarcomere maintenance and disease. This review will
The fundamental goal of many chemotherapeutic agents currently used to treat neoplastic disease is to interfere with tumor cell metabolism and the mitotic process by blocking protein and DNA synthesis. This report describes a novel series of very selective inhibitors of the proteasome that serve to block cellular protein degradation. Although protein turnover is required for normal cell function, there is much data linking protein turnover to cell cycle regulation (3) . As such, these data support a causal relationship between inhibition of the proteasome and inhibition of cell growth in human tumor cell lines in vitro. The structure-activity relationship determined here correlates very well to tumor cell growth inhibition and provided strong support that the inhibition of the biochemical target, the proteasome, was directly related to the biological effect of the compounds. Moreover, the in vitro data suggest that the proteasome has a significant role in maintaining cell viability and ...
Eukaryotes have evolved the ubiquitin (Ub)/proteasome system to degrade polypeptides. The Ub/proteasome system is one way that cells regulate cytosolic protein and amino acids levels through the recognition and ubiquitination of a proteins N-terminus via E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The process by which the N-terminus stimulates intracellular protein degradation is referred to as the N-end rule. Characterization of the N-end rule has been limited to only the natural l-amino acids. Using a cytosolic delivery platform derived from anthrax lethal toxin, we probed the stability of mixed chirality proteins, containing one d-amino acid on the N-terminus of otherwise all l-proteins. In all cases, we observed that one N-terminal d-amino acid stabilized the cargo protein to proteasomal degradation with respect to the N-end rule. We found that since the mixed chirality proteins were not polyubiquitinated, they evaded N-end-mediated proteasomal degradation. Evidently, a subtle change on the N-terminus of a ...
Background and purpose: The proteasome subunit α type 6 (PSMA6) is an important proteolytic protein regulating the expression of genes involved in inflammation. Recently, a functional polymorphism rs1048990, located in PSMA6, has been reported with the susceptibility to ischemic stroke (IS) in several ethnic cohorts, but the results were inconsistent. Moreover, it still lacks the data in Asian. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether this polymorphism confers significant risk to IS in a Chinese population.. Methods: A total of 1102 IS cases and 975 healthy controls were analyzed in our study. We genotyped rs1048990 with ligation detection reaction (LDR) method and then performed a meta-analysis.. Results: Significant association between rs1048990 in PSMA6 and ischemic stroke was observed in all comparison models (genotype, p=0.016; allele, p=0.004; CG+GG vs. CC, adjusted p=0.006; GG vs. CG+CC, adjusted p=0.038). Further stratification for stroke subtype, similar differences ...

PYR-41 (50 μM) inhibits activity of ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1 by over 90%. PYR-41 could be a target for nucleophilic attack and potentially reacts with the active site cysteine of E1. PYR-41 efficiently blocks cyclin E degradation. PYR-41 decreases the level of E1fUb thioesters in cells with a IC50 of between 10 and 25 μM, and prevents proteasome inhibitor-induced accumulation of ubiquitylated proteins. PYR-41 increases total sumoylation in cells and in cell harboring temperature-sensitive E1. PYR-41 is able to inhibit both proteasome-dependent and proteasome-independent activities of ubiquitylation. PYR-41 (50 μM) attenuates 1 ng/mL IL-1α-mediated nuclear factor-κB activation by >60% through preventing the downstream ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of IκBα. PYR-41 inhibits degradation of p53 and activates the transcriptional activity of p53, which enable its differentially killing transformed p53-expressing cells. [1] PYR-41 blocks ubiquitination reactions but ...
