Modelling Proteasome and Proteasome Regulator Activities
Proteasomes are key proteases involved in a variety of processes ranging from the clearance of damaged proteins to the presentation of antigens to CD8+ T-lymphocytes. Which cleavage sites are used within the target proteins and how fast these proteins are degraded have a profound impact on immune system function and many cellular metabolic processes. The regulation of proteasome activity involv...
متن کاملAntitrypanosomal activities of proteasome inhibitors.
Seven peptidyl proteasome inhibitors were tested for in vitro activity against Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream forms. Two compounds showed activity in the low nanomolar range. In general, trypanosomes were more susceptible to the compounds than were human HL-60 cells. The data support the potential of proteasome inhibitors for rational antitrypanosomal drug development.
متن کاملThe cardiac 26S proteasome: regulating the regulator.
Significance of Ubiquitin–Proteasome– Mediated Degradation of Proteins The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the main pathway for the nonlysosomal degradation of intracellular proteins, representing upwards of 80% of all intracellular proteins. A key component of the UPS is the 26S proteasome, a macromolecular multisubunit complex that has the responsibility of recognizing, unfolding, and th...
متن کاملThe immunoproteasome, the 20S proteasome and the PA28αβ proteasome regulator are oxidative-stress-adaptive proteolytic complexes.
Oxidized cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins are normally degraded by the proteasome, but accumulate with age and disease. We demonstrate the importance of various forms of the proteasome during transient (reversible) adaptation (hormesis), to oxidative stress in murine embryonic fibroblasts. Adaptation was achieved by 'pre-treatment' with very low concentrations of H2O2, and tested by measuring i...
متن کاملThe proteasome regulator PA28 > / I can enhance antigen presentation without affecting 20S proteasome subunit composition
PA28 § / g is a regulatory complex of the 20S proteasome which consists of two IFN+ inducible subunits. Both subunits, § and g , contribute equally to the formation of hexaor heptameric rings which can associate with the 20S proteasome. Previously, we have shown that overexpression of the PA28 § subunit enhanced the MHC class I-restricted presentation of two viral epitopes and that purified PA2...
