Overexpression of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL1) in boys with cryptorchidism
BACKGROUND The ubiquitin-proteasome system regulate p53, caspase and Bcl-2 family proteins, and is crucial for the degradation of the defective germ cells in testes. Purpose: to evaluate the concentration of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCHL1) in the blood plasma of boys with cryptorchidism and if there is any correlation with patient age. METHODS Patients-50 boys aged 1-4 years (...
متن کاملOverexpression of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) delays Alzheimer's progression in vivo
Deposition of amyloid β protein (Aβ) to form neuritic plaques in the brain is the pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ is produced by β- and γ-cleavages of amyloid β precursor protein (APP). Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) is a de-ubiquitinating enzyme that cleaves ubiquitin at its carboxyl terminal. Dysfunction of UCHL1 has been reported in neurodegenerative d...
متن کاملUbiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase acts on ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal amides.
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (formerly known as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase), from rabbit reticulocytes, has been shown to hydrolyze thiol esters formed between the ubiquitin carboxyl terminus and small thiols (e.g. glutathione), as well as free ubiquitin adenylate (Rose, I. A., and Warms, J. V. B. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 4234-4237). We now show that this enzyme hydrolyzes ami...
متن کاملBiochemical investigation of the ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase family
Chaney, Joseph Rashon. Ph.D., Purdue University, May 2015. Biochemical Investigation of the Ubiquitin Carboxyl-Terminal Hydrolase Family Major Professor: Chittaranjan Das. The proteasome is the machinery in eukaryotic cells that degrades protein and recycles the amino acids. Protein degradation is a highly regulated process which starts by the attachment of chains of ubiquitin, which serves as ...
متن کاملConserved expression of ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (UCHL1) in mammalian testes.
Spermatogonia, the adult germ cells that initiate spermatogenesis in mammalian testis, are capable of dividing both mitotically and meiotically. Isolation and preservation of spermatogonia helps in preserving genetic pool of endangered animals. In this context, identification of marker(s) that can distinguish spermatogonia from other cells in testis gains significance. Here, we examined the exp...
