Ubiquitin-Proteasome System- a target to control pathogenic protozoa
Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is an ATP-dependent proteolytic machinery of eukaryotes. Analogous systems have been characterized in eubacteria and archaea as well. Although the structure and functions of this machinery is welldocumented in yeast and vertebrates, knowledge of this machinery is rudimentary for unicellular parasitic protozoa. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge regar...

متن کاملThe ubiquitin–proteasome system as a molecular target in solid tumors: an update on bortezomib
The ubiquitin-proteasome system has become a promising molecular target in cancer therapy due to its critical role in cellular protein degradation, interaction with cell cycle and apoptosis regulation, and unique mechanism of action. Bortezomib (PS-341) is a potent and specific reversible proteasome inhibitor, which has shown strong in vitro antitumor activity as single agent and in combination...
متن کاملThe proteasome as a target for cancer therapy.
The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex responsible for the degradation of most intracellular proteins, including proteins crucial to cell cycle regulation and programmed cell death, or apoptosis. In preclinical cancer models, proteasome inhibitors induce apoptosis, have in vivo antitumor efficacy, and sensitize malignant cells and tumors to the proapoptotic effects of conventiona...
متن کاملFluorescent reporters for the ubiquitin-proteasome system.
Regulated turnover of proteins in the cytosol and nucleus of eukaryotic cells is primarily performed by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). The UPS is involved in many essential cellular processes. Alterations in this proteolytic system are associated with a variety of human pathologies, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, immunological disorders and inflammation. The precise role of...
