Autocatalytic Subunit Processing Couples Active Site Formation in the 20S Proteasome to Completion of Assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
The eukaryotic 20S proteasome is responsible for the degradation of many cellular proteins, but how it is assembled and how its distinct active sites are formed are not understood. Like other proteasome subunits, the yeast Doa3 protein is synthesized in precursor form. We show that the N-terminal propeptide is required for Doa3 incorporation into the proteasome and, remarkably, that the propeptide functions in trans, suggesting it serves a chaperone-like function in proteasome biogenesis. Propeptide processing is not required for proteasome assembly but is needed for maturation of a specific subset of active sites. The likely nucleophile for these sites is provided by the N-terminal threonine of mature Doa3. Additional data indicate that precursor processing is autocatalytic and requires association of the two halves of the proteasome particle, thereby preventing formation of proteolytic sites until the central hydrolytic chamber has been sealed off from the rest of the cell.

A unified mechanism for proteolysis and autocatalytic activation in the 20S proteasome.
Biogenesis of the 20S proteasome is tightly regulated. The N-terminal propeptides protecting the active-site threonines are autocatalytically released only on completion of assembly. However, the trigger for the self-activation and the reason for the strict conservation of threonine as the active site nucleophile remain enigmatic. Here we use mutagenesis, X-ray crystallography and biochemical a...
متن کاملChaperone-assisted assembly of the proteasome core particle.
The 26S proteasome is a non-lysosomal protease in the cytosol and nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Its main function is to mediate ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. The 26S proteasome is a multimeric complex composed by the 20S proteasome CP (core particle) and the 19S RPs (regulatory particles). Although the atomic structure of the 26S proteasome has not yet been determined, high-resolution structu...
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...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of the 20S proteasome from the methanoarchaeon Methanosarcina thermophila.
The 20S proteasome from the methanoarchaeon Methanosarcina thermophila was produced in Escherichia coli and characterized. The biochemical properties revealed novel features of the archaeal 20S proteasome. A fully active 20S proteasome could be assembled in vitro with purified native alpha ring structures and beta prosubunits independently produced in Escherichia coli, which demonstrated that a...
متن کاملUmp1p Is Required for Proper Maturation of the 20S Proteasome and Becomes Its Substrate upon Completion of the Assembly
We report the discovery of a short-lived chaperone that is required for the correct maturation of the eukaryotic 20S proteasome and is destroyed at a specific stage of the assembly process. The S. cerevisiae Ump1p protein is a component of proteasome precursor complexes containing unprocessed beta subunits but is not detected in the mature 20S proteasome. Upon the association of two precursor c...
