Limited Proteolysis: DisRUPting Proteasomal Inhibition

نویسنده

  • Thorsten Hoppe
چکیده

The 26S proteasome is a protease complex that completely degrades substrate proteins marked with a chain of ubiquitins, but is also able to perform endoproteolytic cleavage. A new study now demonstrates that regulated ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent processing ameliorates proteasomal inhibition.

N-terminal residues regulate proteasomal degradation of AANAT.

Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) catalyzes the conversion of serotonin to N-acetylserotonin, which is the immediate precursor for formation of melatonin. Although it is known that AANAT is degraded via the proteasomal proteolysis, detailed mechanisms are not defined. In this paper, we tested the in vivo role of proteasome inhibition on AANAT activity and melatonin release and examined the ...

Pathways accessory to proteasomal proteolysis are less efficient in major histocompatibility complex class I antigen production.

Degradation of cytosolic proteins depends largely on the proteasome, and a fraction of the cleavage products are presented as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-bound ligands at the cell surface of antigen presenting cells. Proteolytic pathways accessory to the proteasome contribute to protein turnover, and their up-regulation may complement the proteasome when proteasomal proteolys...

Distant positioning of proteasomal proteolysis relative to actively transcribed genes

While it is widely acknowledged that the ubiquitin-proteasome system plays an important role in transcription, little is known concerning the mechanistic basis, in particular the spatial organization of proteasome-dependent proteolysis at the transcription site. Here, we show that proteasomal activity and tetraubiquitinated proteins concentrate to nucleoplasmic microenvironments in the euchroma...

Probing Conformational Feature of a Recombinant Pyruvate Kinase by Limited Proteolysis

Pyruvate kinase is a key enzyme in glycolytic pathway that catalyzes the transphosphorylation between phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to yield ATP and Pyruvate. Geobacillus stearothermophillus has a stable pyruvate kinase with determined crystal structure that composed of four separate domains. Given that limited proteolysis experiments can be successfully used to probe conformational features of p...

Selective adrenergic/cyclic AMP-dependent switch-off of proteasomal proteolysis alone switches on neural signal transduction: an example from the pineal gland.

The molecular processes underlying neural transmission are central issues in neurobiology. Here we describe a novel mechanism through which noradrenaline (NA) activates its target cells, using the mammalian pineal organ as a model. In this neuroendocrine transducer, NA stimulates arylalkylamine N:-acetyltransferase (AANAT; EC 2.3.1. 87), the key enzyme regulating the nocturnal melatonin product...
