Role of the ubiquitin proteasome system in the heart.

چکیده
Proper protein turnover is required for cardiac homeostasis and, accordingly, impaired proteasomal function appears to contribute to heart disease. Specific proteasomal degradation mechanisms underlying cardiovascular biology and disease have been identified, and such cellular pathways have been proposed to be targets of clinical relevance. This review summarizes the latest literature regarding the specific E3 ligases involved in heart biology, and the general ways that the proteasome regulates protein quality control in heart disease. The potential for therapeutic intervention in Ubiquitin Proteasome System function in heart disease is discussed.

Background: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a crucial role in regulating the levels and functions of a large number of proteins in the cell, which are important for cancer cell growth and survival. The proteasome is highly activated in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), which is the most common malignancy in children. The attempt to inhibit proteasome as a ther...

BACKGROUND The ubiquitin proteasome system maintains a dynamic equilibrium of proteins and prevents accumulation of damaged and misfolded proteins, yet its role in human cardiac dysfunction is not well understood. The present study evaluated ubiquitin proteasome system function in human heart failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). METHODS AND RESULTS Proteasome function was studied in...
متن کاملDistribution and interrelationship of ubiquitin proteasome pathway component activities and ubiquitin pools in various porcine tissues.
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway fulfills major biological functions, but its physiologic tissue distribution and the interrelationship between pathway component activities and ubiquitin pools are unknown. Therefore, we analyzed free and conjugated ubiquitin, ubiquitin-protein ligation rates (UbPL) and chymotryptic- and tryptic-like proteasome peptidase activities in porcine skeletal muscle, he...
متن کاملThe ubiquitin-proteasome system: focus on the heart.
Proteasomes are the main non-lysosomal multicatalytic protease complexes that are involved in the degradation of most intracellular proteins. The substrate proteins are marked by ubiquitin, which serves as a tag for their regulated proteasomal destruction. One major function of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is to prevent accumulation of non-functional, potentially toxic proteins. Moreov...
متن کاملThe ubiquitin proteasome system and myocardial ischemia.
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has been the subject of intensive research over the past 20 years to define its role in normal physiology and in pathophysiology. Many of these studies have focused in on the cardiovascular system and have determined that the UPS becomes dysfunctional in several pathologies such as familial and idiopathic cardiomyopathies, atherosclerosis, and myocardial is...
