Proteasome is an important target in cancer therapy. To enhance the efficacy of proteasome inhibitors is a challenging task due to the paucity of understanding the functional interactions between proteasome and other cellular pathways in mammalian cells. Taking advantage of the knowledge gained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we show that dyclonine and alverine citrate, the major components of t...
We determined composition and relative roles of deubiquitylating proteins associated with the 26S proteasome in mammalian cells. Three deubiquitylating activities were associated with the 26S proteasome: two from constituent subunits, Rpn11/S13 and Uch37, and one from a reversibly associated protein, Usp14. RNA interference (RNAi) of Rpn11/S13 inhibited cell growth, decreased cellular proteasom...
BACKGROUND The proteasome system has a pivotal role in the control of the immune response, which suggests that it might be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders. OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression profile of selected proteasomal genes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with a variety of autoimmune diseases compared with healthy subjects. METHODS Real...
The ex vivo sensitivity of pediatric leukemia cells to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib was compared to 3 next generation proteasome inhibitors: the epoxyketone-based irreversible proteasome inhibitors carfilzomib, its orally bio-available analog ONX 0912, and the immunoproteasome inhibitor ONX 0914. LC50 values were determined by MTT cytotoxicity assays for 29 childhood acute lymphoblastic ...
The role of amyloid-beta protein (Abeta) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been widely investigated and amyloid aggregates are considered a major cause of neuronal dysfunction. Increasing evidence has identified a correlation between this protein and the proteasome, the cellular proteolytic machinery, in particular the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The 20S proteasome is the cat...
Animal studies have demonstrated that a dietary polyphenol known as tannic acid (TA) exhibits anticarcinogenic activity in chemically induced cancers, although the involved molecular target remains unknown. In addition, proteasome inhibitors have been shown to suppress human tumor growth in nude mice. Most recently, we have reported that ester-bond-containing tea polyphenols are potent proteaso...
We describe here biochemical characterization of the 20 S proteasome from the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei. Similar to the mammalian proteasome, the T. brucei proteasome is made up of seven alpha- and seven beta-subunits. Of the seven beta-type subunits, five contain pro-sequences that are proteolytically removed during assembly, and three of them are predicted to be catalytic based o...
Heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) and the proteasome activator PA28 stimulate major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigen processing. It is unknown whether hsp90 influences the proteasome activity to produce T cell epitopes, although association of PA28 with the 20 S proteasome stimulates the enzyme activity. Here, we show that hsp90 is essential in assembly of the 26 S proteasome and as...
Aging is the progressive loss of cellular function which inevitably leads to death. Failure of proteostasis including the decrease in proteasome function is one hallmark of aging. In the lung, proteasome activity was shown to be impaired in age-related diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, little is known on proteasome function during healthy aging. Here, we comprehen...
Mammalian proteasome subpopulations with distinct molecular compositions and proteolytic activities.
The proteasome-dependent protein degradation participates in multiple essential cellular processes. Modulation of proteasomal activities may alter cardiac function and disease phenotypes. However, cardiovascular studies reported thus far have yielded conflicting results. We hypothesized that a contributing factor to the contradicting literature may be caused by existing proteasome heterogeneity...
