DEN1 deneddylates non-cullin proteins in vivo.
The ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8/Rub1 covalently modifies and activates cullin ubiquitin ligases. However, the repertoire of Nedd8-modified proteins and the regulation of protein neddylation status are not clear. The cysteine protease DEN1/NEDP1 specifically processes the Nedd8 precursor and has been suggested to deconjugate Nedd8 from cullin proteins. By characterizing the Drosophila DEN1 prot...
متن کاملStructural basis of NEDD8 ubiquitin discrimination by the deNEDDylating enzyme NEDP1.
NEDD8 (neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated gene 8)-specific protease NEDP1 processes preNEDD8 to its mature form and deconjugates NEDD8 from substrates such as p53 and cullins. Although NEDD8 and ubiquitin are highly related in sequence and structure, their attachment to a protein leads to different biological effects. It is therefore critical that NEDP1 discriminates ...
متن کاملActivity-based probes that target diverse cysteine protease families.
Proteases are one of the largest and best-characterized families of enzymes in the human proteome. Unfortunately, the understanding of protease function in the context of complex proteolytic cascades remains in its infancy. One major reason for this gap in understanding is the lack of technologies that allow direct assessment of protease activity. We report here an optimized solid-phase synthes...
متن کاملMicrosciadin, a New Milk-Clotting Cysteine Protease from an Endemic Species, Euphorbia microsciadia
In the present work, a new branch of biotechnological advantage of the latex of an endemic perennial plant, Euphorbia microsciadia has been introduced. A novel cysteine protease, designated as microsciadin, was purified from the latex of Euphorbia microsciadia by a combination of sequential usage of SP-Sepharose Fast Flow column in two different pHs and a final gel filtration ...
متن کاملMch3, a novel human apoptotic cysteine protease highly related to CPP32.
Recent evidence suggests that mammalian cysteine proteases related to Caenorhabditis elegans CED-3 are key components of mammalian programmed cell death or apoptosis. We have shown recently that the CPP32 and Mch2 alpha cysteine proteases cleave the apoptotic markers poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and lamins, respectively. Here we report the cloning of a new Ced-3/interleukin 1 beta-convert...
