Disruption of prosomes by some bivalent metal ions results in the loss of their multicatalytic proteinase activity and cancels the nuclease resistance of prosomal RNA.
Prosomes are ribonucleoprotein particles constituted by a variable set of about 20 proteins found associated with untranslated mRNA. In addition, they contain a small RNA, the presence of which has been an issue of controversy for a long time. The intact particles have a multicatalytic proteinase (MCP) activity and are very stable; we have never observed autodigestion of the particle by its int...
متن کاملProteasomes: multicatalytic proteinase complexes.
The multicatalytic proteinase complex (proteasome) is a highmolecular-mass (approximately 700 kDa) intracellular proteinase which has been isolated under a variety of different names from a wide variety of eukaryotic cells and tissues (reviewed, Rivett, 1989a; Orlowski, 1990). The proteinase complex is composed of at least 24 subunits which include many different polypeptides arranged in a cyli...
متن کاملCharacterization of the active site of human multicatalytic proteinase.
The activity of multicatalytic proteinase against synthetic substrates and the kinetics of its inhibition by a range of class-specific inhibitors have been investigated. The enzyme was found to have a broader pH activity profile than previously noted, being active against succinyl-Ala-Ala-Phe-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin optimally at pH 4.5 and against benzyloxycarbonyl-Gly-Gly-Arg-7-amino-4-methyl...
متن کاملThe multicatalytic proteinase complex (proteasome): structure and conformational changes associated with changes in proteolytic activity.
The multicatalytic proteinase complex or proteasome is a high-molecular-mass multisubunit proteinase which is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Electron microscopy of negatively stained rat liver proteinase preparations suggests that the particle has a hollow cylindrical shape (approximate width 11 nm and height 17 nm using methylamine tungstate as the negative stain) with...
متن کاملLeupeptin-binding site(s) in the mammalian multicatalytic proteinase complex.
The multicatalytic proteinase (MCP) complex is a major nonlysosomal proteinase which plays an important role in non-lysosomal pathways of protein degradation and which has recently been implicated in antigen processing. The mammalian MCP complex is composed of more than 20 different types of polypeptide, but it is not yet clear which of these components are responsible for its proteolytic activ...
