Proteasomal protein degradation in Mycobacteria is dependent upon a prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein.
The striking identification of an apparent proteasome core in Mycobacteria and allied actinomycetes suggested that additional elements of this otherwise strictly eukaryotic system for regulated protein degradation might be conserved. The genes encoding this prokaryotic proteasome are clustered in an operon with a short open reading frame that encodes a small protein of 64 amino acids resembling...
متن کاملUbiquitin-dependent mitochondrial protein degradation.
Progressive mitochondrial failure is tightly associated with the onset of many age-related human pathologies. This tight connection results from the double-edged sword of mitochondrial respiration, which is responsible for generating both ATP and ROS, as well as from risks that are inherent to mitochondrial biogenesis. To prevent and treat these diseases, a precise understanding of the mechanis...
متن کاملPup, a prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein, is an intrinsically disordered protein.
Pup (prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the first ubiquitin-like protein identified in non-eukaryotic cells. Although different ubiquitin-like proteins from eukaryotes share low sequence similarity, their 3D (three-dimensional) structures exhibit highly conserved typical ubiquitin-like folds. Interestingly, our studies reveal that Pup not only shares low sequ...
متن کامل"Depupylation" of prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein from mycobacterial proteasome substrates.
Ubiquitin (Ub) provides the recognition and specificity required to deliver proteins to the eukaryotic proteasome for destruction. Prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) is functionally analogous to Ub in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), as it dooms proteins to the Mtb proteasome. Studies suggest that Pup and Ub do not share similar mechanisms of activation and conjugation to target proteins...
متن کاملMutant ubiquitin found in neurodegenerative disorders is a ubiquitin fusion degradation substrate that blocks proteasomal degradation
Loss of neurons in neurodegenerative diseases is usually preceded by the accumulation of protein deposits that contain components of the ubiquitin/proteasome system. Affected neurons in Alzheimer's disease often accumulate UBB(+1), a mutant ubiquitin carrying a 19-amino acid C-terminal extension generated by a transcriptional dinucleotide deletion. Here we show that UBB(+1) is a potent inhibito...
