Proteasomes: Machines for All Reasons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emerging data reveal that besides degrading proteins tagged with ubiquitin, the proteasome plays a more varied and decisive role in cellular regulation than previously imagined. In this issue, Hanna et al. (2007) expand our view of the proteasome by showing that under certain conditions, proteasome composition can be altered to control ubiquitin homeostasis.

Hybrid proteasomes. Induction by interferon-gamma and contribution to ATP-dependent proteolysis.
Eukaryotic cells contain various types of proteasomes. Core 20 S proteasomes (abbreviated 20 S below) have two binding sites for the regulatory particles, PA700 and PA28. PA700-20 S-PA700 complexes are known as 26 S proteasomes and are ATP-dependent machines that degrade cell proteins. PA28 is found both in previously described complexes of the type PA28-20 S-PA28 and in complexes that also con...
متن کاملDNA damage modulates interactions between microRNAs and the 26S proteasome
26S proteasomes are known as major non-lysosomal cellular machines for coordinated and specific destruction of ubiquitinylated proteins. The proteolytic activities of proteasomes are controlled by various post-translational modifications in response to environmental cues, including DNA damage. Besides proteolysis, proteasomes also associate with RNA hydrolysis and splicing. Here, we extend the ...
متن کاملMHC-linked low-molecular mass polypeptide subunits define distinct subsets of proteasomes. Implications for divergent function among distinct proteasome subsets.
Proteasomes are 650-kDa, multisubunit endopeptidases that might be involved in the MHC class I Ag processing pathway. We demonstrate the existence of multiple structurally distinct subsets of proteasomes. Distinct forms of proteasomes share a hypothetical core to which unique subunits are added. One of these subsets, LMP2+ proteasome, contains the product of the MHC-linked Lmp-2 gene, and can b...
متن کاملHuman proteasomes analysed with monoclonal antibodies.
The proteasome or multicatalytic endopeptidase from eukaryotic cells consists of at least 14 subunits that fall into two families, alpha and beta. Subunit-specific monoclonal antibodies against ten different subunits of human proteasomes have been produced, together with an antibody that reacts with a motif (prosbox 1), common to alpha-type subunits. Four of the subunit-specific antibodies were...
