Insights into the molecular architecture of the 26S proteasome.

چکیده
Cryo-electron microscopy in conjunction with advanced image analysis was used to analyze the structure of the 26S proteasome and to elucidate its variable features. We have been able to outline the boundaries of the ATPase module in the "base" part of the regulatory complex that can vary in its position and orientation relative to the 20S core particle. This variation is consistent with the "wobbling" model that was previously proposed to explain the role of the regulatory complex in opening the gate in the alpha-rings of the core particle. In addition, a variable mass near the mouth of the ATPase ring has been identified as Rpn10, a multiubiquitin receptor, by correlating the electron microscopy data with quantitative mass spectrometry.

The 26S proteasome is an integral element of the ubiquitin-proteasome system(UPS) and, as such, responsible for regulated degradation of proteins in eukaryotic cells.It consists of the core particle, which catalyzes the proteolysis of substrates into small peptides, and the regulatory particle, which ensures specificity for a broad range of substrates.The heart of the regulatory particle is an ...

The 26S proteasome is at the executive end of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway for the controlled degradation of intracellular proteins. While the structure of its 20S core particle (CP) has been determined by X-ray crystallography, the structure of the 19S regulatory particle (RP), which recruits substrates, unfolds them, and translocates them to the CP for degradation, has remained elusive. H...

The 26S proteasome is a 2.5 MDa molecular machine that executes the degradation of substrates of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The molecular architecture of the 26S proteasome was recently established by cryo-EM approaches. For a detailed understanding of the sequence of events from the initial binding of polyubiquitylated substrates to the translocation into the proteolytic core complex, i...

New information reported by researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas could eventually help scientists develop better ways to protect against and treat the adverse effects of too much sunlight. In a paper published in the June 1999 issue of Molecular Cell, the researchers demonstrated that the interaction between a protein called Rad23 and a protein complex kn...
متن کاملThe proteasome under the microscope: the regulatory particle in focus.
Since first imaged by electron microscopy, much effort has been placed into determining the structure and mechanism of the 26S proteasome. While the proteolytic core is understood in atomic detail, how substrates are engaged and transported to this core remains elusive. Substrate delivery is accomplished by a 19-subunit regulatory particle that binds to ubiquitinated substrates, detaches ubiqui...
متن کاملMolecular architecture and assembly of the eukaryotic proteasome.
The eukaryotic ubiquitin-proteasome system is responsible for most aspects of regulatory and quality-control protein degradation in cells. Its substrates, which are usually modified by polymers of ubiquitin, are ultimately degraded by the 26S proteasome. This 2.6-MDa protein complex is separated into a barrel-shaped proteolytic 20S core particle (CP) of 28 subunits capped on one or both ends by...
