Peptide size dependent active transport in the proteasome
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the transport of proteins inside the proteasome and propose an active transport mechanism based on a spatially asymmetric interaction potential of peptide chains. The transport is driven by fluctuations which are always present in such systems. We compute the peptide-size dependent transport rate which is essential for the functioning of the proteasome. In agreement with recent experiments, varying temperature changes the transport mechanism qualitatively.

Interferon-γ inducible exchanges of 20S proteasome active site subunits: Why?
When cells are stimulated with the cytokines IFN-γ or TNF-α, the synthesis of three proteasome subunits LMP2 ( 1i), LMP7 ( 5i), and MECL-1 ( 2i) is induced. These subunits replace the three subunits delta ( 1), MB1 ( 5), and Z ( 2), which bear the catalytically active sites of the proteasome, during proteasome neosynthesis. The cytokine-induced exchanges of three active site subunits of a compl...

Background: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a crucial role in regulating the levels and functions of a large number of proteins in the cell, which are important for cancer cell growth and survival. The proteasome is highly activated in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL), which is the most common malignancy in children. The attempt to inhibit proteasome as a ther...

Based on the existing structure activity relationship for proteasome inhibitors, a number of substituted aryl-2-nitrovinyl derivatives have been synthesized as Michael acceptor and their cytotoxicity and proteasome inhibitory effects were evaluated on two cancer cell lines. Compound 2d exhibited IC50 values of 0.71 and 17.79 μM comparable to bortezomib against MCF-7 and PC-3, respectively. The ...
متن کاملProduction of Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthetase (NRPS)- Dependent Siderophore by Aeromonas Isolates
Background: Aeromonas species are Gram-negative ubiquitous bacteria, facultative anaerobic rods that infect both invertebrates and vertebrates. Various fish species develop hemorrhagic disease and furunculosis due to Aeromonas spp. Aeromonas strains generate certain active compounds such as siderophores, which are the final products of non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) activity. The prese...
متن کاملTime-dependent analysis of carrier density and potential energy in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD)
Interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. Numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. In this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD). The simulation is based on the imaginary time...
