  Proteasome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The importance of proteolytic degradation inside cells and the role of ubiquitin in proteolytic pathways was acknowledged in the awarding of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Aaron Ciechanover, Avram Hershko and Irwin Rose.
Trought the cascade of E1 ubiquitin activating, E2 ubiquitin conjugating, and E3 ubiquitin ligase enzymes, ubiquitin monomers are attached sequentially to the target proteins The polyubiquitinated proteins are then recognized by the 26S proteasome, a large ATP-dependent multicatalytic protease, which removes the ubiquitin chain and degrades the proteins to short peptides.
The proteasome is hollow, providing an enclosed space for protein digestion, and has openings at the two ends to allow entry of the targeted protein.

 The Proteasomes
Proteasomes are protein degradative machines that are found in the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
Proteasomes are cylindrical structures very similar to hsp60 chaperonins (we'll discuss this later).
In the case of proteasomes, the proteins in the cytoplasm must be protected from the proteolytic processes.

The proteasome is widely recognized as the central enzyme of non-lysosomal protein degradation.
The 26S proteasome, which contains the 20S proteasome as catalytic core degrades ubiquitinated proteins in an ATP dependent manner and is the proteolytic enzyme of the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway of cytosolic protein turnover.
Proteasomes occur in the cytosol and in the nuclei of all eukaryotic cells examined so far and they have also been found in the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum (Dahlmann et al., 1992).

Thus, the proteasome is implicated in numerous, important biological functions.
The proteasome is responsible for removing damaged, misfolded, nonfunctional and potentially toxic proteins from the cell.
For example, positive and negative regulators of apoptosis and cell division are subject to proteasomal degradation in a temporally and highly restrained way, thus illustrating the ability of the proteasome to assume two roles in Cellular apoptosis and proliferation.

The role of this 19S particle, which "caps" each extremity of the 20S proteasome is to unfold the protein substrates to inject them into the 20S proteasome and to stimulate the proteolytic activity.
Despite the difference in subunit composition, the proteasome from archaebacteria to eukaryotes have the same basic architecture, which under the electron microscope appears as a cylinder shaped particle, made up of four stacked rings with dimensions of approximately 15 nm in height and 11 nm in diameter.
This generation of peptides of defined length is of biological relevance in the context of the implication of the eukariotic proteasome in the antigen presentation by MHC molecules during the T-cell immune response

Molecular cloning of the mouse proteasome subunits MC14 and MECL-1: reciprocally regulated tissue expression of interferon-gamma-modulated proteasome subunits.
LMP2 is required for MECL-1 incorporation at the level of proteasome precursor formation that guarantees the concerted incorporation of two IFN-gamma-inducible proteasome subunits encoded inside and outside the MHC.
We compared the 20S proteasome subunit pattern from IFN-gamma- induced and non- induced mouse fibroblasts on two-dimensional gels and identified a third subunit exchange by microsequencing: the non-MHC-encoded subunit MECL-1 is induced by IFN-gamma and replaces a sofar barely characterized beta subunit designated ' MC14'.

 Ubiquitin, proteasome, COP9 signalosome, and TPPII research - BIOMOL International LP
The SCF family of ubiquitin-protein ligases may be responsible for protein ubiquitinylation in the G1/S phase and the related APC/cyclosome complexes perform the same function in G2/M. The search continues for further substrates that are targeted for degradation during the cell cycle and cytokinesis (King et al., 1996).
Maybe, the ubiquitinylation/26S proteasomal apparatus is focussed on the pericentriolar region not only to facilitate cell division but also to ubiquitinylate mutant proteins (and excess wild-type proteins?) which have been removed from the ER by the ER-quality control system (Hiller et al., 1996).
The basis of the utilisation of ubiquitin (and attachable ubiquitons) is the formation of an isopeptide bond between the carboxylic acid moiety of the carboxyl-terminal glycine residue of ubiquitin and the e-amino group of a lysine residue within a target protein.
