General description

A tetrapeptide aldehyde that acts as a highly selective and potent proteasomal inhibitor (Ki = 1.5 µM for branched chain amino acid preferring, 2.3 µM for small neutral amino acid preferring, and 40.5 µM for chymotrypsin-like activities; IC50 = 3.1 µM for peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolyzing activity). Shown to be a weak inhibitor of trypsin-like proteasomal activity.

Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are degraded by N-terminal threonine proteases within the 26S proteasome. Each protease is formed by an activated beta subunit, beta5/X, beta1/Y, or beta2/Z, that exhibits chymotrypsin-like, peptidylglutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing, or trypsin-like activity, respectively. Little

Evidence indicates that a component of the multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC) that preferentially cleaves bonds after branched chain amino acids (BrAAP) is a major factor responsible for the protein-degrading activity of the MPC. We report here the synthesis of substrate-related

Amino acid sequencing of subunits of the multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC) isolated from bovine spleen showed an almost complete replacement of the X, Y, and Z subunits, constitutively expressed in most tissues, by the interferon-gamma-inducible LMP7, LMP2, and MECL1 subunits.

Two catalytic components of the multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC, proteasome) designated as chymotrypsin-like (ChT-L) and branched chain amino acid preferring (BrAAP) cleave bonds after hydrophobic amino acids. The possible involvement of the ChT-L and peptidylglutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing (PGPH) activities in the

Exposure to [14C]-3,4-dichloroisocoumarin (DCI) of multicatalytic proteinase complexes (MPC) isolated from bovine pituitary and spleen leads to label incorporation into several beta-type subunits, to rapid inactivation of the chymotrypsin-like (ChT-L) activity, and to a slower inactivation of other activities of
