Abstract
20S proteasome is a main player in the protein degradation pathway in the cytosol, thus intervening in multiple pivotal cellular processes. Over the years the proteasome has emerged as a crucial target for the treatment of many diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, autoimmune diseases, developmental disorders, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, cardiac diseases, atherosclerosis, and aging. In this work, the mechanism of proteasome covalent inhibition with bisbenzyl-protected homobelactosin C (hBelC) was explored using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods. Molecular dynamic simulations were used to describe key interactions established between the hBelC and its unique binding mode in the primed site of the β5 subunit. The free energy surfaces were computed to characterize the kinetics and thermodynamics of the inhibition process. This study revealed that although the final inhibition product for hBelC is formed according to the same molecular mechanism as one described for hSalA, the free energy profile of the reaction pathway differs significantly from the one previously reported for γ-lactam-β-lactone containing inhibitors in terms of the height of the activation barrier as well as the stabilization of the final product. Moreover, it was proved that high stabilization of the covalent adduct formed between β5-subunit and hBelC, together with the presence of aminocarbonyl side chain in the structure of the inhibitor which prevents the hydrolysis of the ester bond from taking place, determines its irreversible character.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, degradation of most intracellular proteins is realized by proteasomes. The substrates for proteolysis are selected by the fact that the gate to the proteolytic chamber of the proteasome is usually closed, and only proteins carrying a special "label" can get into it. A polyubiquitin chain plays the role of the "label": degradation affects proteins conjugated with a ubiquitin (Ub) chain that consists at minimum of four molecules. Upon entering the proteasome channel, the polypeptide chain of the protein unfolds and stretches along it, being hydrolyzed to short peptides. Ubiquitin per se does not get into the proteasome, but, after destruction of the "labeled" molecule, it is released and labels another molecule. This process has been named "Ub-dependent protein degradation". In this review we systematize current data on the Ub-proteasome system, describe in detail proteasome structure, the ubiquitination system, and the classical ATP/Ub-dependent mechanism of protein degradation, as well as try to focus readers' attention on the existence of alternative mechanisms of proteasomal degradation and processing of proteins. Data on damages of the proteasome system that lead to the development of different diseases are given separately.

Abstract
A novel fish muscle serine protease named muscle soluble serine protease (MSSP) was purified from the soluble fraction of lizard fish (Saurida undosquamis: Synodontidae) muscle by ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by four steps of column chromatographies. In native-PAGE, the purified enzyme appeared as a single band with an estimated mol. mass of approximately 380 kDa by gel filtration. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the purified enzyme migrated as two protein bands at 110 and 100 kDa, named subunits A and B, respectively. The 20 residues of N-terminal amino acid sequence of subunit B showed 70% of homology to beta-chain of carp alpha(2)-macroglobulin-1. Moreover, both subunits A and B showed immunoreactivity with anti carp alpha(2)-macroglobulin antibody. Purified MSSP was inactivated by Pefabloc SC, aprotinin, benzamidine and TLCK, but not by alpha(1)-antitrypsin. After acid treatment (pH 2, 24 h), however, the enzyme activity eluted at 14 kDa from Sephacryl S-200 carried out under acidic conditions was inhibited by alpha(1)-antitrypsin. Lizard fish MSSP most rapidly hydrolyzed Boc-Val-Pro-Arg-MCA and Boc-Gln-Arg-Arg-MCA, but did not hydrolyzed Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-MCA and Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-MCA, and was not suppressed either by E-64, pepstatin A and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). These results indicate that the purified MSSP is a serine protease complexed with alpha(2)-macroglobulin, and the entrapped protease was dissociated by the acid treatment. Purified and free MSSPs were most active at pH 10.0 and 9.0, respectively. Purified MSSP degraded myofibrillar proteins and casein but time courses of degradation of these substrates by the enzyme differed.

Abstract
The final destination of the majority of proteins that have to be selectively degraded in eukaryotic cells is the proteasome, a highly sophisticated nanomachine essential for life. 26S proteasomes select target proteins via their modification with polyubiquitin chains or, in rare cases, by the recognition of specific motifs. They are made up of different subcomplexes, a 20S core proteasome harboring the proteolytic active sites hidden within its barrel-like structure and two 19S caps that execute regulatory functions. Similar complexes equipped with PA28 regulators instead of 19S caps are a variation of this theme specialized for the production of antigenic peptides required in immune response. Structure analysis as well as extensive biochemical and genetic studies of the 26S proteasome and the ubiquitin system led to a basic model of substrate recognition and degradation. Recent work raised new concepts. Additional factors involved in substrate acquisition and delivery to the proteasome have been discovered. Moreover, first insights in the tasks of individual subunits or subcomplexes of the 19S caps in substrate recognition and binding as well as release and recycling of polyubiquitin tags have been obtained.

Abstract
Myofibril-bound serine protease (MBSP) from lizard fish (SAURIDA UNDOSQUAMIS: Synodontidae) skeletal muscle was purified to homogeneity with higher purification (1260-fold) and higher recovery (7%) than our previous report in lizard fish (Saurida wanieso). The new purification method combines a heat-treatment for dissociation from washed myofibrils, acid-treatment at pH 5.0 before and after lyophilization, and alcohol-treatment, followed by two column chromatographies. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 50 kDa under non-reducing conditions and 28 kDa under reducing conditions by SDS-PAGE. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the MBSP was determined to be 22 residues (IVGGYEXEAYSKPYQVSINLGY) and the sequence showed high homology to carp and other fish trypsins (64-77%), but did not show high homology to carp MBSP (41%). The enzyme activity was inhibited by serine protease inhibitors such as Pefabloc SC, leupeptin, TLCK and native protein inhibitors (soybean trypsin inhibitor, alpha(1)-antitrypsin and aprotinin). The purified enzyme specifically hydrolyzed at the carboxyl side of the arginine residue of synthetic 4-methyl-coumaryl-7-amide substrate. When purified MBSP was stored at -35 degrees C in the presence of 50% ethylene glycol (V/V), the enzyme activity was entirely preserved over 6 months and stable against freezing and thawing. Activities for both casein and the synthetic substrate were most active at pH 9.0, and the enzyme was most active approximately 55 degrees C with casein and between 35 and 45 degrees C for synthetic substrate. When myofibrils were incubated with purified MBSP, myosin heavy chain was mostly degraded approximately 55 degrees C, but the degradation of actin was very slow.

Abstract
Some of the most fundamental yet important cellular activities such as cell division and gene expression are controlled by short-lived regulatory proteins. The levels of these proteins are controlled by their rates of degradation. Similarly, protein catabolism plays a crucial role in prolonging cellular life by destroying damaged proteins that are potentially cytotoxic. A major player in these catabolic reactions is the ubiquitin-proteasome system, a novel proteolytic system that has become the primary proteolytic pathway in eukaryotic cells. Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis is now regarded as the major pathway by which most intracellular proteins are destroyed. Equally important, from a toxicological standpoint, is that the ubiquitin-proteasome system is also widely considered to be a cellular defense mechanism, since it is involved in the removal of damaged proteins generated by adduct formation and oxidative stress. This review describes the history and the components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, its regulation and its role in pathological states, with the major emphasis on ethanol-induced organ injury. The available literature cited here deals mainly with the effects of ethanol consumption on the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in the liver. However, since this proteolytic system is an essential pathway in all cells it is an attractive experimental model and therapeutic target in extrahepatic organs such as the brain and heart that are also affected by excessive alcohol consumption.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, most proteins in the cytosol and nucleus are degraded via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The 26S proteasome is a 2.5-MDa molecular machine built from approximately 31 different subunits, which catalyzes protein degradation. It contains a barrel-shaped proteolytic core complex (the 20S proteasome), capped at one or both ends by 19S regulatory complexes, which recognize ubiquitinated proteins. The regulatory complexes are also implicated in unfolding and translocation of ubiquitinated targets into the interior of the 20S complex, where they are degraded to oligopeptides. Structure, assembly and enzymatic mechanism of the 20S complex have been elucidated, but the functional organization of the 19S complex is less well understood. Most subunits of the 19S complex have been identified, however, specific functions have been assigned to only a few. A low-resolution structure of the 26S proteasome has been obtained by electron microscopy, but the precise arrangement of subunits in the 19S complex is unclear.

Abstract
Proteasomes are large, multisubunit proteases with highly conserved structures. The 26S proteasome of eukaryotes is an ATP-dependent enzyme of about 2 MDa, which acts as the central protease of the ubiquitin-dependent pathway of protein degradation. The core of the 26S complex is formed by the 20S proteasome, an ATP-independent, barrel-shaped protease of about 700 kDa, which has also been detected in archaebacteria and, more recently, in eubacteria. Currently, the distribution of 20S proteasomes in eubacteria appears limited to the actinomycetes, while most other eubacteria contain a related complex of simpler structure.

Abstract
A high molecular mass alkaline proteinase was purified by DEAE-Sepharose and Mono Q chromatography. The mol. wt was estimated to be about 600,000. Under denaturing conditions, the enzyme dissociated into a cluster of subunits with mol. wt ranging from 25,000 to 30,000. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was about pH 7.3. The proteinase was able to hydrolyse N-terminal-blocked 4-methyl-7-coumarylamide substrates for either trypsin- or chymotrypsin-like activity. It was also able to hydrolyse haemoglobin and myosin at temperatures of about 60 degrees C. The activities responded to pH and some chemicals in different ways. The trypsin-like activity was clearly inhibited by several serine protease inhibitors. These results suggest that the enzyme is multicatalytic, having at least two different active sites.

Abstract
Proteasomes are large multicatalytic protease complexes which fulfill central functions in major proteolytic pathways of the eukaryotic cell. Two types of proteasomes are known: the cylindrically shaped 20S proteasome (700 kDa) and the 26S proteasome (1700 kDa) which contains the 20S proteasome as a functional core. Proteasomes are needed for stress-dependent and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. They are involved in degradation of abnormal, short-lived, and regulatory proteins. Proteasomes are important for cell differentiation and adaptation to environmental changes. Proteasomes have been shown to function in the control of the cell cycle and are suggested to be involved in antigen presentation by processing of intracellular proteins to antigenic peptides.

Abstract
The catalytic mechanism of the 20S proteasome from the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum has been analyzed by site-directed mutagenesis of the beta subunit and by inhibitor studies. Deletion of the amino-terminal threonine or its mutation to alanine led to inactivation of the enzyme. Mutation of the residue to serine led to a fully active enzyme, which was over ten times more sensitive to the serine protease inhibitor 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin. In combination with the crystal structure of a proteasome-inhibitor complex, the data show that the nucleophilic attack is mediated by the amino-terminal threonine of processed beta subunits. The conservation pattern of this residue in eukaryotic sequences suggests that at least three of the seven eukaryotic beta-type subunit branches should be proteolytically inactive.

Abstract
Similar to all other eukaryotic cells and tissues muscle tissue contains the proteolytic system of 20S/26S proteasomes with the 20S proteasome existing predominantly in a latent state. Unlike with the mammalian enzyme in vitro transition from the latent to the activated state of the 20S proteasomes isolated from muscle of several fish species and from lobster can be achieved by heat shock. It is very likely that the activated state of the 20S proteasome corresponds to the physiologically active form of the enzyme since only that one is able to attack sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins to any significant extent. As perfusion of rat hindquarters with presumptive low molecular mass activators like free fatty acids does not result in an activation of the muscle proteasome other--possibly protein activators--may serve this purpose in vivo. The 26S proteasome complex may be regarded as such a proteasome/activator complex. The 26S proteasome complex has the ability to degrade protein (-ubiquitin-conjugates) by an ATP-consuming reaction. Since increased amounts of ubiquitinated proteins as well as an enhanced activity of the ATP (-ubiquitin)-dependent proteolytic system have been measured in rat muscle tissue during various catabolic conditions, it is not unlikely that this pathway is responsible for catalysis of muscle protein breakdown.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is the central protease of the ubiquitin-dependent pathway of protein degradation. The molecule has a molecular mass of approximately 2000 kD and has a highly conserved structure in eukaryotes. The 26S proteasome is formed by a barrel-shaped 20S core complex and two polar 19S complexes. The 20S complex has C2 symmetry and is formed by four seven-membered rings of which the outer rings (alpha-type subunits) are rotated by 25.7 degrees relative to the inner rings while the inner rings (beta-type subunits) are in register. From a comparison of the activity and regulation of the 26S and 20S particles it can be deduced that the 20S particle contains the protease activity while the 19S complex contains isopeptidase, ATPase and protein unfolding activities. In this article we describe the structures of various proteasome complexes as determined by electron microscopy and discuss structural implications of their subunit sequences.

Abstract
1. Heat-stable alkaline proteinase (HAP) showed a wide distribution in fish, avian and mammalian muscles, while the total activity varied among animal species. 2. Total activity of HAP was changeable according to the degree of maturation in the case of chum salmon. 3. Effect of NaCl on HAPs varied among animal species. 4. It seems likely that the different sensitivity of HAPs to NaCl reflects the difference in the living circumstances of each animal species. 5. It is also postulated that the different sensitivity of HAPs to NaCl reflects the conformational diversity of the regulatory structure of HAP among animal species.

Abstract
Proteinase II, a high-molecular-mass proteinase previously identified in white croaker skeletal muscle, was purified to apparent homogeneity by DEAE-Sephacel, phenyl-Sepharose CL 4B, and Sephacryl S-300 chromatographies. Under denaturing conditions, the enzyme dissociated into a cluster of subunits with Mr ranging from 18,000 to 26,000 and a large subunit with a Mr 60,000. The proteinase was able to hydrolyze N-terminal-blocked 4-methyl-7-coumarylamide substrates having either an aromatic amino acid (chymotrypsin-like activity) or an arginine residue (trypsin-like activity) adjacent to the fluorogenic group. The trypsin-like activity of the enzyme was inhibited by fatty acids and sodium dodecyl sulfate, whereas the chymotrypsin-like activity was stimulated by those compounds but inhibited by nonionic and cationic detergents. Several thiol reagents inhibited both proteinase II activities. However, leupeptin and Cu2+ strongly inhibited its trypsin-like activity but only slightly affected its chymotrypsin-like activity. Dithiothreitol stimulated both activities, but at different extents and in different concentration ranges. These results suggest that the enzyme is multicatalytic, having at least two different active sites.

Abstract
Enzymes can be regulated in a variety of ways. Readily reversible mechanisms, such as phosphorylation, are frequently used by cells to control metabolic pathways. Less often, enzyme levels are regulated by changing the rate at which the protein is destroyed. Although these changes, too, are reversible through protein synthesis, large variations in enzyme concentration can be produced in very short periods of time by combinations of transcriptional control, translational control and rapid degradation. We recently examined the primary sequences of proteins whose intracellular half-lives are less than two hours. With a single exception, each short-lived protein contains one or more regions rich in proline (P), glutamic acid (E), serine (S) and threonine (T). These PEST regions range in length from 12 to 60 residues, and they are often flanked by possibly charged amino acids. Similar inspection of 35 more stable, structurally characterized proteins revealed only three weak PEST regions. All PEST proteins appear to be important regulatory molecules, and their fast turnover surely reflects a metabolic requirement for rapid changes in their concentrations. Known PEST proteins include oncogene products, key enzymes and components of signal pathways. In addition, there are a number of PEST-containing proteins that are suspected of being rapidly degraded. These proteins include Drosophila homeotic proteins (e.g., notch, snake, caudal, ftz and even-skipped) and a host of yeast cdc mutants. PEST regions, which target the molecules containing them for destruction, thus appear to be widely distributed among metabolically unstable proteins.

Abstract
1. The alkaline proteinase showing pH optimum 8.0 from white croaker (Sciaena schlegeli) skeletal muscle was purified electrophoretically homogeneously (2000-fold) using a combination of DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography and Ultrogel AcA 34 gel filtration. 2. It was stable for 1 hr at 50 degrees C. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 430,000 by gel filtration, with the enzyme composed of four kinds of subunits, the chain molecular weights of which were 45,000, 48,000, 51,000 and 57,000. 3. From the effects of inhibitors, the enzyme was identified as cysteine proteinase. ATP and Cu2+ inhibited the activity 50% at 10 mM and 70% at 0.1 mM, respectively. 4. Thus the enzyme was characterized as a high molecular weight, heat-stable, alkaline cysteine proteinase (HAP). 5. The enzyme showed hardly any activity below 50 degrees C but considerable activity at around 60 degrees C against myofibrils, digesting myosin heavy chain, actin and tropomyosin. With the addition of 5 M urea the enzyme hydrolyzed myofibrils well at around 30 degrees C.

Abstract
The enzyme responsible for the succinylleucylleucylvalyltyrosine methylcoumarylamide- (SLLVT-) degrading activity was purified from the postmitochondrial supernatant of rat liver (Yamamoto, T., Nojima, M., Ishiura, S. and Sugita, H. (1986) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 882, 297-304). The enzyme, named ingensin, was activated by saturated fatty acids, especially myristic acid, as well as by unsaturated linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. Although 2-mercaptoethanol activated ingensin 2-fold and p-chloromercuribenzoate and HgCl2 completely inhibited its peptide-hydrolyzing activity, the enzyme is activated by the addition of a thiol-blocking reagent, monoiodoacetic acid. Ingensin was also inhibited by a specific serine proteinase inhibitor, diisopropyl fluorophosphate, but not by a specific cysteine proteinase inhibitor, E-64-c. These results suggest that the enzyme is a serine proteinase with an active thiol group(s) near the active site. We have found that the addition of glycerol and nordihydroguaiaretic acid lowered the extent of its activation by fatty acids as well as its intrinsic peptide-hydrolyzing activity.

Abstract
1. Intracellular distribution of a muscle alkaline proteinase was investigated on four kinds of fish. 2. The total activity of the muscle proteinase of carp, Cyprinus carpio, was larger in both myofibrillar (Mf) and microsomal (Mic) fractions than the activity in mitochondrial, lysosomal, and supernatant fractions. The activity found in Mf fraction seemed to due to the Mic enzyme which was not separated from Mf fraction. 3. The relative specific activity was mostly found in Mic fraction in the species tested. 4. The results indicate that the distribution pattern of fish muscle alkaline proteinase is different from those of cathepsin D and acid phosphatase. 5. The Mic fraction hydrolyzed Mf and sarcoplasmic proteins. The rates were 40 and 55%, respectively, of the rate when casein was used as a substrate.
