Abstract
The fundamental importance of the 26S proteasome in health and disease suggests that its function must be finely controlled, and yet our knowledge about proteasome regulation remains limited. Posttranslational modifications, especially phosphorylation, of proteasome subunits have been shown to impact proteasome function through different mechanisms, although the vast majority of proteasome phosphorylation events have not been studied. Here, we have characterized 1 of the most frequently detected proteasome phosphosites, namely Ser361 of Rpn1, a base subunit of the 19S regulatory particle. Using a variety of approaches including CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing and quantitative mass spectrometry, we found that loss of Rpn1-S361 phosphorylation reduces proteasome activity, impairs cell proliferation, and causes oxidative stress as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. A screen of the human kinome identified several kinases including PIM1/2/3 that catalyze S361 phosphorylation, while its level is reversibly controlled by the proteasome-resident phosphatase, UBLCP1. Mechanistically, Rpn1-S361 phosphorylation is required for proper assembly of the 26S proteasome, and we have utilized a genetic code expansion system to directly demonstrate that S361-phosphorylated Rpn1 more readily forms a precursor complex with Rpt2, 1 of the first steps of 19S base assembly. These findings have revealed a prevalent and biologically important mechanism governing proteasome formation and function.

Cellular Responses to Proteasome Inhibition: Molecular Mechanisms and Beyond. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20143379.

Abstract
Proteasome inhibitors have been actively tested as potential anticancer drugs and in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Unfortunately, cells adapt to survive in the presence of proteasome inhibitors activating a variety of cell responses that explain why these therapies have not fulfilled their expected results. In addition, all proteasome inhibitors tested and approved by the FDA have caused a variety of side effects in humans. Here, we describe the different types of proteasome complexes found within cells and the variety of regulators proteins that can modulate their activities, including those that are upregulated in the context of inflammatory processes. We also summarize the adaptive cellular responses activated during proteasome inhibition with special emphasis on the activation of the Autophagic-Lysosomal Pathway (ALP), proteaphagy, p62/SQSTM1 enriched-inclusion bodies, and proteasome biogenesis dependent on Nrf1 and Nrf2 transcription factors. Moreover, we discuss the role of IRE1 and PERK sensors in ALP activation during ER stress and the involvement of two deubiquitinases, Rpn11 and USP14, in these processes. Finally, we discuss the aspects that should be currently considered in the development of novel strategies that use proteasome activity as a therapeutic target for the treatment of human diseases.

Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis. However, proteasome dysregulation in chronic diseases is poorly understood. Through genome-wide cell-based screening using 5,500 cDNAs, a signaling pathway leading to NFκB activation was selected as an inhibitor of 26S proteasome. TNF-α increased S5b (HGNC symbol PSMD5; hereafter S5b/PSMD5) expression via NFκB, and the surplus S5b/PSMD5 directly inhibited 26S proteasome assembly and activity. Downregulation of S5b/PSMD5 abolished TNF-α-induced proteasome inhibition. TNF-α enhanced the interaction of S5b/PSMD5 with S7/PSMC2 in nonproteasome complexes, and interference of this interaction rescued TNF-α-induced proteasome inhibition. Transgenic mice expressing S5b/PSMD5 exhibited a reduced life span and premature onset of aging-related phenotypes, including reduced proteasome activity in their tissues. Conversely, S5b/PSMD5 deficiency in Drosophila melanogaster ameliorated the tau rough eye phenotype, enhanced proteasome activity, and extended the life span of tau flies. These results reveal the critical role of S5b/PSMD5 in negative regulation of proteasome by TNF-α/NFκB and provide insights into proteasome inhibition in human disease.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome, a molecular machine responsible for regulated protein degradation, consists of a proteolytic core particle (20S CP) associated with 19S regulatory particles (19S RPs) subdivided into base and lid subcomplexes. The assembly of 19S RP base subcomplex is mediated by multiple dedicated chaperones. Among these, Hsm3 is important for normal growth and directly targets the carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) domain of Rpt1 of the Rpt1-Rpt2-Rpn1 assembly intermediate. Here, we report crystal structures of the yeast Hsm3 chaperone free and bound to the C-terminal domain of Rpt1. Unexpectedly, the structure of the complex suggests that within the Hsm3-Rpt1-Rpt2 module, Hsm3 also contacts Rpt2. We show that in both yeast and mammals, Hsm3 actually directly binds the AAA domain of Rpt2. The Hsm3 C-terminal region involved in this interaction is required in vivo for base assembly, although it is dispensable for binding Rpt1. Although Rpt1 and Rpt2 exhibit weak affinity for each other, Hsm3 unexpectedly acts as an essential matchmaker for the Rpt1-Rpt2-Rpn1 assembly by bridging both Rpt1 and Rpt2. In addition, we provide structural and biochemical evidence on how Hsm3/S5b may regulate the 19S RP association to the 20S CP proteasome. Our data point out the diverse functions of assembly chaperones.

Abstract
Substrates tagged with (poly)ubiquitin for degradation can be targeted directly to the 26 S proteasome where they are proteolyzed. Independently, ubiquitin conjugates may also be delivered by bivalent shuttles. The majority of shuttles attach to the proteasome through a ubiquitin-like domain (UBL) while anchoring cargo at a C-terminal polyubiquitin-binding domain(s). We found that two shuttles of this class, Rad23 and Dsk2, dock at two different receptor sites embedded within a single subunit of the 19 S proteasome regulatory particle, Rpn1. Their association/dissociation constants and affinities for Rpn1 are similar. In contrast, another UBL-containing protein, the deubiquitinase Ubp6, is also anchored by Rpn1, yet it dissociates slower, thus behaving as an occasional proteasome subunit that is distinct from the transiently associated shuttles. Two neighboring subunits, Rpn10 and Rpn13, show a marked preference for polyubiquitin over UBLs. Rpn10 attaches to the central solenoid portion of Rpn1, although this association is stabilized by the presence of a third subunit, Rpn2. Rpn13 binds directly to Rpn2. These intrinsic polyubiquitin receptors may compete with substrate shuttles for their polyubiquitin-conjugate cargos, thereby aiding release of the emptied shuttles. By binding multiple ubiquitin-processing factors simultaneously, Rpn1 is uniquely suited to coordinate substrate recruitment, deubiquitination, and movement toward the catalytic core. The broad range of affinities for ubiquitin, ubiquitin-like, and non-ubiquitin signals by adjacent yet nonoverlapping sites all within the base represents a hub of activity that coordinates the intricate relay of substrates within the proteasome, and consequently it influences substrate residency time and commitment to degradation.

Abstract
The 26 S proteasome is a 2.5-MDa molecular machine that degrades ubiquitinated proteins in eukaryotic cells. It consists of a proteolytic core particle and two 19 S regulatory particles (RPs) composed of 6 ATPase (Rpt) and 13 non-ATPase (Rpn) subunits. Multiple proteasome-dedicated chaperones facilitate the assembly of the proteasome, but little is known about the detailed mechanisms. Hsm3, a 19 S RP dedicated chaperone, transiently binds to the C-terminal domain of the Rpt1 subunit and forms a tetrameric complex, Hsm3-Rpt1-Rpt2-Rpn1, during maturation of the ATPase ring of 19 S RP. To elucidate the structural basis of Hsm3 function, we determined the crystal structures of Hsm3 and its complex with the C-terminal domain of the Rpt1 subunit (Rpt1C). Hsm3 has a C-shaped structure that consists of 11 HEAT repeats. The structure of the Hsm3-Rpt1C complex revealed that the interacting surface between Hsm3 and Rpt1 is a hydrophobic core and a complementary charged surface. Mutations in the Hsm3-Rpt1 surface resulted in the assembly defect of the 26 S proteasome. Furthermore, a structural model of the Hsm3-Rpt ring complex and an in vitro binding assay suggest that Hsm3 can bind Rpt2 in addition to Rpt1. Collectively, our results provide the structural basis of the molecular functions of Hsm3 for the RP assembly.

Abstract
Protein ubiquitination via the covalent attachment of ubiquitin (Ub) plays an important role in the regulation of the stability, function or localization of multiple proteins in eukaryotic cells. Comprehensive investigation of the proteomics related to ubiquitination will gain the insight into the Ub-mediated regulatory mechanism. In the present study, the combination of polyUb affinity purification, SDS-PAGE separation, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis (GeLC-MS/MS) was employed to analyze the Ub-related proteins in human MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma epithelial cells after treatment with the proteasome inhibitor MG132. A total of 260 non-redundant Ub-related proteins were identified from the cells. These proteins were shown to be involved in a host of critical cellular functions and processes, including transcription, translation, Ub-proteasome pathway, cell cycle, heat shock response, transport, etc. The interaction network analysis by STRING indicated that the identified Ub-related proteins formed eleven clusters, the three most highly ranked network clusters were mainly involved in protein translation, RNA transcription and processing, and Ub-proteasome pathway, suggesting that there were obvious ubiquitination-mediated alternations in gene expression of human MDA-MB-231 cells. The proteomic profiling and their interaction network analysis in this study would help to our systematic understanding of the Ub-related cellular protein functions and the related biological processes in human disease tissue cells.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is a chambered protease in which the majority of selective cellular protein degradation takes place. Throughout evolution, access of protein substrates to chambered proteases is restricted and depends on AAA-ATPases. Mechanical force generated through cycles of ATP binding and hydrolysis is used to unfold substrates, open the gated proteolytic chamber and translocate the substrate into the active proteases within the cavity. Six distinct AAA-ATPases (Rpt1-6) at the ring base of the 19S regulatory particle of the proteasome are responsible for these three functions while interacting with the 20S catalytic chamber. Although high resolution structures of the eukaryotic 26S proteasome are not yet available, exciting recent studies shed light on the assembly of the hetero-hexameric Rpt ring and its consequent spatial arrangement, on the role of Rpt C-termini in opening the 20S 'gate', and on the contribution of each individual Rpt subunit to various cellular processes. These studies are illuminated by paradigms generated through studying PAN, the simpler homo-hexameric AAA-ATPase of the archaeal proteasome. The similarities between PAN and Rpts highlight the evolutionary conserved role of AAA-ATPase in protein degradation, whereas unique properties of divergent Rpts reflect the increased complexity and tighter regulation attributed to the eukaryotic proteasome.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is the end point of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and degrades ubiquitylated substrates. It is composed of the 20S core particle (CP), where degradation occurs, and the 19S regulatory particle (RP), which ensures substrate specificity of degradation. Whereas the CP is resolved to atomic resolution, the architecture of the RP is largely unknown. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the current structural knowledge on the RP, including structures of the RP subunits, physical protein-protein interactions, and cryoelectron microscopy data. These data allowed us to compute an atomic model for the CP-AAA-ATPase subcomplex. In addition to this atomic model, further subunits can be mapped approximately, which lets us hypothesize on the substrate path during its degradation.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is a large multiprotein complex involved in the regulated degradation of ubiquitinated proteins in the cell. The 26S proteasome has been shown to control an increasing number of essential biochemical mechanisms of the cellular lifecycle including DNA synthesis, repair, transcription, translation, and cell signal transduction. Concurrently, it is increasingly seen that malfunction of the ubiquitin proteasome system contributes to the pathogenesis of disease. The recent identification of four molecular chaperones, in addition to five previously identified chaperones, have provided mechanistic insight into how this cellular megastructure is assembled in the cell. These data, together with new insights into the structure and function of the proteasome, provide a much better understanding of this complex protease.

Abstract
Substrates of the proteasome are recognized and unfolded by the regulatory particle, and then translocated into the core particle (CP) to be degraded. A hetero-hexameric ATPase ring, containing subunits Rpt1-6, is situated within the base subassembly of the regulatory particle. The ATPase ring sits atop the CP, with the Rpt carboxy termini inserted into pockets in the CP. Here we identify a previously unknown function of the Rpt proteins in proteasome biogenesis through deleting the C-terminal residue from each Rpt in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our results indicate that assembly of the hexameric ATPase ring is templated on the CP. We have also identified an apparent intermediate in base assembly, BP1, which contains Rpn1, three Rpts and Hsm3, a chaperone for base assembly. The Rpt proteins with the strongest assembly phenotypes, Rpt4 and Rpt6, were absent from BP1. We propose that Rpt4 and Rpt6 form a nucleating complex to initiate base assembly, and that this complex is subsequently joined by BP1 to complete the Rpt ring. Our studies show that assembly of the proteasome base is a rapid yet highly orchestrated process.

Abstract
The proteasome regulatory particle (RP) initiates the degradation of ubiquitin-protein conjugates by unfolding the substrate and translocating it into the proteasome core particle (CP) to be degraded1. Here we show that in yeast three proteins are found associated with RP but not RP-CP holoenzyme: Nas6, Rpn14, and Hsm3. Mutations in these genes confer proteasome loss of function phenotypes, despite their virtual absence from holoenzyme. These effects result from deficient RP assembly. Thus, Nas6, Rpn14, and Hsm3 are RP chaperones. The RP contains six ATPases–the Rpt proteins–and each RP chaperone binds to the C-terminal domain of a specific Rpt. We show in an accompanying study2 that RP assembly is templated through the Rpt C-termini, apparently by their insertion into binding pockets in the CP. Thus, RP chaperones may regulate proteasome assembly by directly restricting the accessibility of Rpt C-termini to the CP. In addition, competition between the CP and RP chaperones for Rpt engagement may explain the release of RP chaperones as proteasomes mature.

Abstract
We have identified, purified, and characterized three subcomplexes of PA700, the 19 S regulatory complex of the 26 S proteasome. These subcomplexes (denoted PS-1, PS-2, and PS-3) collectively account for all subunits present in purified PA700 but contain no overlapping components or significant levels of non-PA700 proteins. Each subcomplex contained two of the six AAA subunits (Rpt1-6) that form the binding interface of PA700 with the 20 S proteasome, the protease component of the 26 S proteasome. Unlike intact PA700, no individual PA700 subcomplex displayed ATPase activity or proteasome activating activity. However, both activities were manifested by ATP-dependent in vitro reconstitution of PA700 from the subcomplexes. We exploited functional reconstitution to define and distinguish roles of different PA700 subunits in PA700 function by selective alteration of subunits within individual subcomplexes prior to reconstitution. Carboxypeptidase treatment of either PS-2 or PS-3, subcomplexes containing specific Rpt subunits previously shown to have important roles in 26 S proteasome assembly and activation, inhibited these processes but did not affect PA700 reconstitution or ATPase activity. Thus, the intact C termini of both subunits are required for 26 S proteasome assembly and activation but not for PA700 reconstitution. Surprisingly, carboxypeptidase treatment of PS-1 also inhibited 26 S proteasome assembly and activation upon reconstitution with untreated PS-2 and PS-3. These results suggest a previously unidentified role for other PA700 subunits in 26 S proteasome assembly and activation. Our results reveal relative structural and functional relationships among the AAA subunits of PA700 and new insights about mechanisms of 26 S proteasome assembly and activation.

Abstract
The central protease of eukaryotes, the 26S proteasome, has a 20S proteolytic core particle (CP) and an attached 19S regulatory particle (RP). The RP is further subdivided into lid and base subcomplexes. Little is known about RP assembly. Here, we show that four conserved assembly factors govern biogenesis of the yeast RP base. Nas2 forms a complex with the Rpt4 and Rpt5 ATPases and enhances 26S proteasome formation in vivo and in vitro. Other RP subcomplexes contain Hsm3, which is related to mammalian proteasome subunit S5b. Hsm3 also contributes to base assembly. Larger Hsm3-containing complexes include two additional proteins, Nas6 and Rpn14, which function as assembly chaperones as well. Specific deletion combinations affecting these four factors cause severe perturbations to RP assembly. Our results demonstrate that proteasomal RP biogenesis requires multiple, functionally overlapping chaperones and suggest a model in which subunits form specific subcomplexes that then assemble into the base.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome, the central enzyme of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, is comprised of the 20S catalytic core particle (CP) and the 19S regulatory particle (RP), itself composed of two subcomplexes, the base and the lid. 20S proteasome assembly is assisted by several chaperones. Integral subunits of the RP participate in its assembly, but no external factors have been identified so far. Here we characterize the yeast Hsm3 protein, which displays unique features regarding 19S assembly. Hsm3 associates with 19S subcomplexes via a carboxy-terminal domain of the Rpt1 base subunit but is missing in the final 26S proteasome. Moreover, Hsm3 is specifically required for the base subcomplex assembly. Finally, we identify the putative species-specific 19S subunit S5b as a functional homolog of the Hsm3 chaperone in mammals. These findings shed light on chaperone-assisted proteasome assembly in eukaryotes.

Electron microscopic evidence in support of alpha-solenoid models of proteasomal subunits Rpn1 and Rpn2. J Mol Biol 2009; 386:1204-11.

Abstract
Rpn1 (109 kDa) and Rpn2 (104 kDa) are components of the 19S regulatory complex of the proteasome. The central portions of both proteins are predicted to have toroidal alpha-solenoid folds composed of 9-11 proteasome/cyclosome repeats, each approximately 40 residues long and containing two alpha-helices and turns [A. V. Kajava, J. Biol. Chem. 277, 49791-49798, 2002]. To evaluate this prediction, we examined the full-length yeast proteins and truncated versions thereof consisting only of the repeat-containing regions by gel filtration, CD spectroscopy, and negative-staining electron microscopy (EM). All four proteins are monomeric in solution and highly alpha-helical, particularly the truncated ones. The EM data were analyzed by image classification and averaging techniques. The preponderant projections, in each case, show near-annular molecules 6-7 nm in diameter. Comparison of the full-length with the truncated proteins showed molecules similar in size and shape, indicating that their terminal regions are flexible and thus smeared to invisibility in the averaged images. We tested the toroidal model further by calculating resolution-limited projections and comparing them with the EM images. The results support the alpha-solenoid model, except that they indicate that the repeats are organized not as symmetrical circular toroids but in less regular horseshoe-like structures.

Abstract
The PAN (proteasome-activating nucleotidase) proteins from archaea represent homologues of the eukaryotic 26S proteasome regulatory ATPases. In vitro the PAN complex has been previously shown to have a stimulatory effect on the peptidase activities of the 20S core. By using gradient ultracentrifugation we found that, in cellular extracts, the two PAN proteins from Halobacterium do not form stable high-molecular-mass complexes. Only PAN B was found to associate transiently with the 20S proteasome, thus suggesting that the two PAN proteins are not functionally redundant. The PAN B-20S proteasome complexes associate in an ATP-dependent manner and are stabilized upon nucleotide binding. The two PAN proteins were immunodetected in cellular extracts as N-terminal-truncated polypeptides. RNA-mapping experiments and sequence analysis indicated that this process involved transcript heterogeneities and dual translational initiation mechanisms. Taken together, our results suggest that PAN N-terminal modifications and their intracellular dynamics of assembly/association may constitute important determinants of proteolysis regulation.

Abstract
FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38) is a member of the immunophilin family that resides in the mitochondrial outer membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. To investigate the physiological function of FKBP38, we performed a comprehensive search for proteins with which it interacts in human cells by liquid chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis of FKBP38 immunoprecipitates. Almost all subunits of the 26S proteasome were thus found to interact with FKBP38. In vivo co-immunoprecipitation analyses confirmed that FKBP38 indeed associates with the 26S proteasome via its three tandem tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs). Binding assays in vitro also revealed that FKBP38 directly interacts with the S4 subunit of the 19S proteasome. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that the subcellular distributions of FKBP38 and the 26S proteasome partially overlapped at mitochondria. Both the abundance and activity of the proteasome in a membrane fraction were markedly reduced for mouse embryonic fibroblasts prepared from Fkbp38(-/-) mice compared with those prepared from wild-type mice. These results suggest that FKBP38 functions to anchor the 26S proteasome at the organellar membrane.

Abstract
The ubiquitin ligase Hul5 was recently identified as a component of the proteasome, a multisubunit protease that degrades ubiquitin-protein conjugates. We report here a proteasome-dependent conjugating activity of Hul5 that endows proteasomes with the capacity to extend ubiquitin chains. hul5 mutants show reduced degradation of multiple proteasome substrates in vivo, suggesting that the polyubiquitin signal that targets substrates to the proteasome can be productively amplified at the proteasome. However, the products of Hul5 conjugation are subject to disassembly by a proteasome-bound deubiquitinating enzyme, Ubp6. A hul5 null mutation suppresses a ubp6 null mutation, suggesting that a balance of chain-extending and chain-trimming activities is required for proper proteasome function. As the association of Hul5 with proteasomes was found to be strongly stabilized by Ubp6, these enzymes may be situated in proximity to one another. We propose that through dynamic remodeling of ubiquitin chains, proteasomes actively regulate substrate commitment to degradation.

Abstract
We present the first analysis of the human proteome with regard to interactions between proteins. We also compare the human interactome with the available interaction datasets from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), worm (Caenorhabditis elegans) and fly (Drosophila melanogaster). Of >70,000 binary interactions, only 42 were common to human, worm and fly, and only 16 were common to all four datasets. An additional 36 interactions were common to fly and worm but were not observed in humans, although a coimmunoprecipitation assay showed that 9 of the interactions do occur in humans. A re-examination of the connectivity of essential genes in yeast and humans indicated that the available data do not support the presumption that the number of interaction partners can accurately predict whether a gene is essential. Finally, we found that proteins encoded by genes mutated in inherited genetic disorders are likely to interact with proteins known to cause similar disorders, suggesting the existence of disease subnetworks. The human interaction map constructed from our analysis should facilitate an integrative systems biology approach to elucidating the cellular networks that contribute to health and disease states.

Abstract
We reported previously that the human RNF2 (RING finger protein 2) protein is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that interacts with the human ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Hip-2/hE2-25K. In the present study, we show that RNF2 interacts with S6' ATPase, a subunit of the proteasomal 19 S regulatory complex. S6' interacts with RNF2 through its N-terminal RING domain, and RNF2 interacts with S6' through its C-terminal region. Interestingly, the RNF2-S6' interaction increases the ATP hydrolysis activity of the S6' protein. Moreover, S6' ATPase activity is highly increased in the presence of ubiquitinated proteins. The present study suggests that the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF2 might have a dual function: facilitating the ubiquitination of its target substrates and recruiting the substrates to the proteasome. Furthermore, ATP hydrolysis in the E3/proteasome complex might act as an important signal for the protein degradation pathway.

Abstract
Post-translational modification of proteins via the covalent attachment of Ubiquitin (Ub) plays an important role in the regulation of protein stability and function in eukaryotic cells. In the present study, we describe a novel method for identifying ubiquitinated proteins from a complex biological sample, such as a whole cell lysate, using a combination of immunoaffinity purification and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. We have demonstrated the applicability of this approach by identifying 70 ubiquitinated proteins from the human MCF-7 breast cancer cell line after treatment with the proteasome inhibitor MG132. This method will aid the study of protein ubiquitination and may be used as a tool for the discovery of novel biomarkers that are associated with disease progression.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is one of a group of neurodegenerative disorders caused by the pathological expansion of a glutamine tract. A hallmark of these so-called polyglutamine diseases is the presence of ubiquitylated inclusion bodies, which sequester various components of the 19S and 20S proteasomes. In addition, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been shown to be severely impaired in vitro in cells overexpressing mutant huntingtin. Thus, because of its fundamental housekeeping function, impairment of the UPS in neurons could contribute to neurotoxicity. We have recently proposed that the proteasome activator REGgamma could contribute to UPS impairment in polyglutamine diseases by suppressing the proteasomal catalytic sites responsible for cleaving Gln-Gln bonds. Capping of proteasomes with REGgamma could therefore contribute to a potential 'clogging' of the proteasome by pathogenic polyglutamines. We show here that genetic reduction of REGgamma has no effect on the well-defined neurological phenotype of R6/2 HD mice and does not affect inclusion body formation in the R6/2 brain. Surprisingly, we observe increased proteasomal 'chymotrypsin-like' activity in 13-week-old R6/2 brains relative to non-R6/2, irrespective of REGgamma levels. However, assays of 26S proteasome activity in mouse brain extracts reveal no difference in proteolytic activity regardless of R6/2 or REGgamma genotype. These findings suggest that REGgamma is not a viable therapeutic target in polyglutamine disease and that overall proteasome function is not impaired by trapped mutant polyglutamine in R6/2 mice.

Abstract
The halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii produces three different proteins (alpha1, alpha2, and beta) that assemble into at least two 20S proteasome isoforms. This work reports the cloning and sequencing of two H. volcanii proteasome-activating nucleotidase (PAN) genes (panA and panB). The deduced PAN proteins were 60% identical with Walker A and B motifs and a second region of homology typical of AAA ATPases. The most significant region of divergence was the N terminus predicted to adopt a coiled-coil conformation involved in substrate recognition. Of the five proteasomal proteins, the alpha1, beta, and PanA proteins were the most abundant. Differential regulation of all five genes was observed, with a four- to eightfold increase in mRNA levels as cells entered stationary phase. In parallel with this mRNA increase, the protein levels of PanB and alpha2 increased severalfold during the transition from exponential growth to stationary phase, suggesting that these protein levels are regulated at least in part by mechanisms that control transcript levels. In contrast, the beta and PanA protein levels remained relatively constant, while the alpha1 protein levels exhibited only a modest increase. This lack of correlation between the mRNA and protein levels for alpha1, beta, and PanA suggests posttranscriptional mechanisms are involved in regulating the levels of these major proteasomal proteins. Together these results support a model in which the cell regulates the ratio of the different 20S proteasome and PAN proteins to modulate the structure and ultimately the function of this central energy-dependent proteolytic system.

Abstract
In addition to its thirty or so core subunits, a number of accessory proteins associate with the 26 S proteasome presumably to assist in substrate degradation or to localize the enzyme within cells. Among these proteins is ecm29p, a 200-kDa yeast protein that contains numerous HEAT repeats as well as a putative VHS domain. Higher eukaryotes possess a well conserved homolog of yeast ecm29p, and we produced antibodies to three peptides in the human Ecm29 sequence. The antibodies show that Ecm29 is present exclusively on 26 S proteasomes in HeLa cells and that Ecm29 levels vary markedly among mouse organs. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy localizes Ecm29 to the centrosome and a subset of secretory compartments including endosomes, the ER and the ERGIC. Ecm29 is up-regulated 2-3-fold in toxinresistant mutant CHO cells exhibiting increased rates of ER-associated degradation. Based on these results we propose that Ecm29 serves to couple the 26 S proteasome to secretory compartments engaged in quality control and to other sites of enhanced proteolysis.

Abstract
The family of ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain proteins (UDPs) comprises a conserved group of proteins involved in a multitude of different cellular activities. However, recent studies on UBL-domain proteins indicate that these proteins appear to share a common property in their ability to interact with 26S proteasomes. The 26S proteasome is a multisubunit protease which is responsible for the majority of intracellular proteolysis in eukaryotic cells. Before degradation commences most proteins are first marked for destruction by being coupled to a chain of ubiquitin molecules. Some UBL-domain proteins catalyse the formation of ubiquitin-protein conjugates, whereas others appear to target ubiquitinated proteins for degradation and interact with chaperones. Hence, by binding to the 26S proteasome the UBL-domain proteins seem to tailor and direct the basic proteolytic functions of the particle to accommodate various cellular substrates.

Abstract
A proteolytic pathway in which attachment of a small protein, ubiquitin, marks the substrates for degradation by a multi-subunit complex called the proteasome has been shown to function in synaptic plasticity and in several other physiological processes of the nervous system. Attachment of ubiquitin to protein substrates occurs through a series of highly specific and regulated steps. Degradation by the proteasome is subject to multiple levels of regulation as well. How does the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway contribute to synaptic plasticity? Long-lasting, protein synthesis-dependent, changes in the synaptic strength occur through activation of molecular cascades in the nucleus in coordination with signaling events in specific synapses. Available evidence indicates that ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation has a role in the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity that operate in the nucleus as well as at the synapse. Since the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been shown to be versatile in having roles in addition to proteolysis in several other cellular processes relevant to synaptic plasticity, such as endocytosis and transcription, this pathway is highly suited for a localized role in the neuron. Because of its numerous roles, malfunctioning of this pathway leads to several diseases and disorders of the nervous system. In this review, I examine the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in detail and describe the role of regulated proteolysis in long-term synaptic plasticity. Also, using synaptic tagging theory of synapse-specific plasticity, I provide a model on the possible roles and regulation of local protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Abstract
Although adenovirus early region 1A (AdE1A) can modulate protein expression through its interaction with transcriptional regulators it can also influence the ability of the cell to degrade proteins by binding to components of the 26 S proteasome. We demonstrate here that AdE1A interacts with the S2 subunit of the 19 S regulatory complex in addition to the ATPase subunits S4 and S8 previously identified. S2 forms complexes with both the 13 and 12 S AdE1A proteins both in vivo and in vitro. Mutational analysis has shown direct binding through a short sequence toward the N terminus of conserved region 2 of AdE1A, which encompasses the LXCXE motif, involved in interaction with the pRb family of proteins. In vivo, additional contacts are made between AdE1A and proteasomal components, as well as within the proteasome, such that deletion of the N-terminal region of E1A as well as part of conserved region 2 is required to completely disrupt S2 binding. Mutation of AdE1A, which disrupts complex formation with S2, results in the loss of its ability to stabilize the p53 protein. Similarly down-regulation of S2 expression using small interfering RNAs leads to the inhibition of p53 degradation. These effects were observed in normally growing cells and those subjected to UV irradiation. Furthermore, AdE1A had no effect on the Mdm2-mediated ubiquitination of p53. We suggest therefore that interaction of AdE1A with S2, as well as with the ATPases S4 and S8, directly causes inhibition of proteasomal activity and consequent increase in the protein levels of p53.

Abstract
The alpha-helical solenoid proteins adopt a variety of elongated curved structures. They have been examined to identify the interactions that determine their curvature. A sequence pattern characteristic for strongly curved alpha-helical solenoids has been constructed and was found to match protein sequences containing the proteasome/cyclosome repeats. Based on this, a structural model of the repeat-containing domains of the Rpn1/S2 and Rpn2/S1 proteins, which represent the largest subunits of the 26 S proteasome, has been proposed. The model has a novel architecture resembling an alpha-helical toroid. Molecular modeling shows that these toroids have a central pore that would allow passage of an unfolded protein substrate through it. This implies that the Rpn1 and Rpn2 toroids are aligned along the common axial pores of the ATPase hexamer and form an "antechamber" of the 26 S proteasome. The proposed quaternary structure agrees with the available experimental data. It is suggested that the function of this antechamber is assistance to the ATPases in the unfolding of protein substrates prior to proteolysis. An evolutionary link between the PC repeat-containing proteins and tetratricopeptide repeat proteins is proposed.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-like proteins Rad23 and Dsk2 have recently been shown to be capable of binding both polyubiquitin chains and the 26S proteasome. The ubiquitin-like domains (Ubls) of Rad23 and Dsk2 are indispensable for their interaction with the 26S proteasome, but the proteasome subunits capable of binding the Ubl have not been identified. Here, we report that the Ubls of both Rad23 and Dsk2 can bind with the 19S regulatory particle (RP) of the 26S proteasome in vivo and in vitro. A competition assay using the respective Ubls of Rad23 and Dsk2 revealed that they bind to the RP in a competitive manner. The base subcomplex of the RP was found to have the ability to bind the Ubl. By cross-linking experiments, Rpn1 and Rpn2 were identified as Ubl-binding subunits. Taken together, the results suggest that the Rpn1 and Rpn2 in the base subcomplex form the receptor for the ubiquitin-like protein.

Abstract
Despite the fact that the composition of proteasomes purified from different species is almost identical, and the basic components of the proteasome are remarkably conserved among all eukaryotes, there are quite a few additional proteins that show up in certain purifications or in certain screens. There is increasing evidence that the proteasome is in fact a dynamic structure forming multiple interactions with transiently associated subunits and cellular factors that are necessary for functions such as cellular localization, presentation of substrates, substrate-specific interactions, or generation of varied products. Harnessing the eukaryotic proteasome to its defined regulatory roles has been achieved by a number of means: (a) increasing the complexity of the proteasome by gene duplication, and differentiation of members within each gene family (namely the CP and RPT subunits); (b) addition of regulatory particles, complexes, and factors that influence both what enters and what exits the proteasome; and (c) signal-dependent alterations in subunit composition (for example, the CP beta to beta i exchange). It is not be surprising that the proteasome plays diverse roles, and that its specific functions can be fine-tuned depending on biological context or need.

Abstract
The subunit contacts in the regulatory complex of the Drosophila 26 S proteasome were studied through the cross-linking of closely spaced subunits of the complex, and analysis of the cross-linking pattern in an immunoblot assay with the use of subunit-specific monoclonal antibodies. The cross-linking pattern of the purified 26 S proteasome exhibits significant differences as compared with that of the purified free regulatory complex. It is shown that the observed differences are due to extensive rearrangement of the subunit contacts accompanying the assembly of the 26 S proteasome from the regulatory complex and the 20 S proteasome. Cross-linking studies and electron microscopic examinations revealed that these changes are reversible and follow the assembly or the disassembly of the 26 S proteasome. Although the majority of the changes observed in the subunit contacts affected the hexameric ring of the ATPase subunits, the alterations extended over the whole of the regulatory complex, affecting subunit contacts even in the lid subcomplex. Changes in the subunit contacts, similar to those in the regulatory complex, were detected in the 20 S proteasome. These observations indicate that the assembly of the 26 S proteasome is not simply a passive docking of two rigid subcomplexes. In the course of the assembly, the interacting subcomplexes mutually rearrange their structures so as to create the optimal conformation required for the assembly and the proper functioning of the 26 S proteasome.

Abstract
We have identified a novel 200 kDa nuclear protein that activates the proteasome. The protein, which we call PA200, has been purified to homogeneity from bovine testis and has been shown to activate proteasomal hydrolysis of peptides, but not proteins. Following gamma-irradiation of HeLa cells the uniform nuclear distribution of PA200 changes to a strikingly punctate pattern, a behavior characteristic of many DNA repair proteins. Homologs of PA200 are present in worms, plants and yeast. Others have shown that mutation of yeast PA200 results in hypersensitivity to bleomycin, and exposure of yeast to DNA damaging agents induces the PA200 message. Taken together, these findings implicate PA200 in DNA repair, possibly by recruiting proteasomes to double strand breaks.

Abstract
Between the 1960s and 1980s, most life scientists focused their attention on studies of nucleic acids and the translation of the coded information. Protein degradation was a neglected area, considered to be a nonspecific, dead-end process. Although it was known that proteins do turn over, the large extent and high specificity of the process, whereby distinct proteins have half-lives that range from a few minutes to several days, was not appreciated. The discovery of the lysosome by Christian de Duve did not significantly change this view, because it became clear that this organelle is involved mostly in the degradation of extracellular proteins, and their proteases cannot be substrate specific. The discovery of the complex cascade of the ubiquitin pathway revolutionized the field. It is clear now that degradation of cellular proteins is a highly complex, temporally controlled, and tightly regulated process that plays major roles in a variety of basic pathways during cell life and death as well as in health and disease. With the multitude of substrates targeted and the myriad processes involved, it is not surprising that aberrations in the pathway are implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, certain malignancies, and neurodegeneration among them. Degradation of a protein via the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway involves two successive steps: 1) conjugation of multiple ubiquitin moieties to the substrate and 2) degradation of the tagged protein by the downstream 26S proteasome complex. Despite intensive research, the unknown still exceeds what we currently know on intracellular protein degradation, and major key questions have remained unsolved. Among these are the modes of specific and timed recognition for the degradation of the many substrates and the mechanisms that underlie aberrations in the system that lead to pathogenesis of diseases.

Abstract
A yeast two-hybrid screen with the human S6 (TBP7, RPT3) ATPase of the 26 S proteasome has identified gankyrin, a liver oncoprotein, as an interacting protein. Gankyrin interacts with both free and regulatory complex-associated S6 ATPase and is not stably associated with the 26 S particle. Deletional mutagenesis shows that the C-terminal 78 amino acids of the S6 ATPase are necessary and sufficient to mediate the interaction with gankyrin. Deletion of an orthologous gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggests that it is dispensable for cell growth and viability. Overexpression and precipitation of tagged gankyrin from cultured cells detects a complex containing co-transfected tagged S6 ATPase (or endogenous S6) and endogenous cyclin D-dependent kinase CDK4. The proteasomal ATPases are part of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family, members of which are molecular chaperones; gankyrin complexes may therefore influence CDK4 function during oncogenesis.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome, a protein complex consisting of a 20S proteasome and a pair of 19S regulatory particles (RP), is involved in ATP-dependent proteolysis in eukaryotes. In yeast, the RP contains six different ATPase subunits and, at least, 11 non-ATPase subunits. In this study, we identified the rice homologs of yeast RP subunit genes from the rice expressed sequence tag (EST) library. The complete nucleotide sequences of the homologs for five ATPase subunits, OsRpt1, OsRpt2, OsRpt4, OsRpt5 and OsRpt6, and five non-ATPase subunits, OsRpn7, OsRpn8, OsRpn10, OsRpn11 and OsRpn12, and the partial sequences of one ATPase subunit, OsRpt3, and six non-ATPase subunits, OsRpn1, OsRpn2, OsRpn3, OsRpn5, OsRpn6 and OsRpn9, were determined. Gene homologs of four ATPase subunits, OsRpt1, OsRpt2, OsRpt4 and OsRpt5, and three non- ATPase subunits, OsRpn1, OsRpn2 and OsRpn9, were found to be encoded by duplicated genes. The rice RP was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography with a Protein A column immobilized antibody against rice 20S proteasome, and the subunit composition was determined. The homologs obtained from the rice EST library were identified as genes encoding subunits of RP purified from rice, including the both products of duplicated genes by using electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Post-translational modifications and processing in rice RP subunits were also identified. Various types of RP complex with different subunit compositions are present in rice cells, suggesting the multiple functions of rice proteasome.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome plays a major role in eukaryotic protein breakdown, especially for ubiquitin-tagged proteins. Substrate specificity is conferred by the regulatory particle (RP), which can dissociate into stable lid and base subcomplexes. To help define the molecular organization of the RP, we tested all possible paired interactions among subunits from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by yeast two-hybrid analysis. Within the base, a Rpt4/5/3/6 interaction cluster was evident. Within the lid, a structural cluster formed around Rpn5/11/9/8. Interactions were detected among synonymous subunits (Csn4/5/7/6) from the evolutionarily related COP9 signalosome (CSN) from Arabidopsis, implying a similar quaternary arrangement. No paired interactions were detected between lid, base or core particle subcomplexes, suggesting that stable contacts between them require prior assembly. Mutational analysis defined the ATPase, coiled-coil, PCI and MPN domains as important for RP assembly. A single residue in the vWA domain of Rpn10 is essential for amino acid analog resistance, for degrading a ubiquitin fusion degradation substrate and for stabilizing lid-base association. Comprehensive subunit interaction maps for the 26S proteasome and CSN support the ancestral relationship of these two complexes.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, the majority of proteins are degraded via the ATP-dependent ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway. The proteasome is the proteolytic component of the pathway. It is a very large complex with a mass of around 2.5 MDa, consisting of at least 62 proteins encoded by 31 genes. The eukaryotic proteasome has evolved from a simpler archaebacterial form, similar in structure but containing only three different peptides. One of these peptides is an ATPase belonging to the AAA (Triple-A) family of ATPASES: Gene duplication and diversification has resulted in six paralogous ATPases being present in the eukaryotic proteasome. While sequence analysis studies clearly show that the six eukaryotic proteasomal ATPases have evolved from the single archaebacterial proteasomal ATPase, the deep node structures of the phylogenetic constructions lack resolution. Incorporating physical data to provide support for alternative phylogenetic hypotheses, we have constructed a model of a possible evolutionary history of the proteasomal ATPASES:

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is the major protease responsible for nonlysosomal protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. The enzyme is composed of two subparticles: the 20S proteasome, and a 19S regulatory particle (PA700) which binds to the ends of the 20S proteasome cylinder and accounts for ATP dependence and substrate specificity. Among the approximately 18 subunits of PA700 regulator, six are ATPases. The ATPases presumably recognize, unfold, and translocate substrates into the interior of the 26S proteasome. It is generally believed that the ATPases form a hexameric ring. By means of chemical cross-linking, immunoprecipitation, and blotting, we have determined that the ATPases are organized in the order S6-S6'-S10b-S8-S4-S7. Additionally, we found cross-links between the ATPase S10b and the 20S proteasome subunit alpha6. Together with the previously known interaction between S8 and alpha1 and between S4 and alpha7, these data establish the relative orientations of ATPases with respect to the 20S proteasome.

Abstract
Non-lysosomal protein degradation in eukaryotic cells involves a proteolytic complex referred to as 26S proteasome that consists of a 20S core particle and one or two 19S regulatory particles. We have cloned the gene RPN1 encoding Rpnl (regulatory-particle non-ATPase subunit 1), one of the largest subunits of proteasome, from Trypanosoma cruzi. It contains 2712 bp and encodes 904 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 98.2 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.2. The predicted amino acid sequence of the trypanosomatid Rpn1 shares 39.0 and 32.0% overall identities with human Rpn1 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Nas1 (non-ATPase subunit 1), an Rpn1 homolog, respectively, while the sequence identities among T. cruzi, Plasmodium falciparum, and Entamoeba histolytica Rpnl are approximately 30%. T. cruzi Rpn1 contains nine repeats of about 36 amino acid residues conserved in Rpn1s from various organisms. T. cruzi RPN1 is located on the 2300- and 1900-kb chromosomal DNA, displays a putative allelic variation as RPN1-1 and RPN1-2 with 98.8% identity between these two putative gene products, and is transcribed from both alleles at a comparable level throughout the three developmental stages of the parasite, epimastigotes, trypomastigotes, and amastigotes. The expression of the trypanosomatid Rpnl in the temperature-sensitive nas1 yeast mutant rescued the growth defect at the restrictive temperature, indicating that Rpn1 functions as a Nas1 and probably assembles into the 19S regulatory particle of the yeast 26S proteasome.

Abstract
We have identified the N-terminus of adenovirus early region 1A (AdE1A) as a region that can regulate the 26S proteasome. Specifically, in vitro and in vivo co-precipitation studies have revealed that the 19S regulatory components of the proteasome, Sug1 (S8) and S4, bind through amino acids (aa) 4-25 of Ad5 E1A. In vivo expression of wild-type (wt) AdE1A, in contrast to the N-terminal AdE1A mutant that does not bind the proteasome, reduces ATPase activity associated with anti-S4 immunoprecipitates relative to mock-infected cells. This reduction in ATPase activity correlates positively with the ability of wt AdE1A, but not the N-terminal deletion mutant, to significantly reduce the ability of HPV16 E6 to target p53 for ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. AdE1A/proteasomal complexes are present in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, suggesting that AdE1A interferes with both nuclear and cytoplasmic proteasomal degradation. We have also demonstrated that wt AdE1A and the N-terminal AdE1A deletion mutant are substrates for proteasomal-mediated degradation. AdE1A degradation is not, however, mediated through ubiquitylation, but is regulated through phosphorylation of residues within a C-terminal PEST region (aa 224-238).

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is the major non-lysosomal protease in eukaryotic cells. This multimeric enzyme is the integral component of the ubiquitin-mediated substrate degradation pathway. It consists of two subcomplexes, the 20S proteasome, which forms the proteolytic core, and the 19S regulator (or PA700), which confers ATP dependency and ubiquitinated substrate specificity on the enzyme. Recent biochemical and genetic studies have revealed many of the interactions between the 17 regulatory subunits, yielding an approximation of the 19S complex topology. Inspection of interactions of regulatory subunits with non-subunit proteins reveals patterns that suggest these interactions play a role in 26S proteasome regulation and localization.
