Abstract
Transcriptome-wide identification of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is a prerequisite for understanding the posttranscriptional gene regulation networks. However, proteomic profiling of RBPs has been mostly limited to polyadenylated mRNA-binding proteins, leaving RBPs on nonpoly(A) RNAs, including most noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and pre-mRNAs, largely undiscovered. Here we present a click chemistry-assisted RNA interactome capture (CARIC) strategy, which enables unbiased identification of RBPs, independent of the polyadenylation state of RNAs. CARIC combines metabolic labeling of RNAs with an alkynyl uridine analog and in vivo RNA-protein photocross-linking, followed by click reaction with azide-biotin, affinity enrichment, and proteomic analysis. Applying CARIC, we identified 597 RBPs in HeLa cells, including 130 previously unknown RBPs. These newly discovered RBPs can likely bind ncRNAs, thus uncovering potential involvement of ncRNAs in processes previously unknown to be ncRNA-related, such as proteasome function and intermediary metabolism. The CARIC strategy should be broadly applicable across various organisms to complete the census of RBPs.

Nuclear proteasomes carry a constitutive posttranslational modification which derails SDS-PAGE (but not CTAB-PAGE). BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-PROTEINS AND PROTEOMICS 2014; 1844:2222-8.

Abstract
We report that subunits of human nuclear proteasomes carry a previously unrecognised, constitutive posttranslational modification. Subunits with this modification are not visualised by SDS-PAGE, which is used in almost all denaturing protein gel electrophoresis. In contrast, CTAB-PAGE readily visualises such modified subunits. Thus, under most experimental conditions, with identical samples, SDS-PAGE yielded gel electrophoresis patterns for subunits of nuclear proteasomes which were misleading and strikingly different from those obtained with CTAB-PAGE. Initial analysis indicates a novel modification of a high negative charge with some similarity to polyADP-ribose, possibly explaining compatibility with (positively-charged) CTAB-PAGE but not (negatively-charged) SDS-PAGE and providing a mechanism for how nuclear proteasomes may interact with chromatin, DNA and other nuclear components.

Abstract
Regulated proteolysis plays important roles in cell physiology as well as in pathological conditions. In most of the cases, regulated proteolysis is carried out by the ubiquitin- and proteasome-dependent proteolytic system, which is also in charge of the bulk of cytoplasmic proteolysis. However, apoptosis or the process of programmed cell death is regulated by a different proteolytic system, i.e. by caspases, a family of specialized cysteine proteases. Nevertheless, there is plenty of evidence of a crosstalk between the apoptotic pathways and the ubiquitin and proteasome system, whose function in apoptosis appears to be very complex. Proteasome inhibitors induce apoptosis in multiple cell types, while in other they are relatively harmless or even prevent apoptosis induced by other stimuli. Proteasomes degrade specific proteins during apoptosis, but on the other hand some components of the proteasome system are degraded by caspases. The knowledge about the involvement of the ubiquitin- and proteasome-dependent system in apoptosis is already clinically exploited, since proteasome inhibitors are being tested as experimental drugs in the treatment of cancer and other pathological conditions, where manipulation of apoptosis is desirable.

Abstract
The proteasome, a multisubunit, multicatalytic proteinase complex, is attracting growing attention as the main intracellular, extralysosomal, proteolytic system involved in ubiquitin-(Ub) dependent and Ub-independent intracellular proteolysis. Its involvement in the mitotic cycle, and control of the half-life of most cellular proteins, functions absolutely necessary for cell growth and viability, make it an attractive target for researchers of intracellular metabolism and an important target for pharmacological intervention. The proteasome belongs to a new mechanistic class of proteases, the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolases, where the N-terminal threonine residue functions as the nucleophile. This minireview focuses on the three classical catalytic activities of the proteasome, designated chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, and peptidyl-glutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing in eukaryotes and also the activities of the more simple Archaebacteria and Eubacteria proteasomes. Other catalytic activities of the proteasome and their possible origin are also examined. The specificity of the catalytic components toward synthetic substrates, natural peptides, and proteins and their relationship to the catalytic centers are reviewed. Some unanswered questions and future research directions are suggested.

Abstract
In the past decade, the eubacterial group I chaperonin GroEL became the paradigm of a protein folding machine. More recently, electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography offered insights into the structure of the thermosome, the archetype of the group II chaperonins which also comprise the chaperonin from the eukaryotic cytosol TRiC. Some structural differences from GroEL were revealed, namely the existence of a built-in lid provided by the helical protrusions of the apical domains instead of a GroES-like co-chaperonin. These structural studies provide a framework for understanding the differences in the mode of action between the group II and the group I chaperonins. In vitro analyses of the folding of non-native substrates coupled to ATP binding and hydrolysis are progressing towards establishing a functional cycle for group II chaperonins. A protein complex called GimC/prefoldin has recently been found to cooperate with TRiC in vivo, and its characterization is under way.

Abstract
Proteasomes are large multisubunit proteases that are found in the cytosol, both free and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, and in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Their ubiquitous presence and high abundance in these compartments reflects their central role in cellular protein turnover. Proteasomes recognize, unfold, and digest protein substrates that have been marked for degradation by the attachment of a ubiquitin moiety. Individual subcomplexes of the complete 26S proteasome are involved in these different tasks: The ATP-dependent 19S caps are believed to unfold substrates and feed them to the actual protease, the 20S proteasome. This core particle appears to be more ancient than the ubiquitin system. Both prokaryotic and archaebacterial ancestors have been identified. Crystal structures are now available for the E. coli proteasome homologue and the T. acidophilum and S. cerevisiae 20S proteasomes. All three enzymes are cylindrical particles that have their active sites on the inner walls of a large central cavity. They share the fold and a novel catalytic mechanism with an N-terminal nucleophilic threonine, which places them in the family of Ntn (N terminal nucleophile) hydrolases. Evolution has added complexity to the comparatively simple prokaryotic prototype. This minimal proteasome is a homododecamer made from two hexameric rings stacked head to head. Its heptameric version is the catalytic core of archaebacterial proteasomes, where it is sandwiched between two inactive antichambers that are made up from a different subunit. In eukaryotes, both subunits have diverged into seven different subunits each, which are present in the particle in unique locations such that a complex dimer is formed that has six active sites with three major specificities that can be attributed to individual subunits. Genetic, biochemical, and high-resolution electron microscopy data, but no crystal structures, are available for the 19S caps. A first step toward a mechanistic understanding of proteasome activation and regulation has been made with the elucidation of the X-ray structure of the alternative, mammalian proteasome activator PA28.

Abstract
We have identified two distinct subunits of 20 S proteasomes that are associated with RNase activity. Proteasome subunits zeta and iota, eluted from two-dimensional Western blots, hydrolysed tobacco mosaic virus RNA, whereas none of the other subunits degraded this substrate under the same conditions. Additionally, proteasomes were dissociated by 6 M urea, and subunit zeta, containing the highest RNase activity, was isolated by anion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Purified subunit zeta migrated as a single spot on two-dimensional PAGE with a molecular mass of approx. 28 kDa. Addition of anti-(subunit zeta) antibodies led to the co-precipitation of this proteasome subunit and nuclease activity. This is the first evidence that proteasomal alpha-type subunits are associated with an enzymic activity, and our results provide further evidence that proteasomes may be involved in cellular RNA metabolism.

Abstract
The 20S proteasome (prosome) is a highly organized multiprotein complex with approximate molecular weight of about 700 kDa. Whilst the role of the proteasome in the processing and turnover of cellular proteins is becoming clearer, its relationship with RNA remains still obscure. Here we focus on the nature and function of proteasome associated endonuclease activity. Thus the involvement of a proteasome alpha-type subunit in RNA-degradation, the catalytic requirements, the interaction of proteasomes with their RNA-substrate and the identification of a well defined cleavage site in the 3'UTR of short-lived cellular mRNAs will be described in detail. All data indicate that proteasomes associated endonuclease activity could be involved in post-transcriptional gene control at the level of translation.

Abstract
Prosomes (Proteasomes/Multicatalytic proteinase (MCP)-complexes) are protein particles built of 28 subunits in variable composition, having proteinase activity. We have studied the changes in prosomal subunits p29K, p31K and the highly expressed p23K during the differentiation of U937 cells. Control cells had little prosomal subunit p31K in the cytoplasm, while p29K antigen was detected in both the nucleus and cytoplasm; more p23K antigen was found in the cytoplasm than in the nucleus. Flow cytometry demonstrated a biphasic intracellular decrease in prosomes during differentiation induced by phorbol-myristic-acetate (PMA) and retinoic acid plus 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (RA + VD). p23K and p29K decreased both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of differentiated cells, though the p23K antigen was concentrated near vesicles and the plasma membrane in PMA-induced cells. The p31K antigens disappeared from RA + VD-induced cells, while in PMA-induced cells, cytoplasmic labelling was unchanged and nuclear labelling was increased. Small amounts of prosomal proteins p23K and p29K were found on the outer membrane of un-induced cells. While there was no labelling on the outer membrane of RA + VD-induced cells, p23K protein increased on the plasma membrane of PMA-induced cells. The prosome-like particle protein p21K was not present to any significant extent in the intracellular compartment of control or induced cells; however, p21K was detected on the outer surface of control cells and was increased only in PMA-induced cells. The culture medium of control and induced cells contained no p21K, p23K, p29K or p31K. RA + VD seemed to induce a general decrease of prosomal subunits within the cells and at the outer surface, whereas PMA caused a migration toward the plasma membrane and an increase at the outer surface. These changes in the distribution and type of prosomes in RA + VD- and PMA-induced cells indicate that prosomes may play a part in differentiation, especially p23K which is the most highly expressed protein among those studied and presents the more important changes.

The 20S proteasome (prosome) is a highly organized multi-protein complex with approximate molecular weight of about 700 kDa. Whilst the role of the proteasome in the processing and turnover of cellular proteins is becoming clearer, its relationship with RNA remains obscure. Over the last decade the possibility of association of proteasomes with specific RNAs or mRNPs have been particularly controversial. Proteasomes were reported to inhibit translation of viral mRNAs and to be tightly associated with RNase activity. It is possible that proteasomes are also involved in cellular RNA breakdown and RNA processing like prokaryotic RNase E.
