Abstract
Eukaryotic 20S proteasome assembly remains poorly understood. The subunits stack into four heteroheptameric rings; three inner-ring subunits (β1, β2, and β5) bear the protease catalytic residues and are synthesized with N-terminal propeptides. These propeptides are removed autocatalytically late in assembly. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, β5 (Doa3/Pre2) has a 75-residue propeptide, β5pro, that is essential for proteasome assembly and can work in trans. We show that deletion of the poorly conserved N-terminal half of the β5 propeptide nonetheless causes substantial defects in proteasome maturation. Sequences closer to the cleavage site have critical but redundant roles in both assembly and self-cleavage. A conserved histidine two residues upstream of the autocleavage site strongly promotes processing. Surprisingly, although β5pro is functionally linked to the Ump1 assembly factor, trans-expressed β5pro associates only weakly with Ump1-containing precursors. Several genes were identified as dosage suppressors of trans-expressed β5pro mutants; the strongest encoded the β7 proteasome subunit. Previous data suggested that β7 and β5pro have overlapping roles in bringing together two half-proteasomes, but the timing of β7 addition relative to half-mer joining was unclear. Here we report conditions where dimerization lags behind β7 incorporation into the half-mer. Our results suggest that β7 insertion precedes half-mer dimerization, and the β7 tail and β5 propeptide have unequal roles in half-mer joining.

Abstract
The yeast two-hybrid system (Y2H) is a powerful method to identify binary protein-protein interactions in vivo. Here we describe Y2H screening strategies that use defined libraries of open reading frames (ORFs) and cDNA libraries. The array-based Y2H system is well suited for interactome studies of small genomes with an existing ORFeome clones preferentially in a recombination based cloning system. For large genomes, pooled library screening followed by Y2H pairwise retests may be more efficient in terms of time and resources, but multiple sampling is necessary to ensure comprehensive screening. While the Y2H false positives can be efficiently reduced by using built-in controls, retesting, and evaluation of background activation; implementing the multiple variants of the Y2H vector systems is essential to reduce the false negatives and ensure comprehensive coverage of an interactome.

Abstract
The chaperones Ump1 and Pba1-Pba2 promote efficient biogenesis of 20S proteasome core particles from its subunits via 15S intermediates containing alpha and beta subunits, except beta7. Here we elucidate the structural role of these chaperones in late steps of core particle biogenesis using biochemical, electron microscopy, cross-linking and mass spectrometry analyses. In 15S precursor complexes, Ump1 is largely unstructured, lining the inner cavity of the complex along the interface between alpha and beta subunits. The alpha and beta subunits form loosely packed rings with a wider alpha ring opening than in the 20S core particle, allowing for the Pba1-Pba2 heterodimer to be partially embedded in the central alpha ring cavity. During biogenesis, the heterodimer is expelled from the alpha ring by a restructuring event that organizes the beta ring and leads to tightening of the alpha ring opening. In this way, the Pba1-Pba2 chaperone is recycled for a new round of proteasome assembly.

Abstract
Protein complexes are typically analyzed by affinity purification and subsequent mass spectrometric analysis. However, in most cases the structure and topology of the complexes remains elusive from such studies. Here we investigate how the yeast two-hybrid system can be used to analyze direct interactions among proteins in a complex. First we tested all pairwise interactions among the seven proteins of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III as well as an uncharacterized complex that includes MntR and PerR. Four and seven interactions were identified in these two complexes, respectively. In addition, we review Y2H data for three other complexes of known structure which serve as "gold-standards", namely Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), the yeast proteasome, and bacteriophage lambda. Finally, we review an Y2H analysis of the human spliceosome which may serve as an example for a dynamic mega-complex.

Abstract
Structural characterization of proteasome complexes is an essential step toward understanding the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Currently, high resolution structures are not available for the 26S proteasome holocomplex as well as its subcomplex, the 19S regulatory particle (RP). Here we have employed a novel integrated strategy combining chemical cross-linking with multistage tandem mass spectrometry to define the proximity of subunits within the yeast 19S RP to elucidate its topology. This has resulted in the identification of 174 cross-linked peptides of the yeast 19S RP, representing 43 unique lysine-lysine linkages within 24 nonredundant pair-wise subunit interactions. To map the spatial organization of the 19S RP, we have developed and utilized a rigorous probabilistic framework to derive maximum likelihood (ML) topologies based on cross-linked peptides determined from our analysis. Probabilistic modeling of the yeast 19S AAA-ATPase ring (i.e., Rpt1-6) has produced an ML topology that is in excellent agreement with known topologies of its orthologs. In addition, similar analysis was carried out on the 19S lid subcomplex, whose predicted ML topology corroborates recently reported electron microscopy studies. Together, we have demonstrated the effectiveness and potential of probabilistic modeling for unraveling topologies of protein complexes using cross-linking data. This report describes the first study of the 19S RP topology using a new integrated strategy combining chemical cross-linking, mass spectrometry, and probabilistic modeling. Our results have provided a solid foundation to advance our understanding of the 19S RP architecture at peptide level resolution. Furthermore, our methodology developed here is a valuable proteomic tool that can be generalized for elucidating the structures of protein complexes.

Abstract
The yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system is a powerful tool to identify binary protein-protein interactions. Here, we describe array-based two-hybrid methods that use defined libraries of open reading frames (ORFs) and pooled prey library screenings that use random genomic or cDNA libraries. The array-based Y2H system is well-suited for interactome studies of existing ORFeomes or subsets thereof, preferentially in a recombination-based cloning system. Array-based Y2H screens efficiently reduce false positives by using built-in controls, retesting, and evaluation of background activation. Hands-on time and the amount of used resources grow exponentially with the number of tested proteins; this is a disadvantage for large genome sizes. For large genomes, random library screen may be more efficient in terms of time and resources, but not as comprehensive as array screens, and it requires significant sequencing capacity. Furthermore, multiple variants of the Y2H vector systems detect markedly different subsets of interactions in the same interactome. Hence, only multiple variations of the Y2H systems ensure comprehensive coverage of an interactome.

Abstract
Today, matrix-based screens are used primarily for smaller and medium-size clone collections in combination with automation and cloning techniques that allow for reliable and fast interaction screening. Matrix-based yeast two-hybrid screens are an alternative to library-based screens. However, intermediary forms are possible too and we compare both strategies, including a detailed discussion of matrix-based screens. Recent improvement of matrix screens (also called array screens) uses various pooling strategies as well as novel vectors that increase their efficiency while decreasing false-negative rates and increasing reliability.

Abstract
Background The small subunit (SSU) processome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex involved in small ribosomal subunit assembly. It consists of the U3 snoRNA and ∼72 proteins. While most of its components have been identified, the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) among them remain largely unknown, and thus the assembly, architecture and function of the SSU processome remains unclear. Methodology We queried PPI databases for SSU processome proteins to quantify the degree to which the three genome-wide high-throughput yeast two-hybrid (HT-Y2H) studies, the genome-wide protein fragment complementation assay (PCA) and the literature-curated (LC) datasets cover the SSU processome interactome. Conclusions We find that coverage of the SSU processome PPI network is remarkably sparse. Two of the three HT-Y2H studies each account for four and six PPIs between only six of the 72 proteins, while the third study accounts for as little as one PPI and two proteins. The PCA dataset has the highest coverage among the genome-wide studies with 27 PPIs between 25 proteins. The LC dataset was the most extensive, accounting for 34 proteins and 38 PPIs, many of which were validated by independent methods, thereby further increasing their reliability. When the collected data were merged, we found that at least 70% of the predicted PPIs have yet to be determined and 26 proteins (36%) have no known partners. Since the SSU processome is conserved in all Eukaryotes, we also queried HT-Y2H datasets from six additional model organisms, but only four orthologues and three previously known interologous interactions were found. This provides a starting point for further work on SSU processome assembly, and spotlights the need for a more complete genome-wide Y2H analysis.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are key to many aspects of the cell, including its cytoskeletal structure, the signaling processes in which it is involved, or its metabolism. Failure to form protein complexes or signaling cascades may sometimes translate into pathologic conditions such as cancer or neurodegenerative diseases. The set of all protein interactions between the proteins encoded by an organism constitutes its protein interaction network, representing a scaffold for biological function. Knowing the protein interaction network of an organism, combined with other sources of biological information, can unravel fundamental biological circuits and may help better understand the molecular basics of human diseases. The protein interaction network of an organism can be mapped by combining data obtained from both low-throughput screens, i.e., "one gene at a time" experiments and high-throughput screens, i.e., screens designed to interrogate large sets of proteins at once. In either case, quality controls are required to deal with the inherent imperfect nature of experimental assays. In this chapter, we discuss experimental and statistical methodologies to quantify error rates in high-throughput protein-protein interactions screens.

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
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
BACKGROUND The assembly of reliable and complete protein-protein interaction (PPI) maps remains one of the significant challenges in systems biology. Computational methods which integrate and prioritize interaction data can greatly aid in approaching this goal. RESULTS We developed a Bayesian inference framework which uses phylogenetic relationships to guide the integration of PPI evidence across multiple datasets and species, providing more accurate predictions. We apply our framework to reconcile seven eukaryotic interactomes: H. sapiens, M. musculus, R. norvegicus, D. melanogaster, C. elegans, S. cerevisiae and A. thaliana. Comprehensive GO-based quality assessment indicates a 5% to 44% score increase in predicted interactomes compared to the input data. Further support is provided by gold-standard MIPS, CYC2008 and HPRD datasets. We demonstrate the ability to recover known PPIs in well-characterized yeast and human complexes (26S proteasome, endosome and exosome) and suggest possible new partners interacting with the putative SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex in A. thaliana. CONCLUSION Our phylogeny-guided approach compares favorably to two standard methods for mapping PPIs across species. Detailed analysis of predictions in selected functional modules uncovers specific PPI profiles among homologous proteins, establishing interaction-based partitioning of protein families. Provided evidence also suggests that interactions within core complex subunits are in general more conserved and easier to transfer accurately to other organisms, than interactions between these subunits.

Abstract
26S proteasomes consist of cylindrical 20S proteasomes with 19S regulatory complexes attached to the ends. Treatment with high concentrations of salt causes the regulatory complexes to separate into two sub-complexes, the base, which is in contact with the 20S proteasome, and the lid, which is the distal part of the 19S complex. Here, we describe two assembly intermediates of the human regulatory complex. One is a dimer of the two ATPase subunits, Rpt3 and Rpt6. The other is a complex of nascent Rpn2, Rpn10, Rpn11, Rpn13, and Txnl1, attached to preexisting 20S proteasomes. This early assembly complex does not yet contain Rpn1 or any of the ATPase subunits of the base. Thus, assembly of 19S regulatory complexes takes place on preexisting 20S proteasomes, and part of the lid is assembled before the base.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome is the most downstream element of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway of protein degradation. It is composed of the 20S core particle (CP) and the 19S regulatory particle (RP). The RP consists of 6 AAA-ATPases and at least 13 non-ATPase subunits. Based on a cryo-EM map of the 26S proteasome, structures of homologs, and physical protein-protein interactions we derive an atomic model of the AAA-ATPase-CP sub-complex. The ATPase order in our model (Rpt1/Rpt2/Rpt6/Rpt3/Rpt4/Rpt5) is in excellent agreement with the recently identified base-precursor complexes formed during the assembly of the RP. Furthermore, the atomic CP-AAA-ATPase model suggests that the assembly chaperone Nas6 facilitates CP-RP association by enhancing the shape complementarity between Rpt3 and its binding CP alpha subunits partners.

Abstract
An affinity purification strategy was developed to characterize human proteasome complexes diversity as well as endogenous proteasome-interacting proteins (PIPs). This single step procedure, initially used for 20 S proteasome purification, was adapted to purify all existing physiological proteasome complexes associated to their various regulatory complexes and to their interacting partners. The method was applied to the purification of proteasome complexes and their PIPs from human erythrocytes but can be used to purify proteasomes from any human sample as starting material. The benefit of in vivo formaldehyde cross-linking as a stabilizer of protein-protein interactions was studied by comparing the status of purified proteasomes and the identified proteins in both protocols (with or without formaldehyde cross-linking). Subsequent proteomics analyses identified all proteasomal subunits, known regulators, and recently assigned partners. Moreover other proteins implicated at different levels of the ubiquitin-proteasome system were also identified for the first time as PIPs. One of them, the ubiquitin-specific protease USP7, also known as HAUSP, is an important player in the p53-HDM2 pathway. The specificity of the interaction was further confirmed using a complementary approach that consisted of the reverse immunoprecipitation with HAUSP as a bait. Altogether we provide a valuable tool that should contribute, through the identification of partners likely to affect proteasomal function, to a better understanding of this complex proteolytic machinery in any living human cell and/or organ/tissue and in different cell physiological states.

Abstract
The yeast two-hybrid system (Y2H) is a powerful tool to identify protein-protein interactions. Here we describe array-based two-hybrid methods that use defined libraries of open reading frames (ORFs) as opposed to random genomic or cDNA libraries. The array-based Y2H system is well suited for interactome studies of existing ORFeomes or subsets thereof, preferentially in a recombination-based cloning system. Array-based Y2H screens efficiently reduce false positives by using built-in controls, retesting, and evaluation of background activation. Hands-on time and the amount of used resources grow exponentially with the number of tested proteins; this is a disadvantage for large genome sizes. For large genomes, random library screen may be more efficient in terms of time and resources, but not as comprehensive as array screens, and they require an efficient sequencing facility. However, large array screens require some extent of automation although they can be carried out manually on smaller scales. Future-generation Y2H plasmid constructs including tightly regulated expression systems and features that facilitate biochemical characterization will provide more efficient and powerful tools to identify interacting proteins.

Abstract
The proteasome is the primary subcellular organelle responsible for protein degradation. It is a dynamic assemblage of 34 core subunits and many differentially expressed, transiently interacting, modulatory proteins. This paper describes a novel affinity chromatography method for the purification of functional human holoproteasome complexes using mild conditions. Human proteasomes purified by this simple procedure maintained the ability to proteolytically process synthetic peptide substrates and degrade ubiquitinated parkin. Furthermore, the entire purification fraction was analyzed by mass spectrometry in order to identify proteasomal proteins and putative proteasome-interacting proteins. The mild purification conditions maintained transient physical interactions between holoproteasomes and a number of known modulatory proteins. In addition, several classes of putative interacting proteins co-purified with the proteasomes, including proteins with a role in the ubiquitin proteasome system for protein degradation or DNA repair. These results demonstrate the efficacy of using this affinity purification strategy for isolating functional human proteasomes and identifying proteins that may physically interact with human proteasomes.

Abstract
Accumulation of misfolded oxidant-damaged proteins is characteristic of many diseases and aging. To understand how cells handle postsynthetically damaged proteins, we studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the effects on overall protein degradation of shifting from 30 to 38°C, exposure to reactive oxygen species generators (paraquat or cadmium), or lack of superoxide dismutases. Degradation rates of long-lived proteins (i.e., most cell proteins) were not affected by these insults, even when there was widespread oxidative damage to proteins. However, exposure to 38°C, paraquat, cadmium, or deletion of SOD1 enhanced two- to threefold the degradation of newly synthesized proteins. By 1 h after synthesis, their degradation was not affected by these treatments. Degradation of these damaged cytosolic proteins requires the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway, including the E2s UBC4/UBC5, proteasomal subunit RPN10, and the CDC48–UfD1–NPL4 complex. In yeast lacking these components, the nondegraded polypeptides accumulate as aggregates. Thus, many cytosolic proteins proceed through a prolonged “fragile period” during which they are sensitive to degradation induced by superoxide radicals or increased temperatures.

Abstract
Using a directed graph model for bait to prey systems and a multinomial error model, we assessed the error statistics in all published large-scale datasets for Saccharomyces cerevisiae and characterized them by three traits: the set of tested interactions, artifacts that lead to false-positive or false-negative observations, and estimates of the stochastic error rates that affect the data. These traits provide a prerequisite for the estimation of the protein interactome and its modules.

Abstract
We review the estimation of coverage and error rate in high-throughput protein-protein interaction datasets and argue that reports of the low quality of such data are to a substantial extent based on misinterpretations. Probabilistic statistical models and methods can be used to estimate properties of interest and to make the best use of the available data.

Abstract
Animals with immune systems have two types of proteasomes, "standard proteasomes" and "immunoproteasomes" that respectively contain constitutively expressed catalytic subunits or interferon-gamma-inducible catalytic subunits. Interestingly, proteasome assembly is biased against formation of most mixed proteasomes containing combinations of standard subunits and immunosubunits. We previously demonstrated that catalytic subunit propeptide differences contribute to this assembly specificity. In the current study, we investigated the contributions of catalytic subunit propeptides and C-terminal extensions to intra-proteasome protein-protein interactions that are potentially involved in mediating biased assembly of human proteasomes, and we found a number of interactions that differentially depended on these structures. For example, the C-terminal extension of standard subunit beta2 is required for beta2's interaction with adjacent beta3, whereas the C-terminal extension of immunosubunit beta2i is dispensable for beta2i's interaction with beta3. Taken together, our results suggest mechanisms whereby differential intra-proteasome interactions could contribute to proteasome assembly specificity.

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
The 26S proteasome, a multicatalytic protease comprising the catalytic 20S core particle and the 19S regulatory particle has a crucial role in cellular protein quality control. We have used a chromatography-based approach to purify and map the protein content of the 20S core particle from the industrially-exploited filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei. There are no previous reports on the isolation or proteomic mapping of the proteasome from any filamentous fungus. From the reference map, 13 of the 14 20S proteasome subunits and many related proteins that co-purified with the 20S proteasome have been identified. These include 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (BIP) and several chaperones including heat shock proteins involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR). Some proteasome interacting proteins (PIPs) were also identified on the proteome map and included 14-3-3-like protein, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, transaldolase, actin, translation elongation factor, enolase, ATPase in the ER (CDC48), and eukaryotic initiation factor. We present here a master map for the 20S catalytic core to pave the way for future differential display studies addressing intracellular degradation of endogenous and foreign proteins in filamentous fungi.

Abstract
SCF complexes are E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases that mediate degradation of regulatory and signaling proteins and control G1/S cell cycle progression by degradation of G1 cyclins and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, Sic1. Interchangeable F-box proteins bind the core SCF components; each recruits a specific subset of substrates for ubiquitylation. The F-box proteins themselves are rapidly turned over by autoubiquitylation, allowing rapid recycling of SCF complexes. Here we report a role for the UbL-UbA protein Ddi1 in the turnover of the F-box protein, Ufo1. Ufo1 is unique among F-box proteins in having a domain comprising multiple ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs) that mediate its turnover. Deleting the UIMs leads to stabilization of Ufo1 and to cell cycle arrest at G1/S of cells with long buds resembling skp1 mutants. Cells accumulate substrates of other F-box proteins, indicating that the SCF pathway of substrate ubiquitylation is inhibited. Ufo1 interacts with Ddi1 via its UIMs, and Deltaddi1 cells arrest when full-length UFO1 is overexpressed. These results imply a role for the UIMs in turnover of SCF(Ufo1) complexes that is dependent on Ddi1, a novel activity for an UbL-UbA protein.

Abstract
The essential, conserved yeast nucleolar protein Ytm1 is one of 17 proteins in ribosome assembly intermediates that contain WD40 protein-protein interaction motifs. Such proteins may play key roles in organizing other molecules necessary for ribosome biogenesis. Ytm1 is present in four consecutive 66S preribosomes containing 27SA2, 27SA3, 27SB, and 25.5S plus 7S pre-rRNAs plus ribosome assembly factors and ribosomal proteins. Ytm1 binds directly to Erb1 and is present in a heterotrimeric subcomplex together with Erb1 and Nop7, both within preribosomes and independently of preribosomes. However, Nop7 and Erb1 assemble into preribosomes prior to Ytm1. Mutations in the WD40 motifs of Ytm1 disrupt binding to Erb1, destabilize the heterotrimer, and delay pre-rRNA processing and nuclear export of preribosomes. Nevertheless, 66S preribosomes lacking Ytm1 remain otherwise intact.

Abstract
The interaction between the human body and nutrition is an extremely complex process involving multi-organ physiology with molecular mechanisms on all levels of regulation (genes, gene expression, proteins, metabolites). Only with the recent technology push have nutritional scientists been able to address this complexity. Both the challenges and promises that are offered by the merge of 'biomics' technologies and mechanistic nutrition research are huge, but will eventually evolve in a new nutrition research concept: nutritional systems biology. This review describes the principles and technologies involved in this merge. Using nutrition research examples, including gene expression modulation by carbohydrates and fatty acids, this review discusses applications as well as limitations of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and systems biology. Furthermore, reference is made to gene polymorphisms that underlie individual differences in nutrient utilization, resulting in, e.g., different susceptibility to develop obesity.

Abstract
The proteasome is a compartmentalized, ATP-dependent protease composed of more than 30 subunits that recognizes and degrades polyubiquitinated substrates. Despite its physiological importance, many aspects of the proteasome's structural organization and regulation remain poorly understood. In addition to the proteins that form the proteasome holocomplex, there is increasing evidence that proteasomal function is affected by a wide variety of associating proteins. A group of ubiquitin-binding proteins assist in delivery of substrates to the proteasome, whereas proteasome-associated ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes may alter the dynamics of ubiquitin chains already associated with the proteasome. Some proteins appear to influence the overall stability of the complex, and still others have the capacity to activate or inhibit the hydrolytic activity of the core particle. The increasing number of interacting proteins identified suggests that proteasomes, as they exist in the cell, are larger and more diverse in composition than previously assumed. Thus, the study of proteasome-associated proteins will lead to new perspectives on the dynamics of this uniquely complex proteolytic machine.

Abstract
The major enzyme system catalysing the degradation of intracellular proteins is the proteasome system. A central inner chamber of the cylinder-shaped 20 S proteasome contains the active site, formed by N-terminal threonine residues. The 20 S proteasomes are extremely inefficient in degrading folded protein substrates and therefore one or two multisubunit 19 S regulatory particles bind to one or both ends of the 20 S proteasome cylinder, forming 26 S and 30 S proteasomes respectively. These regulatory complexes are able to bind proteins marked as proteasome substrates by prior conjugation with polyubiquitin chains, and initiate their unfolding and translocation into the proteolytic chamber of the 20 S proteasome, where they are broken down into peptides of 3–25 amino acids. The polyubiquitin tag is removed from the substrate protein by the deubiquitinating activity of the 19 S regulator complex. Under conditions of an intensified immune response, many eukaryotic cells adapt by replacing standard 20 S proteasomes with immuno-proteasomes and/or generating the proteasome activator complex, PA28. Both of these adaptations change the protein-breakdown process for optimized generation of antigenic peptide epitopes that are presented by the class I MHCs. Hybrid proteasomes (19 S regulator–20 S proteasome–PA28) may have a special function during the immune response. The functions of other proteasome accessory complexes, such as PA200 and PI31 are still under investigation.

Abstract
Nutrigenomics refers to the complex effects of the nutritional environment on the genome, epigenome, and proteome of an organism. The diverse tissue- and organ-specific effects of diet include gene expression patterns, organization of the chromatin, and protein post-translational modifications. Long-term effects of diet range from obesity and associated diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease to increased or decreased longevity. Furthermore, the diet of the mother can potentially have long-term health impacts on the children, possibly through inherited diet-induced chromatin alterations. Drosophila is a unique and ideal model organism for conducting nutrigenomics research for numerous reasons. Drosophila, yeast, and Caenorhabditis elegans all have sophisticated genetics as well as sequenced genomes, and researchers working with all three organisms have made valuable discoveries in nutrigenomics. However, unlike yeast and C. elegans, Drosophila has adipose-like tissues and a lipid transport system, making it a closer model to humans. This review summarizes what has already been learned in Drosophila nutrigenomics (with an emphasis on lipids and sterols), critically evaluates the data, and discusses fruitful areas for future research.

Abstract
Systems biology is an emerging discipline focused on tackling the enormous intellectual and technical challenges associated with translating genome sequence into a comprehensive understanding of how organisms are built and run. Physiology and systems biology share the goal of understanding the integrated function of complex, multicomponent biological systems ranging from interacting proteins that carry out specific tasks to whole organisms. Despite this common ground, physiology as an academic discipline runs the real risk of fading into the background and being superseded organizationally and administratively by systems biology. My goal in this article is to discuss briefly the cornerstones of modern systems biology, specifically functional genomics, nonmammalian model organisms and computational biology, and to emphasize the need to embrace them as essential components of 21st-century physiology departments and research and teaching programs.

Abstract
Peptide generation by the proteasome is rate-limiting in MHC class I-restricted antigen presentation in response to IFN-gamma. IFN-gamma-induced de novo formation of immunoproteasomes, therefore, essentially supports the rapid adjustment of the mammalian immune system. Here, we report that the molecular interplay between the proteasome maturation protein (POMP) and the proteasomal beta5i subunit low molecular weight protein 7 (LMP7) has a key position in this immune adaptive program. IFN-gamma-induced coincident biosynthesis of POMP and LMP7 and their direct interaction essentially accelerate immunoproteasome biogenesis compared with constitutive 20S proteasome assembly. The dynamics of this process is determined by rapid LMP7 activation and the immediate LMP7-dependent degradation of POMP. Silencing of POMP expression impairs recruitment of both beta5 subunits into the proteasome complex, resulting in decreased proteasome activity, reduced MHC class I surface expression, and induction of apoptosis. Furthermore, our data reveal that immunoproteasomes exhibit a considerably shortened half-life, compared with constitutive proteasomes. In consequence, our studies demonstrate that the cytokine-induced rapid immune adaptation of the proteasome system is a tightly regulated and transient response allowing cells to return rapidly to a normal situation once immunoproteasome function is no longer required.

Rpn6p is a component of the lid of the 26 S proteasome. We isolated and analyzed two temperature-sensitive rpn6 mutants in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both mutants showed defects in protein degradation in vivo. However, the affinity-purified 26 S proteasome of the rpn6 mutants grown at the permissive temperature degraded polyubiquitinated Sic1p efficiently, even at a higher temperature. Interestingly, their enzyme activity was even higher at a higher temperature, indicating that once made mutant proteasomes are stable and have little defect in the proteolytic function. These results suggest that the deficiency in protein degradation observed in vivo is rather due to a defect in the assembly of a holoenzyme at the restrictive temperature. Indeed, both rpn6 mutants grown at the restrictive temperature were defective in assembling the 26 S proteasome. A striking feature of the rpn6 mutants at the restrictive temperature was that there appeared a protein complex composed of only four of the nine lid components, Rpn5p, Rpn8p, Rpn9p, and Rpn11p. Altogether, we conclude that Rpn6p is essential for the integrity/assembly of the lid in the sense that it is necessary for the incorporation of Rpn3p, Rpn7p, Rpn12p, and Sem1p (Rpn15p) into the lid, thereby playing an essential role in the proper function of the 26 S proteasome.

Abstract
Ubiquitin (Ub) regulates important cellular processes through covalent attachment to its substrates. Distinct fates are bestowed on multi-Ub chains linked through different lysine residues. Ub contains seven conserved lysines, all of which could be used for multi-Ub chain formation. K29 and K48 are the signals for proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Multi-Ub chains linked through K63 have nonproteolytic functions. Studies of Ub-binding factors are likely the key to understanding diverse functions of the Ub molecule. Yeast two-hybrid assay can be a powerful approach to dissect the interaction between Ub and its binding proteins and also the function of these Ub-chain binding proteins in vivo.

Abstract
The 26S proteasome, consisting of the 20S core and 19S regulatory complexes, regulates intracellular protein concentration through proteolytic degradation of targeted substrates. Composition of the 19S regulatory complex as well as posttranslational modifications of the 19S subunits can effectively regulate the activity of the 26S proteasome. Aberrant activity of the 26S proteasome affects the cell cycle, apoptosis and other cellular processes related to cancer. Recent data show an additional proteasome-independent role of 19S subunits in transcriptional regulation. S12 (Rpn8), the human homologue of mouse Mov-34, is a non-ATPase 19S regulatory subunit of the 26S proteasome. Previous studies have identified phosphorylated S12. In our study, we identify a modified S12 isoform (S12-M) with distinct biochemical properties. The S12-M isoform was found in 6 normal, but not 4 transformed, breast epithelial cell lines. Modification of S12 protein can be induced in vitro by addition of the proteasome inhibitor PSI. Modified and unmodified S12 have similar mass, but different isoelectric points, consistent with phosphorylation. In normal cells, unmodified S12 associates with the 26S proteasome, while modified S12-M does not. Whereas transformed cell line nuclei contain neither S12 isoform, S12-M is predominantly cytosolic in normal cells, with the unmodified S12 present in both the nuclei and cytosol. Together with the role of 19S subunits in transcriptional regulation, homology between S12 and eIF3 and TFIIH subunits, coelution with immunoproteasome subunits, and differential posttranslational modification and nuclear localization, these data suggest a differential nuclear function of modified and unmodified S12 in cancer.

Abstract
Immunoproteasomes and standard proteasomes assemble by alternative pathways that bias against the formation of certain "mixed" proteasomes. Differences between beta subunit propeptides contribute to assembly specificity and an assembly chaperone, proteassemblin, may be involved via differential propeptide interactions. We investigated possible mechanisms of biased proteasome assembly and the role of proteassemblin by identifying protein-protein interactions among human 20S proteasome subunits and proteassemblin using a yeast two-hybrid interaction assay. Forty-one interactions were detected, including five involving proteassemblin and contiguous beta subunits, which suggests that proteassemblin binds to preproteasomes via a beta subunit surface. Interaction between proteassemblin and beta5, but not beta5i, suggests that proteassemblin may be involved in the propeptide-dependent differential incorporation of these subunits. Interactions between proteassemblin and beta1, beta1i, and beta7 suggest that proteassemblin may regulate preproteasome dimerization via interactions with the C-termini of these subunits, which in the mature 20S structure extend to contact opposing beta subunit rings.

Abstract
Rab7 is a key regulatory protein governing early to late endocytic membrane transport. In this study the proteasome alpha-subunit XAPC7 (also known as PSMA7, RC6-1, and HSPC in mammals) was identified to interact specifically with Rab7 and was recruited to multivesicular late endosomes through this interaction. The protein interaction domains were localized to the C terminus of XAPC7 and the N terminus of Rab7. XAPC7 was not found on early or recycling endosomes, but could be recruited to recycling endosomes by expression of a Rab7-(1-174)Rab11-(160-202) chimera, establishing a central role for Rab7 in the membrane recruitment of XAPC7. Although XAPC7 could be shown to associate with membranes bearing ubiquitinated cargo, overexpression had no impact on steady-state ubiquitinated protein levels. Most notably, overexpression of XAPC7 was found to impair late endocytic transport of two different membrane proteins, including EGFR known to be highly dependent on ubiquitination and proteasome activity for proper endocytic sorting and lysosomal transport. Decreased late endocytic transport caused by XAPC7 overexpression was partially rescued by coexpression of wild-type Rab7, suggesting a negative regulatory role for XAPC7. Nevertheless, Rab7 itself was not subject to XAPC7-dependent proteasomal degradation. Together the data establish the first direct molecular link between the endocytic trafficking and cytosolic degradative machineries.

Abstract
Yeast mating switch Ho endonuclease is rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin system and this depends on the DNA damage response functions, MEC1, RAD9, and CHK1. A PEST sequence marks Ho for degradation. Here we show that the novel F-box receptor, Ufo1, recruits phosphorylated Ho for degradation. Mutation of PEST residue threonine 225 stabilizes Ho, yet HoT225A still binds Ufo1 in vitro. Stable HoT225A accumulates within the nucleus, whereas HoT225E is degraded. Deletion of the nuclear exportin Msn5 traps native Ho in the nucleus and extends its half-life. These experiments suggest that Ho is degraded in the cytoplasm. In mec1 mutants stable Ho accumulates within the nucleus; Ho produced in mec1 cells does not bind Ufo1. Thus the MEC1 pathway has functions both in phosphorylation of Thr-225 for nuclear export and in additional phosphorylations for binding Ufo1. Cells with HO under its genomic promoter, but stabilized by deletion of the Msn5 exportin, proliferate, but are multibudded. These experiments elucidate some of the links between the DNA damage response and degradation of Ho by the ubiquitin system.

Abstract
Animal model systems are an intricate part of the discovery and development of new medicines. The sequencing of not only the human genome but also those of the various pathogenic bacteria, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the fruitfly Drosophila, and the mouse has enabled the discovery of new drug targets to push forward at an unprecedented pace. The knowledge and tools in these "model" systems are allowing researchers to carry out experiments more efficiently and are uncovering previously hidden biological connections. While the history of bacteria, yeast, and mice in drug discovery are long, their roles are ever evolving. In contrast, the history of Drosophila and C. elegans at pharmaceutical companies is short. We will briefly review the historic role of each model organism in drug discovery and then update the readers as to the abilities and liabilities of each model within the context of drug development.

Abstract
Currently, there is a major effort to map protein-protein interactions on a genome-wide scale. The utility of the resulting interaction networks will depend on the reliability of the experimental methods and the coverage of the approaches. Known macromolecular complexes provide a defined and objective set of protein interactions with which to compare biochemical and genetic data for validation. Here, we show that a significant fraction of the protein-protein interactions in genome-wide datasets, as well as many of the individual interactions reported in the literature, are inconsistent with the known 3D structures of three recent complexes (RNA polymerase II, Arp2/3 and the proteasome). Furthermore, comparison among genome-wide datasets, and between them and a larger (but less well resolved) group of 174 complexes, also shows marked inconsistencies. Finally, individual interaction datasets, being inherently noisy, are best used when integrated together, and we show how simple Bayesian approaches can combine them, significantly decreasing error rate.

Abstract
We have identified proteins that are abundant in affinity-purified proteasomes, but absent from proteasomes as previously defined because elevated salt concentrations dissociate them during purification. The major components are a deubiquitinating enzyme (Ubp6), a ubiquitin-ligase (Hul5), and an uncharacterized protein (Ecm29). Ecm29 tethers the proteasome core particle to the regulatory particle. Proteasome binding activates Ubp6 300-fold and is mediated by the ubiquitin-like domain of Ubp6, which is required for function in vivo. Ubp6 recognizes the proteasome base and its subunit Rpn1, suggesting that proteasome binding positions Ubp6 proximally to the substrate translocation channel. ubp6Delta mutants exhibit accelerated turnover of ubiquitin, indicating that deubiquitination events catalyzed by Ubp6 prevent translocation of ubiquitin into the proteolytic core particle.

Abstract
The yeast protein Rad23 belongs to a diverse family of proteins that contain an amino-terminal ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain. This domain mediates the binding of Rad23 to proteasomes, which in turn promotes DNA repair and modulates protein degradation, possibly by delivering ubiquitinylated cargo to proteasomes. Here we show that Rad23 binds proteasomes by directly interacting with the base subcomplex of the regulatory particle of the proteasome. A component of the base, Rpn1, specifically recognizes the UBL domain of Rad23 through its leucine-rich-repeat-like (LRR-like) domain. A second UBL protein, Dsk2, competes with Rad23 for proteasome binding, which suggests that the LRR-like domain of Rpn1 may participate in the recognition of several ligands of the proteasome. We propose that the LRR domain of Rpn1 may be positioned in the base to allow the cargo proteins carried by Rad23 to be presented to the proteasomal ATPases for unfolding. We also report that, contrary to expectation, the base subunit Rpn10 does not mediate the binding of UBL proteins to the proteasome in yeast, although it can apparently contribute to the binding of ubiquitin chains by intact proteasomes.

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
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.
