Abstract
Proteins in the cells are born (synthesized), work, and die (decomposed). In the life of a protein, its birth is obviously important, but how it dies is equally important in living organisms. Proteases secreted into the outside of cells are used to decompose the external proteins and the degradation products are taken as the nutrients. On the other hand, there are also proteases that decompose unnecessary or harmful proteins which are generated in the cells. In eukaryotes, a large enzyme complex called the proteasome is primarily responsible for degradation of such proteins. Bacteria, which are prokaryotes, have a similar system as the proteasome. We would like to explain the bacterial degradation system of proteins or the death of proteins, which is performed by ATP-dependent protease Clp, with a particular focus on the ClpXP complex, and with an aspect as a target for antibiotics against bacteria.

Abstract
Selective degradation of cellular proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is one of the key regulatory mechanisms in eukaryotic cells. A growing body of evidence indicates that UPS is involved in the regulation of fundamental processes in mammalian stem cells, including proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, aging, and programmed cell death, via proteolytic degradation of key transcription factors and cell signaling proteins and post-translational modification of target proteins with ubiquitin. Studying molecular mechanisms of proteostasis in stem cells is of great importance for the development of new therapeutic approaches aimed at the treatment of autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and other socially significant pathologies. This review discusses current data on the UPS functions in stem cells.

Abstract
Proteasome 26S, the eukaryotic proteasome, serves as the machinery for cellular protein degradation. It is composed of the 20S core particle and one or two 19S regulatory particles, composed of a base and a lid. To date, several human diseases have been associated with mutations within the 26S proteasome subunits; only one of them affects a base subunit. We now delineate an autosomal recessive syndrome of failure to thrive, severe developmental delay and intellectual disability, spastic tetraplegia with central hypotonia, chorea, hearing loss, micropenis and undescended testes, as well as mild elevation of liver enzymes. None of the affected individuals achieved verbal communication or ambulation. Ventriculomegaly was evident on MRI. Homozygosity mapping combined with exome sequencing revealed a disease‐associated p.I328T PSMC1 variant. Protein modeling demonstrated that the PSMC1 variant is located at the highly conserved putative ATP binding and hydrolysis domain, and is suggested to interrupt a hydrophobic core within the protein. Fruit flies in which we silenced the Drosophila ortholog Rpt2 specifically in the eye exhibited an apparent phenotype that was highly rescued by the human wild‐type PSMC1, yet only partly by the mutant PSMC1, proving the functional effect of the p.I328T disease‐causing variant.

Abstract
Methamphetamine (MA), as massively abused psychoactive stimulant, has been associated with many neurological diseases. It has various potent and neurotoxic properties. There are many mechanisms of action that contribute to its neurotoxic and degenerative effects, including excessive neurotransmitter (NEU) release, blockage of NEU uptake transporters, degeneration of NEU receptors, process of oxidative stress etc. MA intoxication is caused by blood-brain barrier disruption resulted from MA-induced oxidation stress. In our laboratory we constantly work on animal research of MA. Our current interest is to investigate processes of MA-induced alteration in neurotransmission, especially during development of laboratory rat. This review will describe current understanding in role of NEUs, which are affected by MA-induced neurotoxicity caused by altering the action of NEUs in the central nervous system (CNS). It also briefly brings information about NEUs development in critical periods of development.

Abstract
Protein turnover via the Pup-proteasome system (PPS) is essential for nitric oxide resistance and virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. Our study revealed components of PPS as novel determinants of intrinsic antifolate resistance in both M. tuberculosis and nonpathogenic M. smegmatis The lack of expression of the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) or the ligase, PafA, responsible for ligating Pup to its protein targets, enhanced antifolate susceptibility in M. smegmatis Cross-species expression of M. tuberculosis homologs restored wild-type resistance to M. smegmatis proteasomal mutants. Targeted deletion of prcA and prcB, encoding the structural components of the PPS proteolytic core, similarly resulted in reduced antifolate resistance. Furthermore, sulfonamides were synergistic with acidified nitrite, and the synergy against mycobacteria was enhanced in the absence of proteasomal activity. In M. tuberculosis, targeted mutagenesis followed by genetic complementation of mpa, encoding the regulatory subunit responsible for translocating pupylated proteins to the proteolytic core, demonstrated a similar function of PPS in antifolate resistance. The overexpression of dihydrofolate reductase, responsible for the reduction of dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate, or disruption of the Lonely Guy gene, responsible for PPS-controlled production of cytokinins, abolished PPS-mediated antifolate sensitivity. Together, our results show that PPS protects mycobacteria from antimicrobial antifolates via regulating both folate reduction and cytokinin production.

Abstract
Protein malfunction is typically caused by abiotic stressors. To ensure cell survival during conditions of stress, it is important for plant cells to maintain proteins in their respective functional conformation. Self-compartmentalizing proteases, such as ATP-dependent Clp proteases and proteasomes are designed to act in the crowded cellular environment, and they are responsible for degradation of misfolded or damaged proteins within the cell. During different types of stress conditions, the levels of misfolded or orphaned proteins that are degraded by the 26S proteasome in the cytosol and nucleus and by the Clp proteases in the mitochondria and chloroplasts increase. This allows cells to uphold feedback regulations to cellular-level signals and adjust to altered environmental conditions. In this review, we summarize recent findings on plant proteolytic complexes with respect to their protective functions against abiotic and biotic stressors.

Abstract
In recent years, functional interconnections emerged between synaptic transmission, inflammatory/immune mediators, and central nervous system (CNS) (patho)-physiology. Such interconnections rose up to a level that involves synaptic plasticity, both concerning its molecular mechanisms and the clinical outcomes related to its behavioral abnormalities. Within this context, synaptic plasticity, apart from being modulated by classic CNS molecules, is strongly affected by the immune system, and vice versa. This is not surprising, given the common molecular pathways that operate at the cross-road between the CNS and immune system. When searching for a common pathway bridging neuro-immune and synaptic dysregulations, the two major cell-clearing cell clearing systems, namely the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy, take center stage. In fact, just like is happening for the turnover of key proteins involved in neurotransmitter release, antigen processing within both peripheral and CNS-resident antigen presenting cells is carried out by UPS and autophagy. Recent evidence unravelling the functional cross-talk between the cell-clearing pathways challenged the traditional concept of autophagy and UPS as independent systems. In fact, autophagy and UPS are simultaneously affected in a variety of CNS disorders where synaptic and inflammatory/immune alterations concur. In this review, we discuss the role of autophagy and UPS in bridging synaptic plasticity with neuro-immunity, while posing a special emphasis on their interactions, which may be key to defining the role of immunity in synaptic plasticity in health and disease.

Abstract
The wealth of recent evidence about a bi-directional communication between nerve- and immune- cells revolutionized the traditional concept about the brain as an “immune-privileged” organ while opening novel avenues in the pathophysiology of CNS disorders. In fact, altered communication between the immune and nervous system is emerging as a common hallmark in neuro-developmental, neurodegenerative, and neuro-immunological diseases. At molecular level, the ubiquitin proteasome machinery operates as a sentinel at the crossroad between the immune system and brain. In fact, the standard proteasome and its alternative/inducible counterpart, the immunoproteasome, operate dynamically and coordinately in both nerve- and immune- cells to modulate neurotransmission, oxidative/inflammatory stress response, and immunity. When dysregulations of the proteasome system occur, altered amounts of standard- vs. immune-proteasome subtypes translate into altered communication between neurons, glia, and immune cells. This contributes to neuro-inflammatory pathology in a variety of neurological disorders encompassing Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntingtin's diseases, brain trauma, epilepsy, and Multiple Sclerosis. In the present review, we analyze those proteasome-dependent molecular interactions which sustain communication between neurons, glia, and brain circulating T-lymphocytes both in baseline and pathological conditions. The evidence here discussed converges in that upregulation of immunoproteasome to the detriment of the standard proteasome, is commonly implicated in the inflammatory- and immune- biology of neurodegeneration. These concepts may foster additional studies investigating the role of immunoproteasome as a potential target in neurodegenerative and neuro-immunological disorders.

Abstract
The model haloarchaeon, Haloferax volcanii possess an extremely high, and highly specific, basal caspase activity in exponentially growing cells that closely resembles caspase-4. This activity is specifically inhibited by the pan-caspase inhibitor, z-VAD-FMK, and has no cross-reactivity with other known protease families. Although it is one of the dominant cellular proteolytic activities in exponentially growing H. volcanii cells, the interactive cellular roles remain unknown and the protein(s) responsible for this activity remain elusive. Here, biochemical purification and in situ trapping with caspase targeted covalent inhibitors combined with genome-enabled proteomics, structural analysis, targeted gene knockouts and treatment with canavanine demonstrated a catalytic linkage between caspase activity and thermosomes, proteasomes and cdc48b, a cell division protein and proteasomal degradation facilitating ATPase, as part of an 'interactase' of stress-related protein complexes with an established link to the unfolded protein response (UPR). Our findings provide novel cellular and biochemical context for the observed caspase activity in Archaea and add new insight to understanding the role of this activity, implicating their possible role in the establishment of protein stress and ER associated degradation pathways in Eukarya.

Abstract
Intracellular proteolysis is critical for the proper functioning of all cells, owing to its involvement in a wide range of processes. Because of the destructive nature of protein degradation, intracellular proteolysis is restricted by control mechanisms at almost every step of the proteolytic process. Understanding the coordination of such mechanisms is a challenging task, especially in systems as complex as the eukaryotic ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). In comparison, the bacterial analog of the UPS, the Pup-proteasome system (PPS) is much simpler and, therefore, allows for insight into the control of a proteolytic system. This review integrates available information to present a coherent picture of what is known of PPS regulatory switches and describes how these switches act in concert to enforce regulation at the system level. Finally, open questions regarding PPS regulation are discussed, providing readers with a sense of what lies ahead in the field.

Abstract
The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) requires a proteasome system to cause lethal infections in mice. We recently found that proteasome accessory factor E (PafE, Rv3780) activates proteolysis by the Mtb proteasome independently of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Moreover, PafE contributes to the heat-shock response and virulence of Mtb Here, we show that PafE subunits formed four-helix bundles similar to those of the eukaryotic ATP-independent proteasome activator subunits of PA26 and PA28. However, unlike any other known proteasome activator, PafE formed dodecamers with 12-fold symmetry, which required a glycine-XXX-glycine-XXX-glycine motif that is not found in previously described activators. Intriguingly, the truncation of the PafE carboxyl-terminus resulted in the robust binding of PafE rings to native proteasome core particles and substantially increased proteasomal activity, suggesting that the extended carboxyl-terminus of this cofactor confers suboptimal binding to the proteasome core particle. Collectively, our data show that proteasomal activation is not limited to hexameric ATPases in bacteria.

Abstract
ClpP is a highly conserved serine protease present in most bacterial species and in the mitochondria of mammalian cells. It forms a cylindrical tetradecameric complex arranged into two stacked heptamers. The two heptameric rings of ClpP enclose a roughly spherical proteolytic chamber of about 51 Å in diameter with 14 Ser-His-Asp proteolytic active sites. ClpP typically forms complexes with unfoldase chaperones of the AAA+ superfamily. Chaperones dock on one or both ends of the ClpP double ring cylindrical structure. Dynamics in the ClpP structure is critical for its function. Polypeptides targeted for degradation by ClpP are initially recognized by the AAA+ chaperones. Polypeptides are unfolded by the chaperones and then translocated through the ClpP axial pores, present on both ends of the ClpP cylinder, into the ClpP catalytic chamber. The axial pores of ClpP are gated by dynamic axial loops that restrict or allow substrate entry. As a processive protease, ClpP degrades substrates to generate peptides of about 7-8 residues. Based on structural, biochemical and theoretical studies, the exit of these polypeptides from the proteolytic chamber is proposed to be mediated by the dynamics of the ClpP oligomer. The ClpP cylinder has been found to exist in at least three conformations, extended, compact and compressed, that seem to represent different states of ClpP during its proteolytic functional cycle. In this review, we discuss the link between ClpP dynamics and its activity. We propose that such dynamics also exist in other cylindrical proteases such as HslV and the proteasome.

Structural and biochemical properties of an extreme 'salt-loving' proteasome activating nucleotidase from the archaeon Haloferax volcanii. Extremophiles 2013; 18:283-93.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, the 26S proteasome degrades ubiquitinylated proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. Archaea mediate a form of post-translational modification of proteins termed sampylation that resembles ubiquitinylation. Sampylation was identified in Haloferax volcanii, a moderate halophilic archaeon that synthesizes homologs of 26S proteasome subunits including 20S core particles and regulatory particle triple-A ATPases (Rpt)-like proteasome-associated nucleotidases (PAN-A/1 and PAN-B/2). To determine whether sampylated proteins associate with the Rpt subunit homologs, PAN-A/1 was purified to homogeneity from Hfx. volcanii and analyzed for its subunit stoichiometry, nucleotide-hydrolyzing activity and binding to sampylated protein targets. PAN-A/1 was found to be associated as a dodecamer (630 kDa) with a configuration in TEM suggesting a complex of two stacked hexameric rings. PAN-A/1 had high affinity for ATP (K m of ~0.44 mM) and hydrolyzed this nucleotide with a specific activity of 0.33 ± 0.1 μmol Pi/h per mg protein and maximum at 42 °C. PAN-A1 was stabilized by 2 M salt with a decrease in activity at lower concentrations of salt that correlated with dissociation of the dodecamer into trimers to monomers. Binding of PAN-A/1 to a sampylated protein was demonstrated by modification of a far Western blotting technique (derived from the standard Western blot method to detect protein-protein interaction in vitro) for halophilic proteins. Overall, our results support a model in which sampylated proteins associate with the PAN-A/1 AAA+ ATPase in proteasome-mediated proteolysis and/or protein remodeling and provide a method for assay of halophilic protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
The prokaryotic cell was once thought of as a 'bag of enzymes' with little or no intracellular compartmentalization. In this view, most reactions essential for life occurred as a consequence of random molecular collisions involving substrates, cofactors and cytoplasmic enzymes. Our current conception of a prokaryote is far from this view. We now consider a bacterium or an archaeon as a highly structured, nonrandom collection of functional membrane-embedded and proteinaceous molecular machines, each of which serves a specialized function. In this article we shall present an overview of such microcompartments including (1) the bacterial cytoskeleton and the apparati allowing DNA segregation during cell division; (2) energy transduction apparati involving light-driven proton pumping and ion gradient-driven ATP synthesis; (3) prokaryotic motility and taxis machines that mediate cell movements in response to gradients of chemicals and physical forces; (4) machines of protein folding, secretion and degradation; (5) metabolosomes carrying out specific chemical reactions; (6) 24-hour clocks allowing bacteria to coordinate their metabolic activities with the daily solar cycle, and (7) proteinaceous membrane compartmentalized structures such as sulfur granules and gas vacuoles. Membrane-bound prokaryotic organelles were considered in a recent Journal of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology written symposium concerned with membranous compartmentalization in bacteria [J Mol Microbiol Biotechnol 2013;23:1-192]. By contrast, in this symposium, we focus on proteinaceous microcompartments. These two symposia, taken together, provide the interested reader with an objective view of the remarkable complexity of what was once thought of as a simple noncompartmentalized cell.
