Signature activities of 20S proteasome reveal degradation of intact ubiquitin-conjugates in hypoxia
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Careful removal of unwanted proteins is necessary for cell survival. The primary constitutive intracellular protease is the 26S proteasome complex, very often found in equilibrium with its catalytic core particle – the 20S subcomplex. Protein degradation by the former is tightly regulated due to prior selection of substrates by ubiquitination, whereas the latter is most likely confined to substrates with an inherent unstructured stretch. Understanding the interplay between 26S and 20S proteasomes is challenging due to their common catalytic sites. By using MS analyses, we define the 20S and 26S substrate preferences, and ascribe a unique property to 20S in degrading ubiquitin. High-end mass-spectroscopy of intracellular peptidome defines signature activities of 20S and finds their contribution to proteostasis under severe hypoxia and in human failing heart.
