cDNA clone MS73 codes for an ATPase that is a regulatory subunit of the 26 S proteasome. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrates that the expression of the gene dramatically increases in the pre-eclosion period. Western analyses show increases in other related. ATPases including MS73, MSS1, and mts2 but not TBP1. A similar increase in the 30-kDa subunit of the 20 S proteasome occurs. There are accompanying large changes in the peptidase activities of the 26 S proteasome. Relative to the 30-kDa subunit, there is no change in MSS1 and MS73, a 3-fold increase in mts2, and a 5-fold decline in TBP1. A large increase in the concentration of 26 S proteasomes together with extensive regulatory reprogramming may facilitate rapid muscular proteolysis.

We isolated two mutants from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cim3-1 and cim5-1, that arrest cell division in G2/metaphase at 37 degrees C. CIM3 (identical to SUG1; ref. 1) and CIM5 are similar to each other and are members of a family of putative ATPases that have been proposed to be 26S protease subunits. We show here that CIM5 is the functional yeast homologue of the human MSS1 protein and that homologues of CIM3 and CIM5 are present in a highly purified preparation of the Drosophila 26S protease. The short-lived ubiquitin-proline-beta-galactosidase fusion protein is stabilized in cim mutants, but Leu-beta-galactosidase is not. The CLB2 and CLB3 cyclins also accumulate in the cim mutants. Thus the 26S protease is required in vivo for the degradation of ubiquitinated substrates and for anaphase chromosome separation.

The 26S proteasome complex plays a general role in turnover of both short and long lived proteins by specifically degrading ubiquitinated proteins. Recent evidence suggests that this large protease has more specific functions in a number of important cellular processes, ranging from activation of the transcription factor NFkB and antigen processing to transit through mitosis. We have identified a component of the 26S proteasome that interacts specifically with MB67, an orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. MIP224 (MB67 interacting protein) was isolated using the yeast two hybrid system and is apparently identical to the human 26S proteasome component TBP7. MIP224/TBP7 is one of several proteasomal proteins that share a strongly conserved ATPase domain (CAD) which is also present in a rapidly expanding superfamily of proteins with diverse functions. In yeast, MIP224 interacts specifically with MB67 and another closely related orphan receptor, but does not interact with several other receptor superfamily members tested. In mammalian cells, coexpression of MIP224 inhibits transactivation by MB67. MIP224 also interacts in yeast with other CAD proteins, including MSS1, which is proteasomal, and TRIP1, which is associated with transcriptional activation. This interaction of a proteasomal protein with a transcriptional protein suggests a previously unexpected link between the processes of protein degradation and transcriptional regulation.

Previously, we have shown extensive reprogramming of the ATPase regulator of the 26S proteasome preceding the programmed destruction of intersegmental muscles (ISM) in the tabacco horn moth Manduca sexta (Dawson et al., J. Biol. Chem, 270, 1850-1858, 1995). We now show that the extensive reprogramming of the regulatory components of the 26S proteasome occurs only in ISM and not in flight muscles (FM), which undergo terminal differentiation at ecdysis. Unlike in ISM, the ATPase regulators, MS73, MSS1, TBP1 and mts2, remain at low levels in 26S proteasomes in FM from developmental Stage-0 to Stage-7. The non-ATPase regulator subunit 5a, which binds to multiubiquitin chains, increased in ISM similarly to the ATPases but not in FM. The ecdysteroid agonist RH-5849 prevented these subunit increases in ISM. These findings show that reprogramming of 26 S proteasomes is involved in the specific elimination of ISM during eclosion and does not occur in FM which are needed for adult moth flight.

A precise knowledge of the role of subunits of the 19S complex and the PA28 regulator, which associate with the 20S proteasome and regulate its peptidase activities, may contribute to design new therapeutic approaches for preventing muscle wasting in human diseases. The proteasome is mainly responsible for the muscle wasting of tumor-bearing and unweighted rats. The expression of some ATPase (MSS1, P45) and non ATPase (P112-L, P31) subunits of the 19S complex, and of the two subunits of the PA28 regulator, was studied in such atrophying muscles. The mRNA levels for all studied subunits increased in unweighted rats, and analysis of MSS1 mRNA distribution profile in polyribosomes showed that this subunit entered active translation. By contrast, only the mRNA levels for MSS1 increased in the muscles from cancer rats. Thus, gene expression of the proteasome regulatory subunits depends on a given catabolic state. Torbafylline, a xanthine derivative which inhibits tumor necrosis factor production, prevented the activation of protein breakdown and the increased expression of 20S proteasome subunits in cancer rats, without reducing the elevated MSS1 mRNA levels. Thus, the increased expression of MSS1 is regulated independently of 20S proteasome subunits, and did not result in accelerated proteolysis.

A newly identified nuclear protein rich in leucine heptad repeats called HEC is important for mitosis. To elucidate its mechanism of action, the region containing leucine heptad repeats was used to identify cellular proteins that potentially interact with HEC. Complementary DNAs encoding several proteins including MSS1, p45, Nek2, and Smc1/Smc2, known to be important for G2/M progression, were identified. The interaction between HEC and MSS1, the seventh regulatory subunit of the 26 S proteasome, was further demonstrated by in vitro GST pull-down assays. HEC is not a part of the 26 S proteasome and interacts with MSS1 only when it is dissociated from the complex during M phase. Purified MSS1 specifically hydrolyzes ATP, an activity inhibited by HEC. In addition, HEC inhibits the proteolysis of mitotic cyclin B in vitro. Consistent with this biochemical activity, ectopic expression of HEC inhibits the degradation of mitotic cyclins after telophase, resulting eventually in cell death. These results show that HEC is a negative regulator of MSS1 and suggest that it may modulate M phase progression, in part, through the regulation of proteasome-mediated degradation of cell cycle regulatory proteins.

A differential PCR technique detected the transcriptional downregulation of the mss1 (mammalian suppressor of svg1) gene in murine J774A.1 macrophages following uptake of Salmonella typhimurium. This downregulation was also noted after entry of virulent strains of Listeria monocytogenes and Shigella flexneri, two other facultative intracellular bacterial species. In contrast, uptake of nonpathogenic Escherichia coli HB101, an aroA mutant of S. typhimurium, an invasion plasmid antigen B (ipaB) mutant of S. flexneri, hemolysin (hly) and positive-regulatory factor (prfA) mutants of L. monocytogenes, or latex beads produced mss1 expression levels similar to that of uninfected macrophages. Transcriptional downregulation of mss1 was also shown to occur in S. typhimurium-infected human U937 cells, albeit to an extent less than that in murine J774A.1 cells. In addition to a lower abundance of mss1 transcripts, we also demonstrate for the first time that less MSS1 protein was detected in intracellular-bacterium-infected cells (beginning about 1 h after entry of the pathogenic intracellular bacteria) than in noninfected cells. Some strains with specific mutations in characterized genes, such as an ipaB mutant strain of S. flexneri and an hly mutant strain of L. monocytogenes, did not elicit this lower level of expression of MSS1 protein. The decrease in MSS1 within infected macrophages resulted in an accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, substrates for MSS1. Since MSS1 comprises the ATPase part of the 26S protease that degrades ubiquitinated proteins, we hypothesize that downregulation of the mss1 gene by intracellular bacterial entry may help subvert the host cell's normal defensive response to internalized bacteria, allowing the intracellular bacteria to survive.

We purified by fractionation on 10-40% glycerol gradients, 26S proteasomes from normal human spermatozoa. These proteasomes, which participate in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins, share a similar sedimentation coefficient to those purified from other human tissues. Fluorogenic peptide assays reveal they have chymotrypsin, trypsin and peptidyl-glutamyl-like peptide hydrolysing activities; the chymotrypsin activity is ablated by the specific 26S proteasome inhibitor MG132. Confirmation that these large proteases are 26S proteasomes is provided by detection of the 20S proteasome subunits HC2, XAPC7, RN3 and Z and regulatory ATPases MSS1, TBP1, SUG1 and SUG2 by Western analyses with monoclonal antisera. These antigens are found only in the gradient fractions enriched in proteolytic activities. We have also shown that, although mature spermatozoa from mice have considerably reduced amounts of a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) and ubiquitin-protein conjugates in comparison with less mature germ cells, they retain relatively high values of 26S proteasome activity. This suggests that proteasomes may have further roles to play in normal sperm physiology.

The 26S proteasome is a eukaryotic ATP-dependent protease functioning as a protein death machine. It is a large multisubunit complex, consisting of a catalytic 20S proteasome and two regulatory modules, named PA700. The PA700 complex is composed of multiple subunits of 25-110 kDa, which are classified into two subgroups, a subgroup of at least 6 ATPases that consitute a unique multi-gene family encoding homologous polypeptides conserved during evolution and a subgroup of approximately 15 non-ATPase subunits, most of which are structurally unrelated to each other. In the present study, we report the chromosomal localization and immunological properties of six members of the human 26S proteasomal ATPase family. By use of the fluorescence in situ hybridization method, the S4 (PSMC1), MSS1 (PSMC2), TBP1 (PSMC3), TBP7 (PSMC4), p45 (PSMC5), and p42 (PSMC6) genes were mapped to human chromosomes 19p13.3, 7q22.1-q22.3, 11p11.2, 19q13.11-q13.13, 17q23.1-q23.3, and 12q15, respectively, indicating that the genes for multiple ATPases of the 26S proteasome are located on different chromosomes. Immunoblot analysis revealed that all these ATPases were associated with the purified 26S proteasome and that some of them showed striking heterogeneity in their electrical charges.

The 26S proteasome complex plays a major role in the non-lysosomal degradation of intracellular proteins. Purified 26S proteasomes give a pattern of more than 40 spots on 2D-PAGE gels. The positions of subunits have been identified by mass spectrometry of tryptic peptides and by immunoblotting with subunit-specific antipeptide antibodies. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteasomes immunoprecipitated from [32P]phosphate-labelled human embryo lung L-132 cells revealed the presence of at least three major phosphorylated polypeptides among the regulatory subunits as well as the C8 and C9 components of the core 20S proteasome. Comparison with the positions of the regulatory polypeptides revealed a minor phosphorylated form to be S7 (MSS1). Antibodies against S4, S6 (TBP7) and S12 (MOV34) all cross-reacted at the position of major phosphorylated polypeptides suggesting that several of the ATPase subunits may be phosphorylated. The phosphorylation of S4 was confirmed by double immunoprecipitation experiments in which 26S proteasomes were immunoprecipitated as above and dissociated and then S4 was immunoprecipitated with subunit-specific antibodies. Antibodies against the non-ATPase subunit S10, which has been suggested by others to be phosphorylated, did not coincide with the position of a phosphorylated polypeptide. Some differences were observed in the 2D-PAGE pattern of proteasomes immunoprecipitated from cultured cells compared to purified rat liver 26S proteasomes suggesting possible differences in subunit compositions of 26S proteasomes.
