Using a genetic strategy designed to find proteins involved in the function of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptional activator GAL4, we isolated mutants in two genes which rescue a class of gal4 activation domain mutants. One of these genes, SUG1, encodes a member of a large family of putative ATPases, the Conserved ATPase containing Domain (CAD) proteins (also known as AAA proteins) that are involved in a wide variety of cellular functions. Subsequently, SUG1 was identified as a subunit of the 26 S proteasome. We have now cloned the gene defined by the second complementation group. SUG2 encodes an essential 49-kDa protein that is also a member of the CAD family and is 43% identical to SUG1. The mutation in sug2-1, like that in sug1-1, is found in the CAD near the highly conserved ATPase motif. We present biochemical and genetic evidence that SUG2 is associated in vivo with SUG1 and is a novel CAD protein subunit of the 26 S proteasome. With its highly conserved mammalian homologs, human p42 and ground squirrel CADp44, SUG2 defines a new class of proteasomal CAD proteins.

There is extensive reprogramming of the ATPase regulators of the 26S proteasome before the programmed elimination of the abdominal intersegmental muscles (ISM) after eclosion in Manduca sexta [1]. This extensive ATPase reprogramming only occurs in ISM which are destined to die and not in flight muscle (FM). The MS73 ATPase also increases in the proleg retractor muscles which die at a developmentally different stage to ISM. The non-ATPase regulator S5a shows a similar increase to the ATPase regulators. We have cloned the Manduca SUG2 ATPase and shown that this ATPase is a component of the 26S proteasome. This ATPase shows a similar increase in concentration to the other ATPases in 26S proteasomes before muscle death. The SUG2 ATPase is also associated with other smaller complexes besides the 26S proteasome which act as activators of the 26S proteasome. Finally, in a yeast two-hybrid genetic screen we have identified a protein in human brain which interacts with the MS73 ATPase (and human S6). The interacting protein contains 6 ankyrin repeats and is co-immunoprecipitated with anti-MS73 antiserum after in vitro transcription/translation. The ankyrin repeat protein may interact with the MS73 ATPase as part of the substrate recognition process by the 26S proteasome. Many proteins degraded by the 26S proteasome contain ankyrin repeats, e.g. IkB and some cyclins: binding through ankyrin repeats to an ATPase regulator may complement protein ubiquitination and S5a binding as recognition signals by the 26S proteasome.

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.

Each 19S regulator of the 26S proteasome contains six ATPase subunits as well as many (>14) non-ATPase protein subunits. The ATPase subunits have been detected in other complexes which may regulate transcription and possibly other cellular processes. The S10b (yeast SUG2 or human p42) and the S6' (TBP1) ATPases have been found in an activator complex (modulator) prepared from bovine red cells. We have identified and partially characterised a similar activator from different human tissues (from soluble extracts of human brain, placenta and human embryonic kidney cells) and an insect: an activator is present in soluble extracts of abdominal intersegmental muscle from Manduca sexta. Activation is ATP and concentration dependent. There is no stimulation of human red cell-derived 20S proteasome by the Manduca activator ruling out 11S regulator in the preparations. Additionally, cross-species activation occurs: the Manduca activator increases the activity of rat skeletal muscle 26S proteasomes and the human placental activator similarly increases the activity of 26S proteasomes prepared from muscles from Manduca sexta. Finally, there is no evidence for other ATPases in the activator complex.

The S10b (SUG2) ATPase cDNA has been cloned by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction/rapid amplification of cDNA ends from mRNA of intersegmental muscles of the tobacco horn moth (Manduca sexta). The S10b ATPase is a component of the 26 S proteasome, and its concentration and that of its mRNA increase dramatically during development in a manner similar to other ATPases of the 19 S regulator of the 26 S proteasome. The S10b and S6' (TBP1) ATPases are also present in a complex of approximately 220 kDa in intersegmental muscles. The 220-kDa complex markedly activates (2-10-fold) the 26 S proteasome, even when bound to anti-S10b antibodies immobilized on Sepharose, and increases in concentration approximately 5-fold like the 26 S proteasome in the intersegmental muscles in preparation for the programmed death of the muscle cells. A similar activator complex is present in human brain and placenta. Free activator complexes cross-activate: the Manduca complex activates rat skeletal muscle 26 S proteasomes, and the placental complex activates Manduca 26 S proteasomes. The placental activator complex contains S10b and S6', but not p27. This 220-kDa activator complex has been evolutionarily conserved between species from insect to man and may have a fundamental role in proteasome regulation.

The Gal system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a paradigm for eukaryotic gene regulation. Expression of genes required for growth on galactose is regulated by the transcriptional activator Gal4. The activation function of Gal4 has been localized to 34 amino acids near the C terminus of the protein. The gal4D allele of GAL4 encodes a truncated protein in which only 14 amino acids of the activation domain remain. Expression of GAL genes is dramatically reduced in gal4D strains and these strains are unable to grow on galactose as the sole carbon source. Overexpression of gal4D partially relieves the defect in GAL gene expression and allows growth on galactose. A search for extragenic suppressors of gal4D identified recessive mutations in the SUG1 and SUG2 genes, which encode ATPases of the 19S regulatory complex of the proteasome. The proteasome is responsible for the ATP-dependent degradation of proteins marked for destruction by the ubiquitin system. It has been commonly assumed that effects of SUG1 and SUG2 mutations on transcription are explained by alterations in the proteolysis of gal4D protein. We have investigated this assumption. Surprisingly, we find that SUG1 and SUG2 alleles that are unable to suppress gal4D cause a larger increase in gal4D protein levels than do suppressing alleles. In addition, mutations in genes encoding subunits of the proteolytic 20S sub-complex of the proteasome increase the levels of gal4D protein but do not rescue its transcriptional activity. Therefore, an alteration in the proteolysis of gal4D by the proteasome cannot explain the effects of mutations in SUG1 and SUG2 on expression of GAL genes. These findings suggest that the 19S regulatory complex may play a more direct role in transcription.

The 26S proteasome is a large multisubunit complex involved in degrading both cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins. We have investigated the subcellular distribution of four regulatory ATPase subunits (S6 (TBP7/MS73), S6' (TBP1), S7 (MSS1), and S10b (SUG2)) together with components of 20S proteasomes in the intersegmental muscles (ISM) of Manduca sexta during developmentally programmed cell death (PCD). Immunogold electron microscopy shows that S6 is located in the heterochromatic part of nuclei of ISM fibres. S6' is present in degraded material only outside intact fibres. S7 can be detected in nuclei, cytoplasm and also in degraded material. S10b, on the other hand, is initially found in nuclei and subsequently in degraded cytoplasmic locations during PCD. 20S proteasomes are present in all areas where ATPase subunits are detected, consistent with the presence of intact 26S proteasomes. These results are discussed in terms of heterogeneity of 26S proteasomes, 26S proteasome disassembly and the possible role of ATPases in non-proteasome complexes in the process of PCD.

It is generally thought that the primary or even sole activity of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome is to facilitate the degradation of polyubiquitinated proteins by the 20S-core subunit. However, we present evidence that the 19S complex is required for efficient elongation of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) in vitro and in vivo. First, yeast strains carrying alleles of SUG1 and SUG2, encoding 19S components, exhibit phenotypes indicative of elongation defects. Second, in vitro transcription is inhibited by antibodies raised against Sug1, or by heat-inactivating temperature-sensitive Sug1 mutants with restoration of elongation by addition of immunopurified 19S complex. Finally, Cdc68, a known elongation factor, coimmunoprecipitates with the 19S complex, indicating a physical interaction. Inhibition of the 20S proteolytic core of the proteasome has no effect on elongation. This work defines a nonproteolytic role for the 19S complex in RNAP II transcription.

An in vivo protein interaction assay was used to search a yeast cDNA library for proteins that bind to the acidic activation domain (AD) of the yeast Gal4 protein. Sug2 protein, a component of the 19 S regulatory particle of the 26 S proteasome, was one of seven proteins identified in this screen. In vitro binding assays confirm a direct interaction between these proteins. SUG2 and SUG1, another 19 S component, were originally discovered as a mutation able to suppress the phenotype of a Gal4 truncation mutant (Gal4(D)p) lacking much of its AD. Sug1p has previously been shown to bind the Gal4 AD in vitro. Taken together, these genetic and biochemical data suggest a biologically significant interaction between the Gal4 protein and the 19 S regulatory particle of the proteasome. Indeed, it is demonstrated here that the Gal4 AD interacts specifically with immunopurified 19 S complex. The proteasome regulatory particle has been shown recently to play a direct role in RNA polymerase II transcription and the activator-19 S interaction could be important in recruiting this large complex to transcriptionally active GAL genes.

P42, encoded by a colinear transcript of Influenza C virus RNA segment 6 (M gene), is an integral membrane protein which is cleaved by signal peptidase to generate M1' and CM2 composed of N-terminal 259 amino acids and C-terminal 115 amino acids, respectively. Herein, the biochemical features of P42 were investigated. N-glycosylated form of P42, designated P44, forms disulphide-linked dimers and tetramers. P44 is transported to the Golgi apparatus, but not to the trans-Golgi, since P44 is completely sensitive to endoglycosidase H. P44 and P42 are unstable irrespective of N-glycosylation or oligomerization. 26S proteasome inhibitor, lactacystin prevented the degradation of P42 as well as M1', but not that of P44 efficiently, suggesting that P44 is degraded by another protease besides the 26S proteasome.
