The function of the proteasome is controlled by a variety of specific regulatory proteins including activators, inhibitors, and modulators. Two recently discovered activators, termed PA28 and PA700, bind to the terminal rings of the proteasome to form proteasome-regulatory complexes which display greatly increased proteolytic activity. PA28 is a high-affinity activator of the proteasome's multiple peptidase activities. The carboxyl terminus of PA28 is required for its binding to the proteasome. PA700 binds to the proteasome via an ATP-dependent mechanism. PA700 has ATPase activity, and at least four of PA700's 16 subunits are members of a protein family containing a concensus sequence for ATP binding. Proteasome-PA700 complexes are activated with respect to both the hydrolysis of peptide substrates and the hydrolysis of ubiquitinated proteins.

Renal ischemia causes a rapid fall in cellular ATP, increased intracellular calcium (Ca(i)), and dissociation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase from the cytoskeleton along with initiation of a stress response. We examined changes in Ca(i), Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase detergent solubility, and activation of heat-shock transcription factor (HSF) in relation to graded reduction of ATP in LLC-PK(1) cells to determine whether initiation of the stress response was related to any one of these perturbations alone. Ca(i) increased first at 75% of control ATP. Triton X-100 solubility of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase increased below 70% control ATP. Reducing cellular ATP below 50% control consistently activated HSF. Stepped decrements in cellular ATP below the respective thresholds caused incremental increases in Ca(i), Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase solubility, and HSF activation. ATP depletion activated both HSF1 and HSF2. Proteasome inhibition caused activation of HSF1 and HSF2 in a pattern similar to ATP depletion. Lactate dehydrogenase release remained at control levels irrespective of the degree of ATP depletion. Progressive accumulation of nonnative proteins may be the critical signal for the adaptive induction of the stress response in renal epithelia.

During development, tissue repair, and tumor metastasis, both cell-cell dissociation and cell migration occur and appear to be intimately linked, such as during epithelial "scattering." Here we show that cell-cell dissociation during scattering induced by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or activation of the temperature-sensitive v-Src tyrosine kinase in MDCK cells can be blocked by inhibiting the proteasome with lactacystin and MG132. Although both proteins of the tight junction and the adherens junction redistributed during cell scattering, proteasome inhibitors largely prevented this process, resulting in the stabilization of Triton X-100-insoluble tight junction proteins as well as adherens junction proteins at sites of cell-cell contact. Proteasome inhibition also led to a decrease of E-cadherin turnover in (35)S-labeled cells. In addition, proteasome inhibition partly preserved cell polarity, as determined by the subcellular distribution of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (basolateral marker) and gp135 (apical marker), and the structure of the subcortical actin ring, both of which are normally disrupted during scattering. However, cells were able to establish focal contacts, and single cell migration toward HGF was unaffected by proteasome inhibition in quantitative assays, indicating that cell-cell dissociation during scattering occurs independently of anchorage-dependent cell migration. Thus, a proteasome-dependent step during scattering induced by HGF and pp60(v-Src) appears to be essential for cell-cell dissociation, disassembly of junctional components, and (at least indirectly) it also plays a role in the loss of protein polarity.

Chemotherapy has cachectic effects, but it is unknown whether cytostatic agents alter skeletal muscle proteolysis. We hypothesized that chemotherapy-induced alterations in protein synthesis should result in the increased incidence of abnormal proteins, which in turn should stimulate ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent proteolysis. The effects of the nitrosourea cystemustine were investigated in skeletal muscles from both healthy and colon 26 adenocarcinoma-bearing mice, an appropriate model for testing the impact of cytostatic agents. Muscle wasting was seen in both groups of mice 4 days after a single cystemustine injection, and the drug further increased the loss of muscle proteins already apparent in tumor-bearing animals. Cystemustine cured the tumor-bearing mice with 100% efficacy. Surprisingly, within 11 days of treatment, rates of muscle proteolysis progressively decreased below basal levels observed in healthy control mice and contributed to the cessation of muscle wasting. Proteasome-dependent proteolysis was inhibited by mechanisms that include reduced mRNA levels for 20S and 26S proteasome subunits, decreased protein levels of 20S proteasome subunits and the S14 non-ATPase subunit of the 26S proteasome, and impaired chymotrypsin- and trypsin-like activities of the enzyme. A combination of cisplatin and ifosfamide, two drugs that are widely used in the treatment of cancer patients, also depressed the expression of proteasomal subunits in muscles from rats bearing the MatB adenocarcinoma below basal levels. Thus, a down-regulation of ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent proteolysis is observed with various cytostatic agents and contributes to reverse the chemotherapy-induced muscle wasting.

Proteasome-mediated processing of the nfkappab2 gene product p100 is a regulated event that generates the NF-kappaB subunit p52. This event can be induced through p100 phosphorylation by a signaling pathway involving the nuclear factor-kappaB-inducing kinase (NIK). The C-terminal region of p100, which contains its phosphorylation site and a death domain, plays a pivotal role in regulating the processing of p100. To understand the biochemical mechanism of p100 processing, we searched for cellular factors interacting with the C-terminal regulatory region of p100 using the yeast two-hybrid system. This led to the identification of S9, a non-ATPase subunit of the 19 S proteasome with no known functions. Interestingly, the S9/p100 interaction could be induced by NIK but not by a catalytically inactive NIK mutant. This inducible molecular interaction required p100 ubiquitination and was dependent on the intact death domain. We further demonstrated that the death domain is essential for NIK-induced post-translational processing of p100, thus providing a functional link between the S9 binding and the processing of p100. Finally, we provide genetic evidence for the essential role of S9 in the inducible processing of p100.

The molecular chaperone Hsp90 affects the function and fate of a number of signaling molecules. We have investigated the Hsp90 requirement for constitutive and inducible activity of the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex and of NF-kappaB. Inhibition by the Hsp90 ATPase inhibitors, geldanamycin (GA) and radicicol (RC), revealed that Hsp90 controls IKKs at two levels, inducibility of enzymatic activity and biogenesis, which can be discriminated by short- and long-time GA incubation, respectively. Short-time inhibition of Hsp90 resulted in impaired IKK kinase activation by TNFalpha, IL-1beta or phorbolester PMA. Furthermore, GA inhibited constitutive activation of IKK and NF-kappaB in Hodgkin's lymphoma cells. Hsp90 function was also required for trans- and autophosphorylation of transfected IKKbeta. GA exposure for several hours resulted in a downmodulation of IKK complex alpha, beta and gamma subunits to various extent. Proteasome inhibition interfered with GA mediated IKK depletion and Hsp90 inhibition induced polyubiquitination of IKKalpha and beta during protein synthesis. In fact, GA blocked biogenesis of IKKalpha and IKKbeta but did not interfere with post-translational turnover. Together, these results define a dual requirement for Hsp90 as a regulator of NF-kappaB signaling by its general involvement in IKK activation and by its role in IKK homeostasis.

Loss of skeletal muscle is an important determinant of survival in patients with cancer-induced weight loss. The effect of the leucine metabolite beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) on the reduction of body weight loss and protein degradation in the MAC16 model of cancer-induced weight loss has been compared with that of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a recognized inhibitor of protein degradation. HMB was found to attenuate the development of weight loss at a dose greater than 0.125 g/kg accompanied by a small reduction in tumor growth rate. When EPA was used at a suboptimal dose level (0.6 g/kg) the combination with HMB seemed to enhance the anticachectic effect. Both treatments caused an increase in the wet weight of soleus muscle and a reduction in protein degradation, although there did not seem to be a synergistic effect of the combination. Proteasome activity, determined by the "chymotrypsin-like" enzyme activity, was attenuated by both HMB and EPA. Protein expression of the 20S alpha or beta subunits was reduced by at least 50%, as were the ATPase subunits MSS1 and p42 of the 19S proteasome regulatory subunit. This was accompanied by a reduction in the expression of E2(14k) ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The combination of EPA and HMB was at least as effective or more effective than either treatment alone. Attenuation of proteasome expression was reflected as a reduction in protein degradation in gastrocnemius muscle of cachectic mice treated with HMB. In addition, HMB produced a significant stimulation of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. These results suggest that HMB preserves lean body mass and attenuates protein degradation through down-regulation of the increased expression of key regulatory components of the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway, together with stimulation of protein synthesis.

Infective juveniles (IJs) of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Steinernema feltiae IS-6 can survive exposure to 24% glycerol solution by entering an osmotically desiccated state. Exposure of osmotically desiccated nematodes to extreme temperature assays (40 degrees C for 10 h and -20 degrees C for 360 h) resulted in gradual reduction in survival, whereas non-desiccated IJs died within a short exposure to the assay conditions. Through SDS-PAGE, a stress-related protein UNC-87 was found in osmotically desiccated IJs exposed to 40 degrees C for 3, 6, and 8 h, whose survival rates were 98.9+/-1.43, 78.5+/-5.87 and 20.9+/-4.93%, respectively. The protein was not found in IJs following exposure of osmotically desiccated individuals to 40 degrees C for 10 h, in which none of the IJs survived. After exposure to -20 degrees C for 360 h, the survival of osmotically desiccated EPNs with a weak band of UNC-87 was 13.0+/-3.32%. To identify other responsive proteins that are required for osmotic stress, we used 2-dimensional electrophoresis to analyse the proteins in osmotically desiccated EPNs. The results revealed that 10 novel protein spots and 10 up-regulated protein spots in osmotically desiccated IJs were detected by digital image analysis. Mass spectrometry analysis of 7 significant spots indicated that osmotic stress in desiccated IJs was associated with the induction of actin, Proteasome regulatory particle (ATPase-like), GroEL chaperonin, GroES co-chaperonin and transposase family member. It seems to show actin, UNC-87 and Proteasome regulatory particle may play distinct roles in specific aspects of organization of macromolecular structures under desiccation stress. GroEL and GroES are members of the Hsp60 family of chaperons.

The presence of growth hormone (GH) and GH receptors (GHRs) in the lung suggests it is an autocrine/paracrine target site for pulmonary GH action and/or an endocrine site of pituitary GH action. Roles for GH in lung growth or pulmonary function are, however, uncertain. The possibility that pituitary and/or pulmonary GH have physiological roles in lung development has therefore been investigated in GHR knockout (KO or -/-) mice, using a proteomics approach to determine if an absence of GH-signaling affects the proteome of the developing lung. More than 600 proteins were detected by 2-DE in the lungs of control [GHR (+/+)] and GHR (-/-) mice at the end of the alveolarization period (at day 14 postnatally). Of these, 39 differed significantly in protein content at the p>0.05 level [6 were of higher abundance in the GHR (-/-) group, 33 were of lower abundance] and 17 differed at the p>0.02 level [5 of higher abundance in the GHR (-/-) group, 12 of lower abundance] and 7 were definitively identified by MS. Vimentin, a protein involved in cellular proliferation, was reduced in content by approximately 75% in the lungs of the GHR (-/-) mice. Three proteins involved in oxidative protection [SH3 domain-binding glutamic acid-rich-like protein, peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6), and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1] were also of lower content in the GHR (-/-) lungs (by approximately 88%, 81% and 70%, respectively). Prdx6 is also involved in lipid and surfactant metabolism, as is apolipoprotein A-IV, the lung content of which was reduced by approximately 73% in these mice. Proteasome 26S ATPase subunit 4, a protein involved in the non-lysosomal degradation of intracellular proteins, and electron flavoprotein alpha subunit , involved in intracellular metabolism, were also reduced in content in the lungs of the GHR (-/-) mice (by approximately 70% and 49%, respectively). These results therefore suggest that these proteins are normally dependent upon GH signaling, and that GH is normally involved in early lung growth, oxidative protection, lipid and energy metabolism and in proteasomal activity. These roles may reflect endocrine actions of pituitary GH and/or local autocrine/paracrine actions of GH produced within the lung.

Proteasome-mediated turnover of misfolded secretory and transmembrane proteins at the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane is dependent on a AAA-ATPase complex formed by the ubiquitin-selective chaperone Cdc48p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammals by the Cdc48p homologue p97. Two new papers reveal that the Ubx2 protein physically links ER-membrane-integrated ubiquitin ligases to Cdc48p, and that it is essential for degradation of substrates that are ubiquitylated at the cytoplasmic face of the ER.
