Hs1VU in E. coli is a new type of ATP-dependent protease composed of two heat shock proteins, the HslU ATPase and the HslV peptidase related to certain beta-type subunits of the 20S proteasome. Here we show that the ATP-dependent hydrolysis of N-carbobenzoxy-Gly-Gly-Leu-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin by the HslVU protease can be markedly stimulated by poly-L-lysine, that is known to activate the casein-degrading activity of the 20S proteasome. However, poly-L-lysine showed little or no effect on the peptidase activity of HslV itself. Instead, it stimulated the hydrolysis of ATP by HslU several-fold. Histone that could stimulate the ATPase activity of HslU also increased the rate of the ATP-dependent peptide hydrolysis by HslV, although to a much lesser extent than by poly-L-lysine. Thus, the poly-L-lysine-mediated increase in the ATPase activity of HslU appears to be responsible for the dramatic activation of the ATP-dependent peptide hydrolysis by HslV. These results suggest that, in the reconstituted HslVU complex, the peptide hydrolysis by HslV occurs in a tightly coupled process with the cleavage of ATP by HslU.

The 26 S proteasome can be assembled from the multicatalytic protease (or 20 S proteasome) and a large multisubunit regulatory complex in an ATP-dependent reaction. The 26 S proteasome and its regulatory complex were purified from rabbit reticulocytes for characterization of their nucleotidase properties. Both particles hydrolyze ATP, CTP, GTP, and UTP to the corresponding nucleoside diphosphate and inorganic phosphate. The Km values for hydrolysis of specific nucleotides by the 26 S proteasome are 15 microM for ATP and CTP, 50 microM for GTP, and 100 microM for UTP; Km values for nucleotide hydrolysis by the regulatory complex are 2-4-fold higher for each nucleotide. Several ATPase inhibitors (erythro-9-[3-(2-hydroxynonyl)]adenine, oligomycin, ouabain, and thapsigargin) had no effect on ATP hydrolysis by either complex whereas known inhibitors of proteolysis by the 26 S enzyme (hemin, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and vanadate) significantly reduced ATP hydrolysis by both particles. Hydrolysis of all nucleotides was inhibited by 5 mM NEM but only GTP and UTP hydrolysis was significantly reduced at 50 microM NEM. The 15 microM Km for ATP hydrolysis by the 26 S proteasome is virtually identical to the observed Km of 12 microM ATP for Ub-conjugate degradation. Although nucleotide hydrolysis is required for protein degradation by the 26 S proteasome, nucleotide hydrolysis and peptide bond cleavage are not strictly coupled. Substrate specificity constants (kcat/Km) are similar for hydrolysis of each nucleotide, yet GTP and UTP barely supported Ub-conjugate degradation. Further evidence that nucleotide hydrolysis is not coupled to peptide bond cleavage was obtained using N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal (LLnL). This compound inhibited peptide hydrolysis by the multicatalytic protease and Ub-conjugate degradation by the 26 S proteasome, but it had little effect on ATP or UTP hydrolysis by the 26 S enzyme.

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.

MS73 is one of a family of ATPases that act as regulatory subunits of the 26S proteasome. Localisation of this ATPase in histological sections of hippocampus from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in cingulate gyrus sections of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) brains was examined immunohistochemically. In all cases of AD (n = 10) neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), plaque neurites and neuropil threads were immunoreactive for MS73. In seven out of the nine cases of DLB, distinctive MS73-positive structures were detected within cortical Lewy bodies. The association of MS73 with these neuronal abnormalities provides further evidence that proteolytic processing involving the 26S proteasome occurs in lesions of AD and DLB.

We have identified a novel protein, CADp44, based on the analysis of cDNAs derived from the brainstem of the 13-lined ground squirrel, Spermophilus tridecemlineatus. CADp44 has an unmodified molecular mass of 44,178 Da and contains multiple functional domains, including a conserved ATPase domain (CAD) and a leucine zipper motif. We show that distinct regions of the CADp44 sequence are identical to a set of peptides prepared from a recently identified bovine protein, referred to as p42, which is found in the PA700 regulatory complex of the 26S proteasome (DeMartino et al., 1996). We also show that CADp44 is the functional homolog of the newly characterized Sug2 protein from the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Russell et al., 1996). Consistent with its role as a component of the 26S proteasome, CADp44 mRNA is found in all ground squirrel tissues examined. Evolutionary relationships based on sequence analysis show that both CADp44 and yeast Sug2p are distinct from the other five CAD ATPases found in the PA700, and together comprise the sixth and newest CAD subunit of the regulatory complex of the 26S proteasome.

ClpQ (HslV) is a homolog of the beta-subunits of the 20S proteasome. In E. coli, it is expressed from an operon that also encodes ClpY (HslU), an ATPase homologous to the protease chaperone, ClpX. ClpQ (subunit Mr 19,000) and ClpY (subunit Mr 49,000) were purified separately as oligomeric proteins with molecular weights of approximately 220,000 and approximately 350,000, respectively, estimated by gel filtration. Mixtures of ClpY and ClpQ displayed ATP-dependent proteolytic activity against casein, and a complex of the two proteins was isolated by gel filtration in the presence of ATP. Image processing of negatively stained electron micrographs revealed strong six-fold rotational symmetry for both ClpY and ClpQ, suggesting that the subunits of both proteins are arranged in hexagonal rings. The molecular weight of ClpQ combined with its symmetry is consistent with a double hexameric ring, whereas the data on ClpY suggest only one such ring. The symmetry mismatch previously observed between hexameric ClpA and heptameric ClpP in the related ClpAP protease is apparently not reproduced in the symmetry-matched ClpYQ system.

MS73, an ATPase regulatory subunit of the 26S proteasome in the moth Manduca sexta, is shown to be expressed at a high level only in muscles that are undergoing developmentally programmed cell death, or which are destined to do so. The amount of MS73 is increased by more than two-fold just before death in each of three different muscles that die at different times, under different developmental controls. An ecdysteroid (moulting hormone) agonist, RH-5849, that prevents the occurrence of programmed cell death in two of these muscles also prevents the normally occurring rise in level of MS73 in these muscles. This evidence is consistent with a role for MS73 in programmed cell death.

HslVU is a new two-component protease in Escherichia coli composed of the proteasome-related peptidase HslIV and the ATPase HsIU. We have used electron microscopy and image analysis to examine the structural organization of HslV and HslU homo-oligomers and the active HslVU enzyme. Electron micrographs of HslV reveal ring-shaped particles, and averaging of top views reveal six-fold rotational symmetry, in contrast to other beta-type proteasome subunits, which form rings with seven-fold symmetry. Side views of HslV show two rings stacked together, thus, HslV behaves as dodecamer. The ATPase HslU forms ring-shaped particles in the presence of ATP, AMP-PNP or ADP, suggesting that nucleotide binding, but not hydrolysis, is required for oligomerization. Subunit crosslinking, STEM mass estimation, and analysis of HslU top views indicate that HslU exists both as hexameric and heptameric rings. With AMP-PNP present, maximal proteolytic activity is observed with a molar ratio of HslU to HslV subunits of 1:1, and negative staining electron microscopy shows that HslV and HsIU form cylindrical four-ring structures in which the HsIV dodecamer is flanked at each end by a HslU ring.

A member of the AAA family of Mg2(+)-ATPases from the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The protein, VCP-like ATPase of Thermoplasma acidophilum (VAT), is a homologue of SAV from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and CdcH of Halobacterium salinarium, and belongs to the CDC48/VCP/p97 subfamily. The deduced product of the vat gene is 745 residues long (Mr 83,000), which has an optimal Mg2(+)-ATPase activity at 70 degrees C. Electron microscopy shows the purified protein to form single and double homo-hexameric rings. Although the symmetry is different, the appearance of the complexes formed of two rings resembles the 20S proteasome and Hsp60/GroEL.

Recent studies of the 20S proteasome from Thermoplasma acidophilum have uncovered some fundamental new properties of its catalytic mechanism. Unlike conventional proteases, 20S and 26S proteasomes degrade protein substrates in a highly processive fashion. They cleave a protein substrate to small peptides before attacking another substrate molecule. This processive behavior is an inherent feature of the 20S particle not requiring cofactors or ATP hydrolysis. Recently, we have described a proteasome-like particle, HslVU, in Escherichia coli. HslVU is a two-component ATP-dependent protease composed of the proteasome-related peptidase HslV (beta-subunit) and the ATPase HslU. In active HslVU complex, cleavage of small peptides and proteins requires the presence of ATP. EM analysis revealed that HslV and HslU are both ring-shaped particles and that the active HslVU complex is a cylindrical four-ring structure, composed of HslV, a two-ring dodecamer, sandwiched between HslU rings. Elucidation of its mode of action may help us understand the role of ATP in function of the 26S proteasome. Several proteasome-specific inhibitors have been recently identified which block the function of proteasome in vivo. These agents have proven very useful to clarify the intracellular function of the proteasome. In mammalian cells, both the rapid degradation of short-lived regulatory proteins and of abnormal polypeptides and the slower degradation of long-lived proteins are blocked by these agents. Thus, in mammalian cells, the proteasome is the site for the degradation of most cell proteins. In contrast, in budding yeast, proteasome inhibitors block the degradation of short-lived proteins but not the breakdown of long-lived proteins, which can be blocked by inhibitors of vacuolar proteases. The inhibition of proteasome function in yeast and mammalian cells, presumably by causing an accumulation of unfolded proteins, triggers the expression of heat shock proteins and concomitantly increases cell resistance to high temperature and various toxic insults.
