Study Notes
Protein Degradation - Proteasome
- Protein degradation is essential for cellular function.
- The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular response to an increase in unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum.
- ER-associated degradation (ERAD) is a pathway that targets misfolded proteins in the ER for degradation by the proteasome.
- Ubiquitination is a process that marks proteins for degradation by the proteasome.
- Proteasomes are large protein complexes that degrade target proteins.
- Proteasome assembly and structure are critical functions.
- The proteasome and chaperones work together in folding and destruction.
- Eukaryotes may have up to 30% misfolded proteins at a time.
- Toxic protein aggregates can be dominant negatives.
- Misfolding can occur due to mutations, or post-synthetic damage (e.g., oxidation, glycation, deamidation).
- There are ~50 diseases linked to UPS/ERAD which can also result in apoptosis.
Proteasome Overview
- Proteasomes are involved in a range of cellular processes, far beyond the degradation of misfolded proteins.
- Regulation of protein degradation provides homeostasis.
- Protein control systems ensure accuracy and function are vital.
- Protection of other cellular components is crucial, especially in bacteria that lack compartments.
- Efficient machinery (auto-assembly, auto-organization) is needed.
- Proteins destined for degradation in the ER require specific mechanisms to exit the ER, including the UPR and ERAD pathways.
- The pathways are crucial for maintaining cellular health and function, influencing cellular processes such as immune response and antigen presentation.
- Different types of ubiquitination (mono, multi- and poly-ubiquitination) can occur.
Ubiquitination
- Ubiquitination is a crucial step in protein degradation.
- Ubiquitination involves the attachment of a small protein called ubiquitin to a target protein. This can take different forms(mono, multi, poly).
- Ubiquitination can be mono-, multi-, or poly-ubiquitination, with different outcomes.
- Proteasomes recognize poly-ubiquitinated proteins for degradation.
Protein Degradation - Proteasome, Further considerations
- Ubiquitination is essential for protein degradation.
- The proteasome complex plays an important role in protein turnover within cells.
- Spacial and temporal control is important during protein degradation, with compartments protecting cells from damage.
- Compartmentalization protects cells from unwanted proteolysis damaging the cell.
- Chaperones are needed for unfolding and to assist cells in protein folding.
- The ER is not a degradation compartment but assists in the protein degradation process by chaperones and assistance mechanisms before a target protein can be degraded.
ERAD
- ERAD is involved in degrading misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
- The process is tightly linked to folding and quality control.
- ERAD plays a role in numerous cellular processes and requires different steps (induction/attenuation, retrotransport, degradation).
- ERAD is an important quality control mechanism, ensuring proper function of proteins involved in various cellular processes.
Proteasomes: Steps in degradation
- Binding
- Unfolding
- Translocation and hydrolysis
- Release
Proteasome: Structure and Components
- PA700, PA28, and other components are related to this.
- Proteasome inhibitors can be a topic of therapeutic interest.
Proteasome: Other Aspects
- Ubiquitin-like modifications (UBLs) are involved in protein regulation, transport, and degradation.
- SUMO and NEDD8 are examples of UBLs with different roles and functions.
- The different forms of ubiquitination allow different types of regulatory functions.
- The structure of the proteasome is critical for its function, particularly the proteolytic chambers.
- Proteasome chambers and their function are important to study, involving high-resolution EM, interactions with other proteins, cross-linking, X-ray, and NMR analysis.
- Proteins can be acetylated for modification or as a signal for their degradation. Note that acetylation can impact protein folding, localization, and potentially degradation.
