Download or read book Ubiquitin Proteasome System written by Aldrin V. Gomes and published by Nova Medicine & Health. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, major advancements in our understanding of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) have occurred. This book focuses on recent trends in the UPS. The UPS is possibly the most complex of all intracellular pathways as close to 7% of all genes in the human genome make up part of the UPS. This complex system serves as an essential role in intracellular protein degradation, and because of its critical function, improper functioning of the UPS is associated with nearly all know diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological diseases. The proteolytic component of the UPS is the proteasome, a multicatalytic complex found in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Another form of the proteasome, the immunoproteasome, is less abundant than the constitutive proteasome, but is important in immune response and degradation of oxidized proteins, and recent research suggests that it may be important in longevity. The articles in this book discuss recent findings which indicate that mutations in proteins involved with the UPS are associated with genetic diseases such as familial dilated cardiomyopathy, Nakajo syndrome, and spinal muscular atrophy (X-linked). Some chapters also discuss recent results which suggest that the UPS is heavily regulated by post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation, and methylation. The UPS is also heavily regulated by ubiquitination itself. This book contains a research article using PubMed bibliometric data to present current research trends in the UPS. Articles are written so that no one tissue is emphasized to allow readers from any discipline to benefit from this information.

Download or read book Protein Degradation in Health and Disease written by Michèle Reboud-Ravaux and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protein degradation has been identified as a major mechanism for the regulation of cellular functions. Not surprisingly, its deregulation is implied in almost any pathological condition. This book describes how aged proteins are eliminated during cell metabolism, how cell proliferation is regulated by protein degradation and how its deregulation can contribute to the development of cancer, how protein degradation is modified during normal and abnormal aging, in particular with regard to Alzheimer's disease and other degenerative diseases of the brain and central nervous system. Attempts aiming at correcting these pathologies by interfering with deviations of the normal pathway of protein degradation are also treated.
Download or read book Ubiquitin Proteasome System written by Matthew Summers and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is comprised of nearly 1000 proteins. Although originally identified as a mechanism of protein destruction, the UPS has numerous additional functions and mediates central signaling events in myriad processes involved in both cellular and organismal health and homeostasis. Numerous pathways within the UPS are implicated in disease, ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's. The goal of this book is to deliver a collection of synopses of current areas of UPS research that highlights the importance of understanding the biology of the UPS to identify disease-relevant pathways, and the need to elucidate the molecular machinations within the UPS to develop methods for therapeutic modulation of these pathways.

Following a basic introduction, it explains how defects in protein homeostasis contribute to numerous pathologies, including cancer, neurodegeneration, inflammation and a number of rare diseases. In addition, it discusses, the role of protein homeostasis in cellular development and physiology. Highlighting the latest research in the field of protein homeostasis and its implications for various clinically relevant diseases, the book appeals to researchers and clinicians, while also offering a reference guide for scholars who are new to the field.
Download or read book Ubiquitin and the Biology of the Cell written by Jan-Michael Peters and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-05-31 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last several years have been a landmark period in the ubiquitin field. The breadth of ubiquitin's roles in cell biology was first sketched, and the importance of ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis as a regulatory mechanism gained general acceptance. The many strands of work that led to this new perception are re counted in this book. A consequence of this progress is that the field has grown dramatically since the first book on ubiquitin was published almost a decade ago [M. Rechsteiner (ed. ), Ubiquitin, Plenum Press, 1988]. In this span, students of the cell cycle, transcription, signal transduction, protein sorting, neuropathology, cancer, virology, and immunology have attempted to chart the role of ubi quit in in their particular experimental systems, and this integration of the field into cell biology as a whole continues at a remarkable pace. We hope that for active researchers in the field as well as for newcomers and those on the fence, this book will prove helpful for its breadth, historical perspective, and practical tips. Structural data are now available on many of the components of the ubiquitin pathway. The structures have provided basic insights into the unusual biochemical mechanisms of ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Because high-speed computer graphics can convey structures more effectively than print media, we have supplemented the figures of the book with a Worldwide Web site that can display the structures in a flexible, viewer-controlled format.

Download or read book Glutamine Repeats and Neurodegenerative Diseases written by Peter S. Harper and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the discovery of a common genetic basis for a group of inherited neurological disorders, including Huntington's Disease, spino-bulbar atrophy and a series of hereditary ataxias. This shared molecular background and other similarities have led to the development of theoretical models for the pathogenesis of these diseases. It is now also clear that the mechanisms involved are likely to be of more general relevance, outside of this particular group of disorders, with implications for other neurodegenerative processes such as those involved in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Prion diseases. The book is an edited and updated compilation evolving from a Royal Society discussion meeting.

Download or read book Proteasome Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy written by Julian Adams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-05-25 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panel of leading academic and pharmaceutical investigators takes stock of the remarkable work that has been accomplished to date with proteasome inhibitors in cancer, and examines emerging therapeutic possibilities. The topics range from a discussion of the chemistry and cell biology of the proteasome and the rationale for proteasome inhibitors in cancer to a review of current clinical trials underway. The discussion of rationales for testing proteasome inhibitors in cancer models covers the role of the proteasome in NF-kB activation, the combining of conventional chemotherapy and radiation with proteasome inhibition, notably PS-341, new proteasome methods of inhibiting viral maturation, and the role of protesome inhibition in the treatment of AIDS. The authors also document the development of bortezomib (VelcadeTM) in Phase I clinical trials and in a multicentered Phase II clinical trials in patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma.
