Book Ubiquitin and the Biology of the Cell

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.

Book Ubiquitin and the Chemistry of Life

Download or read book Ubiquitin and the Chemistry of Life written by R. John Mayer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume in a new series dedicated to protein degradation, this book lays the foundations of targeted protein breakdown via the ubiquitin pathway. The outstanding importance of the ubiquitin pathway has been recognized with the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Aaaron Chiechanover, Avram Hershko, and Irwin Rose. Aaron Ciechanover is one of the editors of this series, and Avram Hershko has contributed to the opening chapter of the present volume. Drawing on the the expertise of two Nobel prize winners, this handy reference compiles information on the initial steps of the ubiquitin pathway. Starting out with a broad view of protein degradation and its functions in cellular regulation, it then goes on to examine the molecular mechanisms of ubiquitin conjugation and recycling in detail. All currently known classes of ubiquitin protein ligases are treated here, including latest structural data on these enzymes. Further volumes in the series cover the function of the proteasome, and the roles of the ubiquitin pathway in regulating key cellular processes, as well as its pathophysiological disease states. Required reading for molecular biologists, cell biologists and physiologists with an interest in protein degradation.

Book Ubiquitin and the Brain  Roles of Proteolysis in the Normal and Abnormal Nervous System

Download or read book Ubiquitin and the Brain Roles of Proteolysis in the Normal and Abnormal Nervous System written by Ashok N. Hegde and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteolysis by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) in the nervous system has been extensively studied both in the context of normal physiological function as well as abnormal pathological conditions. Although ubiquitin was used as a marker of brain pathology, the normal functions of the UPP were not studied much in the nervous system until the 1990s. The early investigations focused on synaptic plasticity which was followed by studies on the roles of protein degradation in the development of the nervous system. Research on the role of abnormal roles of the UPP follows a parallel trajectory. Since the 2000s, the field has grown to encompass many subareas of research and several model systems. Despite the progress made, many unanswered questions still remain. For example, there are many unknowns about the precise spatial and temporal control of protein degradation in the normal nervous system. With respect to the roles of proteolysis in brain pathology a major challenge is to elucidate the connection between impaired protein degradation and disease progression. In addition, in-depth studies of the roles of ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated proteolysis in neurodegenerative diseases are promising in identifying therapeutic targets. This ebook contains original research papers and insightful reviews that cover several aspects of proteolysis by the UPP and its physiological as well as pathological functions in the nervous system.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gives an overview of pro tea some-mediated protein degradation and the regulatory role of the ubiquitin system in cellular proteolysis. The first chapter describes the molecular evolution of the proteasome and its associated activators, i. e. , the 20S core, the base and the lid of the 19S cap, and the 11 S regulator. The ensuing chapter gives an overview of the structure and assembly of the 20S proteasome and the regulation of the archaeal proteasome by PAN. The third contribution summarizes our knowledge on the eukaryotic 26S proteasome and its regulation by the 19S regu lator, followed by a chapter devoted to the llS regulator, which elucidates the structural basis for the 11 S-mediated activation of the 20S proteasome. The fifth chapter reviews in detail the role of the proteasome in the immune response. The subsequent chapter of the natural substrates of the gives a comprehensive description proteasome and their recognition by the enzymes of the ubiqui tination machinery. The penultimate chapter rounds up the in formation on intracellular distribution of proteasomes in yeast and mammalian cells, while the last contribution highlights proteasome inhibitors, tools which proved to be very valuable for dissecting the cellular roles of the proteasome and which might turn out to be of pharmacological importance.

Book Proteasome Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy

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.

Book Ubiquitin Independent Proteasomal Degradation Mediated by Antizyme

Download or read book Ubiquitin Independent Proteasomal Degradation Mediated by Antizyme written by Noriyuki Murai and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the proteins in eukaryotic cells are degraded by the proteasome in an ubiquitin-dependent manner. However, ubiquitin-independent protein degradation pathway by the 26S proteasome exists in the cells. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a well-known protein that is degraded by the 26S proteasome without ubiquitination. Degradation of ODC requires the protein, ,Äúantizyme (AZ),,Äù that is induced by polyamine and binds to the ODC monomer to inhibit ODC activity and target it to the 26S proteasome for proteolytic degradation. Namely, AZ contributes the feedback regulation of intracellular polyamine level. ODC has been considered to be the only protein that AZ binds and accelerates its degradation. However, recently AZ-mediated proteasomal protein degradation will gradually increase. Most recently, we found that one of the antizyme families, AZ2, accelerates c-Myc degradation by the proteasome without ubiquitination. In this chapter, we introduce latest several ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation mediated by antizyme.

Book Specific Ubiquitin dependent Protein Degradation Requires a Trimeric CandA Complex in Aspergillus Nidulans

Download or read book Specific Ubiquitin dependent Protein Degradation Requires a Trimeric CandA Complex in Aspergillus Nidulans written by Anna Maria Köhler and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E3 cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complexes are activated by modification of their cullin scaffold protein with the ubiquitin-like modifier Nedd8. Deneddylases as the COP9 signalosome (CSN) or Den1/A interact and destabilize these complexes by cleaving the isopeptide bond between Nedd8 and cullin. Non-neddylated cullins can bind Cand1/A, which is the exchange factor for the substrate recognition subunits of the E3 RING ligases. Most eukaryotes possess a single Cand1 polypeptide. The mold Aspergillus nidulans and its relatives encountered a DNA rearrangement, which resulted in separate genes f...
