Deficient immunoproteasome assembly drives gain of α-synuclein pathology in Parkinson's disease
Aberrant α-synuclein (α-Syn) accumulation resulting from proteasome dysfunction is considered as a prominent factor to initiate and aggravate the neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD).

Co-Inhibition of the Immunoproteasome Subunits LMP2 and LMP7 Ameliorates Immune Thrombocytopenia
The immunoproteasome, a special isoform of the 20S proteasome, is expressed when the cells receive an inflammatory signal. Immunoproteasome inhibition proved efficacy in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

The proteasome activator PA28αβ affects MHC class I antigen presentation by associating with immunoproteasome core particles (iCPs). Cryo-EM structures of the mammalian PA28αβ -iCP immunoproteasome and free iCP, combined with cross-linking data, reveal ...

Immunoproteasome Function in Normal and Malignant Hematopoiesis [PDF]
The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is a central part of protein homeostasis, degrading not only misfolded or oxidized proteins but also proteins with essential functions. The fact that a healthy hematopoietic system relies on the regulation of protein

Dysfunctional immunoproteasomes in autoinflammatory diseases [PDF]
Recent progress in DNA sequencing technology has made it possible to identify specific genetic mutations in familial disorders. For example, autoinflammatory syndromes are caused by mutations in gene coding for immunoproteasomes. These diseases include Japanese autoinflammatory syndrome with lipodystrophy, Nakajo-Nishimura syndrome, joint contractures,

Pathogenic roles of immunoproteasomes in fibrosis. [PDF]
The 26S proteasome is a multi-subunit protease complex that degrades most eukaryotic cellular proteins. It not only regulates individual protein’s half-lives but also maintains proteome homeostasis and modulates immunological responses. During conditions involving large-scale proteome remodeling, such as fibrosis and cellular differentiation, the 26S ...

Immunoproteasomes: Regulating the regulator [PDF]
I f proteins were people, half of the world's population (3 × 109) would cohabit, cheek by jowl, the typically sized vertebrate cell. Proteins are the most abundant macromolecular constituent of cells and certainly the most important and interesting. Because the interactions of proteins with each other and other cellular components are governed by the ...
