Suppression of prostate cancer and amelioration of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment through selective immunoproteasome inhibition

open access: yesOncoImmunology, 2023
New treatment options to battle hormone-refractory prostate carcinoma (PC) are a pressing medical need. Chronic inflammation has been implicated in PC etiology.

Deficient immunoproteasome assembly drives gain of α-synuclein pathology in Parkinson's disease

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2021
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
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.

Cryo-EM of mammalian PA28αβ-iCP immunoproteasome reveals a distinct mechanism of proteasome activation by PA28αβ

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
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 Inhibition Reduces the T Helper 2 Response in Mouse Models of Allergic Airway Inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundAllergic asthma is a chronic disease and medical treatment often fails to fully control the disease in the long term, leading to a great need for new therapeutic approaches.

Immunoproteasome Function in Normal and Malignant Hematopoiesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
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]

open access: yesInflammation and Regeneration, 2016
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,

Immunoproteasome Activity and Content Determine Hematopoietic Cell Sensitivity to ONX-0914 and to the Infection of Cells with Lentiviruses

open access: yesCells, 2021
Proteasomes are intracellular structures responsible for protein degradation. The 20S proteasome is a core catalytic element of the proteasome assembly.

Pathogenic roles of immunoproteasomes in fibrosis. [PDF]

open access: yesEssays Biochem
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
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 ...
