Amelioration of autoimmunity with an inhibitor selectively targeting all active centres of the immunoproteasome [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSEMulticatalytic endopeptidase complex-like-1 (β2i), low molecular mass polypeptide (LMP) 2 (β1i) and LMP7 (β5i) are the proteolytically active subunits of the immunoproteasome, a special type of proteasome mainly expressed in ...

Evaluation of Immunoproteasome-Specific Proteolytic Activity Using Fluorogenic Peptide Substrates
The 26S proteasome irreversibly hydrolyzes polyubiquitylated substrates to maintain protein homeostasis; it also regulates immune responses by generating antigenic peptides.

PDGF-D-induced immunoproteasome activation and cell-cell interactions
Platelet-derived growth factor-D (PDGF-D) is abundantly expressed in ocular diseases. Yet, it remains unknown whether and how PDGF-D affects ocular cells or cell-cell interactions in the eye.

Immunoproteasome Inhibition Impairs Differentiation but Not Survival of T Helper 17 Cells
Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are characterized by aberrant immune responses. The immunoproteasome was proposed as a target for such Th cell-mediated diseases due to its role in the activation, differentiation and function of T cells.
