Resistance to malaria by enhanced phagocytosis of erythrocytes in LMP7-deficient mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
General cellular functions of proteasomes occur through protein degradation, whereas the specific function of immunoproteasomes is the optimization of antigen processing associated with MHC class I.

Immunoproteasome subunit ß5i/LMP7-deficiency in atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Management of protein homeostasis by the ubiquitin-proteasome system is critical for atherosclerosis development. Recent studies showed controversial results on the role of immunoproteasome (IP) subunit β5i/LMP7 in maintenance of protein homeostasis ...

Co-inhibition of immunoproteasome subunits LMP2 and LMP7 is required to block autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Reports, 2018
Cells of hematopoietic origin express high levels of the immunoproteasome, a cytokine-inducible proteasome variant comprising the proteolytic subunits LMP2 (β1i), MECL-1 (β2i), and LMP7 (β5i).

The proteasome system in infection: impact of β5 and LMP7 on composition, maturation and quantity of active proteasome complexes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Proteasomes are the major enzyme complexes for non-lysosomal protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. Mammals express two sets of catalytic subunits: the constitutive subunits β1, β2 and β5 and the immunosubunits LMP2 (β1i), MECL-1 (β2i) and LMP7 (β5i ...

Genetic variability in LMP2 and LMP7 is associated with the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the Kazakh population but is not associated with HPV infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The Kazakh population in Xinjiang Province in northwestern China exhibits a high incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Although the etiology of esophageal carcinoma (EC) has not been elucidated, there are reports of the involvement of ...

Co-Inhibition of the Immunoproteasome Subunits LMP2 and LMP7 Ameliorates Immune Thrombocytopenia [PDF]

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.

Reduced Expression of the Antigen Processing Machinery Components TAP2, LMP2, and LMP7 in Tonsillar and Base of Tongue Cancer and Implications for Clinical Outcome

open access: yesTranslational Oncology, 2015
OBJECTIVES: Patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)–positive tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) and base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (BOTSCC) have a better clinical outcome than those with corresponding HPV-negative tumors.

Ageing-related changes in the levels of β-catenin, CacyBP/SIP, galectin-3 and immunoproteasome subunit LMP7 in the heart of men.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Aging is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular causes in men. To better understand the cellular processes related to age-related cardiac complications, we undertook research aimed at comparative evaluation of genes ...

Co-inhibition of immunoproteasome subunits LMP2 and LMP7 enables prevention of transplant arteriosclerosis

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2022
AimsThe loss of vascular wall cells in allotransplanted arteries is the initial event leading to transplant arteriosclerosis (TA) and ensuing loss of allograft function. Pharmacological agents able to prevent TA are currently lacking.
