While proteasome inhibitors are now well-established research tools and chemotherapeutics, proteasome activators are much less explored. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, in a study from the groups of Berkers and Ovaa (Leestemaker et al., 2017), a chemical screen was used to identify a p38 MAPK inhibitor as a proteasome activator.

Proteasome beta-4 subunit contributes to the development of melanoma and is regulated by miR-148b
The proteasome beta-4 subunit is required for the assembly of 20S proteasome complex, forming a pivotal component for the ubiquitin–proteasome system. Emerging evidence indicates that proteasome beta-4 subunit may be involved in underlying progression ...

Role of S5b/PSMD5 in Proteasome Inhibition Caused by TNF-α/NFκB in Higher Eukaryotes
The ubiquitin-proteasome system is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis. However, proteasome dysregulation in chronic diseases is poorly understood.

Proteasome inhibitors have a 20 year history in cancer therapy. The first proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib (Velcade, PS-341), a break-through multiple myeloma treatment, moved rapidly through development from bench in 1994 to first approval in 2003. Bortezomib is a reversible boronic acid inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome ...

Inhibitory Effect of b-AP15 on the 20S Proteasome
The 26S proteasome is a cellular proteolytic complex containing 19S regulatory particles and the 20S core proteasome. It was reported that the small molecule b-AP15 targets the proteasome by inhibiting deubiquitination of the 19S regulatory particles of
