Proteostasis integrates biological pathways controlling biogenesis, trafficking, folding, and degradation of proteins. This book focuses on two protein breakdown/degradation processes (proteolysis), which are part of a normally functioning proteostatic system: the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy.

Proteolysis in Reproduction: Lessons From Gene-Modified Organism Studies
The physiological roles of proteolysis are not limited to degrading unnecessary proteins. Proteolysis plays pivotal roles in various biological processes through cleaving peptide bonds to activate and inactivate proteins including enzymes, transcription ...

Pulmonary emphysema is a major component of the morbidity and mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition that has become the fourth leading cause of death in the USA, and is becoming epidemic worldwide. Emphysema is defined as enlargement of peripheral airspaces of the lung including respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts ...

Ordered dephosphorylation initiated by the selective proteolysis of cyclin B drives mitotic exit
APC/C-mediated proteolysis of cyclin B and securin promotes anaphase entry, inactivating CDK1 and permitting chromosome segregation, respectively. Reduction of CDK1 activity relieves inhibition of the CDK1-counteracting phosphatases PP1 and PP2A-B55 ...

Nanomechanical in situ monitoring of proteolysis of peptide by Cathepsin B. [PDF]
Characterization and control of proteolysis of peptides by specific cellular protease is a priori requisite for effective drug discovery. Here, we report the nanomechanical, in situ monitoring of proteolysis of peptide chain attributed to protease ...

Background Proteolysis of the histone H3 N-terminal tail (H3NT) is an evolutionarily conserved epigenomic feature of nearly all eukaryotes, generating a cleaved H3 product that is retained in ~ 5–10% of the genome.

IT was shown by Linderstrom-Lang and co-workers1 that the tryptic hydrolysis of β-lactoglobulin involves the reversible denaturation of the protein as a preliminary stage. A consideration of known facts, together with new evidence obtained in connexion with an investigation of the mechanism of bating of skins in leather manufacture2, indicates that ...

Regulated degradation of the APC coactivator Cdc20
Background Cdc20 is a highly conserved activator of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), promoting cell-cycle-regulated ubiquitination and proteolysis of a number of critical cell-cycle-regulatory targets including securin and mitotic cyclins. APC-Cdc20
