Regulated Proteolysis in Bacteria [PDF]
Regulated proteolysis is a vital process that affects all living things. Bacteria use energy-dependent AAA+ proteases to power degradation of misfolded and native regulatory proteins. Given that proteolysis is an irreversible event, specificity and selectivity in degrading substrates are key.

The hydrolysis of proteins by proteases (proteolysis) plays a significant role in biology and food science. Despite the importance of proteolysis, a universal quantitative model of this phenomenon has not yet been created.

Proteolysis in the rat lung: hypoxia and evidence for an inhibitor of proteolysis
We labeled proteins with [14C]phenylalanine in rats breathing air and assessed the rate of proteolysis in the isolated ventilated lung by measuring the accumulation of [14C]phenylalanine in the medium perfusing the lung. Ventilation with 0% O2 decreased the rate of proteolysis and the ATP content in the lung 60%.

Self-Assembly of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras Via Reversible Bioorthogonal Reactions [PDF]
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) by PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) is of great interest for probe molecule and drug development. However, current bivalent PROTACs are rule-breaking molecules with sub-optimal cellular permeability, solubility,

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.

βTrCP-mediated proteolysis of NF-kB1 p105 requires phosphorylation of p105 serines 927 and 932 [PDF]
This work was supported by the U.K. Medical Research Council, the Arthritis Research Campaign (project grant L0536 to V.L.), and the AINP consortium, EC—5th framework.NF-κB1 p105 functions both as a precursor of NF-κB1 p50 and as a cytoplasmic inhibitor ...

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 ...
