Regulated Proteolysis in Bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 2018
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.

Towards a Quantitative Description of Proteolysis: Contribution of Demasking and Hydrolysis Steps to Proteolysis Kinetics of Milk Proteins

open access: yesFoods
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

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1981
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%.

Zinc metalloproteinases and amyloid Beta-Peptide metabolism : the positive side of proteolysis in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by an accumulation of toxic amyloid beta- (Aβ-)peptides in the brain causing progressive neuronal death.

Self-Assembly of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras Via Reversible Bioorthogonal Reactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
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,

An engineered protein-based submicromolar competitive inhibitor of the Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor aureolysin

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022
Aureolysin, a secreted metallopeptidase (MP) from the thermolysin family, functions as a major virulence factor in Staphylococcus aureus. No specific aureolysin inhibitors have yet been described, making this an important target for the development of ...

A semi-tryptic peptide centric metaproteomic mining approach and its potential utility in capturing signatures of gut microbial proteolysis

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2021
Background Proteolysis regulation allows gut microbes to respond rapidly to dynamic intestinal environments by fast degradation of misfolded proteins and activation of regulatory proteins.

Proteostasis and Proteolysis

open access: yes, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2003
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

open access: yeseLife, 2020
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 ...
