Regulated Proteolysis in Bacteria [PDF]
Annual 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.

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) in cancer therapy
Molecular Cancer, 2022 Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are engineered techniques for targeted protein degradation. A bifunctional PROTAC molecule with two covalently-linked ligands recruits target protein and E3 ubiquitin ligase together to trigger proteasomal ...

The Proteolysis of ECM in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is a pathological process that commonly occurs throughout the human life span and is a major cause of lower back pain. Better elucidation of the molecular mechanisms involved in disc degeneration could provide

Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras as Therapeutics and Tools for Biological Discovery.
Cell, 2020 New biological tools provide new techniques to probe fundamental biological processes. Here we describe the burgeoning field of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), which are capable of modulating protein concentrations at a post-translational level

Proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) for targeted protein degradation and cancer therapy
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2020 Proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) has been developed to be a useful technology for targeted protein degradation. A bifunctional PROTAC molecule consists of a ligand (mostly small-molecule inhibitor) of the protein of interest (POI) and a covalently ...

Proteolysis in Reproduction: Lessons From Gene-Modified Organism Studies
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 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 ...

The Role of DmCatD, a Cathepsin D-Like Peptidase, and Acid Phosphatase in the Process of Follicular Atresia in Dipetalogaster maxima (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), a Vector of Chagas' Disease [PDF]
, 2015 In this work, we have investigated the involvement of DmCatD, a cathepsin D-like peptidase, and acid phosphatase in the process of follicular atresia of Dipetalogaster maxima, a hematophagous insect vector of Chagas' disease. For the studies, fat bodies,

Phosphorylation Meets Proteolysis [PDF]
Structure, 2012 Phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates many proteins and enzymes, including proteases, as shown by two recent publications. Huang and colleagues and Velázquez-Delgado and Hardy (this issue of Structure) describe how phosphorylation activates the protease activity of the deubiquitinating enzyme DUBA and how it ...
