An extract of Artemisia dracunculus L. inhibits ubiquitin-proteasome activity and preserves skeletal muscle mass in a murine model of diabetes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Impaired insulin signaling is a key feature of type 2 diabetes and is associated with increased ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent protein degradation in skeletal muscle. An extract of Artemisia dracunculus L.

The Ubiquitin–Proteasome System in Immune Cells
Biomolecules, 2021 The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the major intracellular and non-lysosomal protein degradation system. Thanks to its unique capacity of eliminating old, damaged, misfolded, and/or regulatory proteins in a highly specific manner, the UPS is ...

Site-Specific Proteasome Inhibitors
Biomolecules, 2021 Proteasome is a multi-subunit protein degradation machine, which plays a key role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis and, through degradation of regulatory proteins, in the regulation of numerous cell functions. Proteasome inhibitors are essential

The ubiquitin–proteasome system in cardiac dysfunction
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2008 Abstract Since proteins play crucial roles in all biological processes, the finely tuned equilibrium between their synthesis and degradation regulates cellular homeostasis. Controlling the quality of proteome informational content is essential for cell survival and function. After initial synthesis, membrane and secretory proteins are modified, folded,

The proteasome cap RPT5/Rpt5p subunit prevents aggregation of unfolded ricin A chain [PDF]
, 2013 The plant cytotoxin ricin enters mammalian cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, undergoing retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where its catalytic A chain (RTA) is reductively separated from the holotoxin to enter the cytosol and ...

Chemical proteasome inhibition as a novel animal model of inner retinal degeneration in rats.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Chemical proteasome inhibition has been a valuable animal model of neurodegeneration to uncover roles for the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the central nervous system.

Characterization of the ubiquitylating components of the human malaria parasite's protein degradation pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation within malarial parasites is a burgeoning field of interest due to several encouraging reports of proteasome inhibitors that were able to confer antimalarial activity. Despite the growing interest in the Plasmodium

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) reduces growth of HPV‐positive cervical cancer spheroids and induces ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells via blocking SLC7A11/Glutathione (GSH) axis. Combination of subcytotoxic doses of DMF and cisplatin (CDDP) further suppresses spheroid growth and drives cell death in 2D culture models.
