Intramitochondrial adenylyl cyclase controls the turnover of nuclear-encoded subunits and activity of mammalian complex I of the respiratory chain.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1853(1) , 183-91, (2015)

In mammalian cells the nuclear-encoded subunits of complex I are imported into mitochondria, where they are assembled with mt-DNA encoded subunits in the complex, or exchanged with pre-existing copies in the complex. The present work shows that in fibroblast ...

Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) inhibition transforms human mammary gland epithelial cells.

J. Biol. Chem. 285 , 13092-106, (2010)

Carriers of mutations in the cell cycle checkpoint protein kinase ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), which represent 1-2% of the general population, have an increased risk of breast cancer. However, experimental evidence that ATM deficiency contributes to h...

The ubiquitin-proteasome system regulates the stability and activity of the glucose sensor glucokinase in pancreatic β-cells.

Biochem. J. 456(2) , 173-84, (2013)

The ubiquitin-proteasome system is important to maintain pancreatic β-cell function. Inhibition of the proteasome significantly reduced glucose-induced insulin secretion. Key regulators of the stimulus/secretion cascade seem to be affected by protein misfoldi...

Inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway does not protect against ventilator-induced accelerated proteolysis or atrophy in the diaphragm.

Anesthesiology 121(1) , 115-26, (2014)

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention in patients with acute respiratory failure. However, prolonged MV results in ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD), a condition characterized by both diaphragm fiber atrophy and contractile d...

Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer MKN28 cells: accelerated degradation of the inhibitor of apoptosis family members.

Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 566 , 43-8, (2015)

The role of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family members in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis of human gastric cancer MKN28 cells was explored. TNF-α induced up-regulation of cIAP2, whereas cycloheximide (CHX) induced down-regulation of XIA...

The proteasome inhibitor epoxomicin has potent Plasmodium falciparum gametocytocidal activity.

Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 53 , 4080-5, (2009)

Malaria continues to be a major global health problem, but only a limited arsenal of effective drugs is available. None of the antimalarial compounds commonly used clinically kill mature gametocytes, which is the form of the parasite that is responsible for m...

The selective proteasome inhibitors lactacystin and epoxomicin can be used to either up- or down-regulate antigen presentation at nontoxic doses.

J. Immunol. 164 , 6147, (2000)

The complete inhibition of proteasome activities interferes with the production of most MHC class I peptide ligands as well as with cellular proliferation and survival. In this study we have investigated how partial and selective inhibition of the chymotrypsi...

Role of SUMO in RNF4-mediated promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) degradation: sumoylation of PML and phospho-switch control of its SUMO binding domain dissected in living cells.

J. Biol. Chem. 284 , 16595-608, (2009)

Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is a tumor suppressor acting as the organizer of subnuclear structures called PML nuclear bodies (NBs). Both covalent modification of PML by the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) and non-covalent binding of SUMO to the ...

Epoxomicin, a potent and selective proteasome inhibitor, exhibits in vivo antiinflammatory activity.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 96 , 10403, (1999)

The proteasome regulates cellular processes as diverse as cell cycle progression and NF-kappaB activation. In this study, we show that the potent antitumor natural product epoxomicin specifically targets the proteasome. Utilizing biotinylated-epoxomicin as a ...

Cells adapted to the proteasome inhibitor 4-hydroxy- 5-iodo-3-nitrophenylacetyl-Leu-Leu-leucinal-vinyl sulfone require enzymatically active proteasomes for continued survival.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 98 , 513, (2001)

The proteasome is the primary protease used by cells for degrading proteins and generating peptide ligands for class I molecules of the major histocompatibility complex. Based on the properties of cells adapted to grow in the presence of the proteasome inhibi...
