[Proteasomes and their role in transcriptional regulation]
Abstract:
26S proteasome is a multisubunit protein complex that plays a pivotal role in protein degradation. Proteasome's enzymatic activities--proteolytic, ATPase/helicase and RNase--can be used in regulation of multiple cellular processes. Recent studies confirm the major role of proteasomes in transcriptional regulation. Although various post-translational modifications of proteasome subunits have been described, relatively little is known about their functional effect on regulation of proteasome-dependent gene expression. In this article, we talk about the role of proteasomes in control of gene expression and different stages of transcription.

The Proteasome
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. A series of enzymes carry out the ubiquitination of the target proteins - E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...
