The Proteasome

1.9K
Eukaryotic cells can degrade proteins through several pathways. One of the most important among these is the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It helps the cell eliminate the misfolded, damaged, or unwarranted cytoplasmic proteins in a highly specific manner.
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. This involves participation of a series of enzymes including— E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...

The Proteasome Structure

2.1K
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a well-known mechanism utilized by eukaryotic cells to remove cytoplasmic proteins that are misfolded, damaged, or no longer needed. In this pathway, the protein that needs to be eliminated undergoes a process called ubiquitination, where a chain of ubiquitin molecules is attached to the 48th lysine residue of the target protein. This ubiquitin modification helps the proteasome distinguish between a target protein and a healthy protein.

Proteomics01:33

Proteomics

10.1K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Ontology Engineering

Background:

  • The Proteasix Ontology (PxO) supports the Proteasix tool, an open-source, peptide-centric platform for large-scale in silico prediction of proteases.
  • Proteases play a crucial role in generating proteolytic cleavage fragments (peptides), a process PxO aims to elucidate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a peptide-centric ontology (PxO) that describes the biological basis of peptide generation.
  • To separate domain knowledge from operational knowledge within the Proteasix tool for improved protease prediction and analysis confirmation.

Main Methods:

  • PxO integrates existing ontologies like Protein Ontology, Gene Ontology, ChEBI, and Sequence Ontology.
  • It includes bespoke extensions to describe proteases, cleavage sites, and proteolytic fragments.
  • Knowledge on protease function, species, and cellular location is used to prioritize protease predictions.

Main Results:

  • PxO provides a structured description of proteases and their cleavage products.
  • It facilitates the characterization of proteolytic cleavage fragments as outputs of proteolysis.
  • The ontology supports the prioritization of proteases based on biological context.

Conclusions:

  • The peptide-centric Proteasix Ontology (PxO) enhances the Proteasix tool's capabilities for protease prediction.
  • PxO aids in understanding the biological mechanisms underlying peptide generation.
  • The ontology is freely available for use, promoting open science in proteomics research.
