Abstract:
We investigated functioning of proteasomes and chaperones in Arenicola marina coelomocytes in conditions of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation. We observed the increase of chymotrypsin-like proteasome activity in coelomocytes 1 h after induction. Amount of proteasome subunits alpha- and beta-5 types increased as well. We also detected appearance of a new form of Hsp70 chaperone in infected coelomocytes. Our results allow us to consider the changes in proteasome structure and induction of chaperones as principle mechanisms in stress adaptation and defensive reactions development in annelids.

The Proteasome
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...
