Recent Advancements in 20S Proteasome Enhancement: Degradation of Undruggable Targets
1Department of Chemistry, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22904, United States.
Abstract:
The ubiquitin-independent proteasome system has emerged as an attractive point of intervention for a variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases. Though inhibition of this system has been studied for decades, 20S proteasome enhancement is much younger by comparison, but substantial levels of progress have been made in this field especially within the last five years. This microperspective will highlight these advancements, focusing on the novel developments being made in designing potent enhancers and evaluating them in disease-relevant systems.

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...
