The Proteasome in Modern Drug Discovery: Second Life of a Highly Valuable Drug Target

Open access

Abstract

As the central figure of the cellular protein degradation machinery, the proteasome is critical for cell survival. Having been extensively targeted for inhibition, the constitutive proteasome has proven its role as a highly valuable drug target. However, recent advances in the protein homeostasis field suggest that additional chapters can be added to this successful story. For example, selective immunoproteasome inhibition promises high clinical efficacy for autoimmune disorders and inflammation, and proteasome inhibitors might serve as novel therapeutics for malaria or other microorganisms. Furthermore, utilizing the destructive force of the proteasome for selective degradation of essential drivers of human disorders has opened up a new and exciting area of drug discovery. Thus, the field of proteasome drug discovery still holds exciting questions to be answered and does not simply end with inhibiting the constitutive proteasome.

  • Bortezomib's boronic acid covalently binds the hydroxy group of the β5 subunit N-terminal threonine of the 20S proteasome, inhibiting its chymotrypsin-like activity.

    “The effect of bortezomib comes from the boronic acid covalently binding to the hydroxy group of the β5 subunit N-terminal threonine of the 20S proteasome, leading to inhibition of the proteasome’s chymotrypsin-like activity125.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
