Abstract

The proteasome is a multicatalytic protease complex that plays a key role in diverse cellular functions. The peptide vinyl sulfone, carboxybenzyl-leucyl-leucyl-leucine vinyl sulfone (Z-L 3 VS) covalently inhibits the trypsin-like, chymotrypsin-like and, unlike lactacystin, also the peptidylglutamyl peptidase activity in isolated proteasomes, and blocks their function in living cells. Although described as a class of mechanism-based inhibitors for cysteine proteases, the peptide vinyl sulfone Z-L 3 VS and a 125 I-labeled nitrophenol derivative (125 I-NIP-L 3 VS) covalently modify the active site threonine of the catalytic β subunits of the proteasome. Modification of Thermoplasma proteasomes demonstrates the requirement for a hydroxyl amino acid (threonine, serine) as nucleophile at the β subunit’s NH 2 terminus.125 I-NIP-L 3 VS covalently modifies the HslV subunit of the Escherichia coli protease complex HslV/HslU, a reaction that requires ATP, and supports a catalytic mechanism shared with that of the eukaryotic proteasome.

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.
