Abstract

A family of ATPases resides within the regulatory particle of the proteasome. These proteins (Rpt1-Rpt6) have been proposed to mediate substrate unfolding, which may be required for translocation of substrates through the channel that leads from the regulatory particle into the proteolytic core particle. To analyze the role of ATP hydrolysis in protein breakdown at the level of the individual ATPase, we have introduced equivalent site-directed mutations into the ATPbinding motif of each RPT gene. Non-conservative substitutions of the active-site lysine were lethal in four of six cases, and conferred a strong growth defect in two cases. Thus, the ATPases are not functionally redundant, despite their multiplicity and sequence similarity. Degradation of a specific substrate can be inhibited by ATP-binding-site substitutions in many of the Rpt proteins, indicating that they co-operate in the degradation of individual substrates. The phenotypic defects of the different rpt mutants were strikingly varied. The most divergent phenotype was that of the rpt1 mutant, which was strongly growth defective despite showing no general defect in protein turnover. In addition, rpt1 was unique among the rpt mutants in displaying a G1 cell-cycle defect. Proteasomes purified from an rpt2 mutant showed a dramatic inhibition of peptidase activity, suggesting a defect in gating of the proteasome channel. In summary, ATP promotes protein breakdown by the proteasome through multiple mechanisms, as reflected by the diverse phenotypes of the rpt mutants.

  • Lack of functional ATPase caused accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and growth defects in yeast models.

    “Lack of the functional ATPase caused accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and growth defects (Gordon et al., 1993;Seeger et al., 1996;Rubin et al., 1998).”

    From Depletion of 26S Proteasomes in Mouse Brain Neurons Causes Neurodegeneration and Lewy-Like Inclusions Resembling Human Pale Bodies (2008) · cites this paper as Rubin et al., 1998

    In “Protein turnover in the rpt mutants” (page not provided), the paper reports growth defects and strong stabilization of two ubiquitin–proteasome substrates in three yeast mutant strains. It does not report a general accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, and the growth-defective rpt1S mutant did not stabilize either tested substrate. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • PSMC1 is an essential subunit of the 26S proteasome.

    “PSMC1 is an essential subunit of the 26S proteasome”

    From Depletion of 26S Proteasomes in Mouse Brain Neurons Causes Neurodegeneration and Lewy-Like Inclusions Resembling Human Pale Bodies (2008) · cites this paper as Rubin et al., 1998

    The Introduction (page not available) identifies the six yeast Rpt proteins as proteasomal ATPases, says they have human homologs, and reports that the yeast RPT genes are essential for vegetative growth. Our copy does not identify PSMC1 by name or establish that the human subunit itself is essential, so the claim extends beyond the evidence given. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • PSMC1 has a unique role in proteolysis activity of the 20S core.

    “PSMC1 also has a unique role in proteolysis activity of the 20S core.”

    From Depletion of 26S Proteasomes in Mouse Brain Neurons Causes Neurodegeneration and Lewy-Like Inclusions Resembling Human Pale Bodies (2008) · cites this paper as Rubin et al., 1998

    In “Peptidase defect in the rpt2RF mutant” (page unavailable), the authors suggest that yeast Rpt2 has a specialized function involving either peptidase activity or peptide access to the core particle. The cited experiments concern mutant yeast proteasomes, not PSMC1 directly, and do not establish that its role is uniquely in the 20S core’s proteolytic activity. (LLM, conf=0.83)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Early S. pombe and S. cerevisiae models of proteasomal dysfunction with mutation of mts2 or rpt2 reflect the observations in the mouse model.

    “The early Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae models of proteasomal dysfunction, with mutation of the homologous ATPase mts2 or rpt2, respectively, reflect the observations in our mouse model.”

    From Depletion of 26S Proteasomes in Mouse Brain Neurons Causes Neurodegeneration and Lewy-Like Inclusions Resembling Human Pale Bodies (2008) · cites this paper as Rubin et al., 1998

    The ‘Isolation of an rpt2R suppressor’ and ‘Protein turnover in the rpt mutants’ sections report an S. cerevisiae rpt2 mutant with impaired proteasome function. Our copy does not describe an S. pombe mts2 mutant or establish that mts2 and rpt2 are homologous. The comparison with the mouse model is the citing authors’ own interpretation, not a finding tested in this source. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The six base ATPases are functionally nonredundant.

    “Because the six base ATPases are functionally nonredundant, deletion of PSMC1 would prevent hexameric ring biogenesis in the base of the 19S RP and coassembly with the 20S CP.”

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.
