Purification and characterization of an endogenous inhibitor specific to the Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-MCA degrading activity in proteasome and its identification as heat-shock protein 90
We previously identified a benzyloxycarbonyl(Z)-Leu-Leu-Leu-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (ZLLL-MCA) degrading activity in proteasome as a candidate for the regulator of neurite outgrowth. As its counterpart, we purified a protein from bovine brain that specifically inhibits the ZLLL-MCA degrading activi...

Zusammenfassung: | We previously identified a benzyloxycarbonyl(Z)-Leu-Leu-Leu-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (ZLLL-MCA) degrading activity in proteasome as a candidate for the regulator of neurite outgrowth. As its counterpart, we purified a protein from bovine brain that specifically inhibits the ZLLL-MCA degrading activity in proteasome. This protein is heat stable and has no effect on the other catalytic activities in proteasome, or on the activities of trypsin, chymotrypsin, or m- and μ-calpains either. The molar ratio of inhibitor-to-proteasome that inhibits 50% of the ZLLL-MCA degrading activity of proteasome is 1:1. The inhibitory mechanism of the inhibitor against proteasome is non-competitive. Finally, the inhibitor was identified as heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) by partial amino acid sequencing and immunodetection. The results suggest that HSP90 initiates neurite outgrowth through the inhibition of the ZLLL-MCA degrading activity in proteasome. |
