General description

A tetrapeptide aldehyde that acts as a highly selective and potent proteasomal inhibitor (Ki = 1.5 µM for branched chain amino acid preferring, 2.3 µM for small neutral amino acid preferring, and 40.5 µM for chymotrypsin-like activities; IC50 = 3.1 µM for peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolyzing activity). Shown to be a weak inhibitor of trypsin-like proteasomal activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are degraded by N-terminal threonine proteases within the 26S proteasome. Each protease is formed by an activated beta subunit, beta5/X, beta1/Y, or beta2/Z, that exhibits chymotrypsin-like, peptidylglutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing, or trypsin-like activity, respectively.

Amino acid sequencing of subunits of the multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC) isolated from bovine spleen showed an almost complete replacement of the X, Y, and Z subunits, constitutively expressed in most tissues, by the interferon-gamma-inducible LMP7, LMP2, and MECL1 subunits.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 269(47), 29860-29866 (1994-11-25)
Evidence indicates that a component of the multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC) that preferentially cleaves bonds after branched chain amino acids (BrAAP) is a major factor responsible for the protein-degrading activity of the MPC. We report here the synthesis of substrate-related
