Protein Folding And Proteasome Flashcards
Interior of chaperone is ___ and has 7 ____ subunits inside
Interior of chaperone is HYDROPHOBIC and has 7 ATPase subunits inside
3 Functions of Chaperone during Protein Synthesis
- protection of nascent chain
- guidance during folding
- avoidance of kinetic dead ends
Proteasome Structure
19 S regulatory cap made up of alpha subunits
20s chamber
Proteasome assembly requires ____ chaperone
Ump1
Types of interactions that promote folding
Hydrophobic core Electrostatic interactions Van der Waals interactions Disulfide bonds Metal coordination
What is a molten globule?
- Term describng a polypeptide chain that has achieved near-final secondary structure but is looser and more open.
- Not a defined structure, refers to family of related structures taht are fluid and interchangeable
- Driving force is water exclusion
What happens to polypeptide with CFTR delta508 mutation?
Protein folds too slowly, it’s captured by proteolytic system and degraded, so intracellular levels of the protein are depleted.
eEIF1As Role in Protein Degradation
It facilitates degradation when folding is incorrect
In neurodegenerative diseases, aggregates form in ____ region, and _______ are usually copresent within aggregates
In neurodegenerative diseases, aggregates form in PERINUCLEAR region, and PROTEASOMES are usually copresent within aggregates
Examples of Amyloid Diseases
- most aggregates contain B-pleated sheets
- Alzheimers
- Parkinsons
- ALS (aggregation of SOD)
- Huntingtons (CAG repeats)
- Machado Joseph Disease (CAG repeats)
3 Ways to Regulate Proteolysis
- Proteases are usually zymogens, need hormonal activation or autocatalysis
- Activities are compartmentalized
- pH/phosphorylation/substrate induced.
Distinguishing structural features of Ubiquitin
- 7 lysines on surface which attach to other Ubs
- highly reactive carboxy terminus which is involved in all covalent interactions that Ub makes
- hydrophobic patches on surface
- always initially expressed as fusion protein
Ub Carboxy Terminal Hydrolase
Cleaves polyubiqutin to expose the C-terminal tail
-mutations in this enzyme cause Parkinsons
Ub Activating Enzyme E1
Binds 2 Ubs as a UB-adenylate via thioester bond
- ATP Dependent
- Always has 2 mol of Ub
Ub-Conjugating Enzyme E2
Mediates the transfer of Ub from E1 to either E3 or substrate
-contributes to combinatorial diversity of Ub degradation pathway
Ub-Protein Ligase E3
Attaches Ub to substrate via isopeptide bond
-Parkin is an E3 enzyme
-Poly-Ub chain must be at least 4 in order to be targeted for degradation
How does Ub attach to conjugating enzymes?
Via thioester bond b.w. Ub C-terminal glycine and cysteine on enzyme
How does Ub attach to substrate?
Via Ub’s C-terminal glycine, ISOPEPTIDE bond to lysine on substrate.
-Isopeptide bond is reversible
Importance of Ub’s C-terminal Glycine
It makes thioester bond with conjugating enzymes
Forms isopeptide bond with substrate
Forms isopeptide bond with lysine residues in Ub (to make multi-Ub chain)
