Altered properties of the branched chain amino acid-preferring activity contribute to increased cleavages after branched chain residues by the "immunoproteasome".

Abstract

The multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC, proteasome) is assembled from 14 nonidentical protein subunits. It expresses five distinct proteolytic activities, including a chymotrypsin-like activity, cleaving after hydrophobic residues, and a branched chain amino acid-preferring component (BrAAP), cleaving preferentially after branched chain residues. Exposure of cells to interferons leads to replacement of the X, Y, and Z subunits by the LMP2, LMP7, and MECL1 subunits. This "immunoproteasome" is critical to processing of certain antigens. The enzymatic basis for enhanced antigen processing has not been determined. To gain insight into this question, we examined sites and relative rates of cleavage of bonds in denatured, reduced, carboxyamidomethylated lysozyme, a 129-amino acid protein, by MPC from bovine spleen, in which the X, Y, and Z subunits are replaced by LMP2, LMP7, and MECL1. We compared cleavages to those catalyzed by MPC from bovine pituitary, which contains only the X, Y, and Z subunits. We found marked increases in the rates and number of cleavages after branched chain residues in reduced, carboxyamidomethylated lysozyme by the spleen MPC. This was largely due to accelerated cleavages of bonds after a Phi-X-Br moti...Continue Reading
