Abstract:
| The 26 S proteasome, which catalyzes degradation of polyubiquitinated proteins, is composed of the 20 S proteasome and the 19 S regulatory particle (RP). The RP is composed of the lid and base subcomplexes and regulates the catalytic activity of the 20 S proteasome. In this study, we carried out affinity purification of the lid and base subcomplexes from the tagged strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and we found that the lid contains a small molecular mass protein, Sem1. The Sem1 protein binds with the 26 S proteasome isolated from a mutant with deletion of SEM1 but not with the 26 S proteasome from the wild type. The lid lacking Sem1 is unstable at a high salt concentration. The 19 S RP was immunoprecipitated together with Sem1 by immunoprecipitation using hemagglutinin epitope-tagged Sem1 as bait. Degradation of polyubiquitinated proteins in vivo or in vitro is impaired in the Sem1-deficient 26 S proteasome. In addition, genetic interaction between SEM1 and RPN10 was detected. The human Sem1 homologue hDSS1 was found to be a functional homologue of Sem1 and capable of interacting with the human 26 S proteasome. The results suggest that Sem1, possibly hDSS1, is a novel subunit of the 26 S proteasome and plays a role in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. |
