The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS)<\/strong> and the autophagic-lysosomal pathway are the two major degradation systems<\/strong> for both native and misfolded proteins in eukaryotic cells. They do not act independently from each other. Defective autophagy results in the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, impacting the flux of the UPS, while dysfunction of the UPS can promote a compensatory induction of autophagy. Through protein degradation and the maintenance of protein homeostasis, the UPS regulates many normal cellular processes including signal transduction, cell cycle control, transcription and apoptosis (see Figure). The regulated proteolysis of bulk and misfolded proteins is strictly controlled by the 26S proteasome complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure: <\/strong>The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System Inhibition and affected Cellular Processes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a026S proteasome complex<\/strong>\u00a0recognises polyubiquitinated proteins, which were marked for elimination by the E1, E2 and E3 ubiquitinating enzymes (see Figure). Upon recognition, unfolding and transfer of the de-ubiquitinated target protein by the\u00a019S regulatory cap<\/strong>\u00a0into the interior of the cylindrical\u00a020S proteasome core<\/strong>\u00a0particle, protein degradation is facilitated by catalytic \u03b2-subunits having nucleophilic N-terminal threonine (Thr1) residues. Although eukaryotic 20S proteasomes harbour seven different \u03b2-subunits in their two-fold symmetrical \u03b17\u03b27\u03b27\u03b17 stacked complexes, only three \u03b2-subunits per \u03b2-ring\u00a0[subunits \u03b21 (caspase-like), \u03b22 (trypsin-like) and \u03b25 (chymotrypsin-like)]<\/strong>\u00a0are proteolytically active. These three \u03b2-subunits are major targets for small-molecule proteasome inhibitors.\u00a0Proteasome inhibition<\/strong>\u00a0has implications in a number of human diseases such as cancer (e.g. multiple myeloma (MM)), inflammation and ischemic stroke and is an important therapeutic target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several components of the UPS have been validated as potential anticancer targets, including 20S proteasomes, 19S proteasome-associated deubiquitinases (DUBs) and ubiquitin ligases (E3s). One of the strategies to improve the current status of cancer treatment is to repurpose old drugs with UPS-inhibitory properties as new anticancer agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
