Protein Degradation Turnover of protein is NOT constant
Half lives of proteins vary from minutes to infinity “Normal” proteins – hrs Short-lived proteins regulatory proteins enzymes that catalyze committed steps transcription factots Long-lived proteins Special cases (dentin, crystallins)
6
Proteins are not degraded at the same rate
Protein Degradation Proteins are not degraded at the same rate ENZYME half-life Ornithine decarboxylase 11 minutes -Aminolevulinate synthetase 70 minutes Catalase days Tyrosine aminotransferase 1.5 hours Tryptophan oxygenase 2 hours Glucokinase days Lactic dehydrogenase 16 days HMG CoA reductase 3 hour

Protein Degradation May depend on tissue distribution
Example: Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase Tissue Half-life Heart days Muscle 31 days Liver 16 days May depend on tissue distribution Protein degradation is a regulated process Example: Acetyl CoA carboxylase Nutritional state Half-life Fed 48 hours Fasted 18 hours

Protein Degradation Ubiquitin/Proteasome Pathway 80-90%
Most intracellular proteins Lysosomal processes 10-20% Extracellular proteins Cell organelles Some intracellular proteins

Two Sites for Protein Degradation
Proteasomes Large (26S) multiprotein complex (28 subunits) Degrades ubiquitinated proteins Lysosomes Basal degradation – non-selective Degradation under starvation – selective for “KFERQ” proteins

PATHWAY

G K UBIQUITIN Small peptide that is a “TAG” 76 amino acids
C-terminal glycine - isopeptide bond with the e-amino group of lysine residues on the substrate Attached as monoubiquitin or polyubiquitin chains Three genes in humans: Two are stress genes (B and C) One, UbA as a fusion protein

Functions of Ubiquitination
Mono-ubiquitination Receptor internalization Endocytosis – lysosome Transcription regulation Poly-ubiquitination Targets proteins from Cytoplasm, Nuclear & ER for degradation by the PROTEASOME DNA repair
19
Ubiquitination of proteins is a FOUR-step process
First, Ubiquitin is activated by forming a link to “enzyme 1” (E1). AMP Then, ubiquitin is transferred to one of several types of “enzyme 2” (E2). Then, “enzyme 3” (E3) catalizes the transfer of ubiquitin from E2 to a Lys e-amino group of the “condemned” protein. Lastly, molecules of Ubiquitin are commonly conjugated to the protein to be degraded by E3s & E4s

UBIQUITIN CONJUGATION -----> E2-s-co-Ub + E1
E1-s-co-Ub + E2-SH -----> -----> E2-s-co-Ub + E1 UBC domain N C CLASS 1 – UBC domains only; require E3s for Ub; target substrates for degradation CLASS 2 – UBC domains & C-terminal extensions; UBC2 = RAD6 – DNA repair not degradation; no E3s CLASS 3 – UBC domains & N-terminal extensions; function not known
23
“recognins” = recognize a motif (DEGRON) on a protein substrate
E2-s-co-Ub + Protein-NH > E2-SH + Protein-NH-CO-Ub (ubiquitin = polyubiquitin chains) UBIQUITIN LIGATION E3 “recognins” = recognize a motif (DEGRON) on a protein substrate
24
Three Major Classes of E3
1) HECT-domain E3s 3) multi-subunit cullin based E3s 2) RING finger-domain E3s
25
Ubiquitin Ligases (E3) 1) HECT-domain containing a conserved Cys
2) RING finger-domain Cys & His residues are ligands to two Zn++ ions stabilizes a molecular scaffold
26
Ubiquitin Ligases (E3) (cont.)
3) Complex E3s: Multiple subunits Ex: SCF-type E3, VBC-Cul2 E3 and other cullin based E3s, Anaphase promoting complex (APC) -they provide a Scaffold for Ub transfer -F-box – substrate recognition

The 26S proteasome
38
Ubiquitinated proteins are degraded by the proteasome
Ubiquitinated proteins are degraded in the cytoplasm and nucleus by the proteasome. Proteasomal protein degradation consumes ATP. The proteasome degrades the proteins to ~8 amino-acid peptides. Access of proteins into the proteasome is tightly regulated. The peptides resulting from the proteasome activity diffuse out of the proteasome freely.

LYSOSOMES
46
Digestive System of the Cell
Digests ingested materials obsolete cell components Degrades macromolecules of all types Proteins Nucleic acids Carbohydrates Lipids Heterogeneous
47
Lysosomal Enzymes 50 different degradative enzymes Acid hydrolases
Active at pH 5 (inside lysosome) Inactive if released into cytosol (pH 7.2) Acidic pH of lysosomes maintained by a proton pump in the lysosomal membrane Requires ATP, thus mitochondria
48
Different pathways lead to the lysosome
1) Phagocytosis Cell “eating” of material > 250nm 2) Pinocytosis Cell “drinking” < 150nm 3) Receptor Mediated Endocytosis -clathrin-coated pits 4) Autophagy “self eat” of old worn out organelles, important in cell degradation during apoptosis
49
Protein degradation in the lysosomes
Lysosomes degrade extracellular proteins that the cell incorporates by endocytosis. Lysosomes can also degrade intracellular proteins that are enclosed in other membrane-limited organellas. In well-nourished cells, lysosomal protein degradation is non-selective (non-regulated). In starved cells, lysosomes degrade preferentially proteins containing a KFERQ “signal” peptide. The regression of the uterus after childbirth is mediated largely by lysosomal protein degradation
