Proteasome A-type subunit signature and profile

Description:

The proteasome (or macropain) (EC 3.4.25.1) [1,2,3,4,5,E1] is an eukaryotic and archaebacterial multicatalytic proteinase complex that seems to be involved in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent nonlysosomal proteolytic pathway. In eukaryotes the proteasome is composed of about 28 distinct subunits which form a highly ordered ring-shaped structure (20S ring) of about 700 Kd.

Most proteasome subunits can be classified, on the basis on sequence similarities into two groups, A and B. Subunits that belong to the A-type group are proteins of from 210 to 290 amino acids that share a number of conserved sequence regions. Subunits that are known to belong to this family are listed below.

  • Vertebrate subunits C2 (nu), C3, C8, C9, iota and zeta.
  • Drosophila PROS-25, PROS-28.1, PROS-29 and PROS-35.
  • Yeast C1 (PRS1), C5 (PRS3), C7-α (Y8) (PRS2), Y7, Y13, PRE5, PRE6 and PUP2.
  • Arabidopsis thaliana subunits α and PSM30.
  • Thermoplasma acidophilum α-subunit. In this archaebacteria the proteasome is composed of only two different subunits.

As a signature pattern for proteasome A-type subunits we selected the best conserved region, which is located in the N-terminal part of these proteins. We also have developed a profile which covers the whole conserved region.

Note:

These proteins belong to family T1 in the classification of peptidases [6,E2].
