Proteasome is consist of multiple protein subunits and plays important roles in degradation of short-lived cellular proteins. Recent studies reveal that proteasomal degradation system is also involved in signal transduction and regulation of various cellular functions. Dysfunction or dysregulation of proteasomal function may thus be an important pathogenic mechanism in certain neurological disorders. This paper reviews the biological functions of proteasome in signal transduction and its potential roles in neurodegenerative diseases.展开更多
文摘以Pseudomonas aeruginosa为代表的I.1亚家族脂肪酶和以Burkholderia cepacia为代表的I.2亚家族脂肪酶具有优良的手性化合物拆分性能,在绿色化工领域具有良好的开发潜力及其应用前景。I.1亚家族脂肪酶和I.2亚家族脂肪酶均采用II型分泌机制进行分泌,其分泌依赖于一种分子伴侣——脂肪酶的特异性折叠酶(lipase specific foldase,Lif)的协助。从Lif蛋白的分类、结构特点、介导对应脂肪酶折叠的特异性及机制、lif基因表达调控机制及尚待探讨的问题等方面系统介绍Lif蛋白的研究进展。
