Abstract:
:Increases of oxidatively modified protein in the cell have been associated with the aging process. Such an accumulation of damaged protein may be the result of increase in the rate of protein oxidation and/or decrease in the rate of degradation of oxidized protein. The multicatalytic proteinase or proteasome is known to be the major proteolytic system involved in the removal of oxidized protein. We have reported that, after isolation of the 20S proteasome from the liver of young and old male Fischer 344 rat, out of the three peptidase activities (chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like and peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolase) we assayed with fluorogenic peptides, the peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolase activity was declining with age to a value approximately 50% of that observed for protease purified from young rats. The proteasome was subjected to metal catalyzed oxidation to determine the susceptibility of the different peptidase activities to oxidative inactivation. Both trypsin-like and peptidyl-glutamyl peptide hydrolase activities were found sensitive to oxidation. Treatment of the proteasome with 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, a major lipid peroxidation product, was also found to inactivate the trypsin-like activity. However, the trypsin-like activity was protected from inactivation by metal catalyzed oxidation in proteasome preparations contaminated with HSP 90, a protein that often copurifies with the proteasome. Upon addition of HSP 90 to pure 20S active proteasome, the trypsin-like activity was protected from inactivation by metal catalyzed oxidation and from inactivation by treatment with 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. These results suggest a possible intervention of HSP 90 in response to oxidative stress in preventing the inactivation of the proteasome by oxidative damage.
