Abstract:
:It has been demonstrated that ubiquitin-conjugated proteins were accumulated by ectopically-expressed S5a as well as the ubiquitin-interacting motifs of S5a (S5a-UIMs). In this study, we further found that free S5a-UIMs stabilized only a subset of proteasomal substrates including p53, c-Fos, c-Jun, and p27 but not beta-catenin, p15, and ornithine decarboxylase. Both S5a-UIMs and epoxomicin inhibited the proliferation of A549 lung cancer cells but arrest at the different stages of cell cycle. Together, our results suggest a potential role of S5a-UIMs as an upstream proteasomal inhibitor by blocking the subset of substrates from delivery to the 26S proteasome.
