In eucaryotes, 26S proteasome complex is the central enzyme of ubiquitin dependent protein degradation in the cytosol and nucleus. 26S complex is composed of two components: 20S catalytic core and 19S complex exhibiting ATPase activity. The simplest form of proteasomes is 20S proteasome which has been found in many archaeal species and bacteria (especially in G + actinomycetes). This arcaebacterial enzyme is composed of only 2 types of subunits, designated α and β that are so organized that α-subunits form 2 outer rings and β-subunits form two inner rings of a barrel shaped structure.In this project we attempted at detection and isolation of proteasome from a thermophilic archaea Thermoplasma volcanium and carried out its biochemical and genetic characterizations. The proteasome was initially detected on 0.5% gelatin containing SDS-polyacrylamide gel as a 150-kDa proteolytic activity which was confirmed by immunoblotting using T. acidophilum 20S proteasome specific antibody. Purification of proteasome related activities involved a two-step ammonium sulfate precipitation. The 40-80% fraction was loaded on a SephacrylS-300 gel filtration chromatography column, and fractions showing 'chymotryptic' activity with Ala-Ala-Phe-pNA, were loaded on ion-exchange column prepared with DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow. Proteins were eluted with an NaCl gardient (0-500 mm). Then, proteasome containing fractions were directly loaded onto a hydroxylapatide affinity column. With the isolated proteasome preparation besides chymotryptic activity, peptidylglutamyl peptide hydrolase activity also, was detected with CBZ-Leu-Leu-Glu-β-NA, at pH 7.5 and 60 °C. The enzyme activity was enhanced several fold by Mg2+ and Ca2+. The serine proteinase inhibitors irreversibly inhibited the activity.

Molecular docking study of fda-approved drugs to inhibit the bacterial ribosome Ateş, Beril; Yüce, Merve; Levitaş, Ozge Kurkcuoglu; Sungur, Fethiye Aylin (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Ribosomes are large macromolecular complexes responsible for cellular protein synthesis. It consists of two subunits; called 30S small and 50S large subunits in bacteria, involving antibiotic binding regions. This mac- romolecular machine is one of the significant targets of conventional antibiotics because protein synthesis can be stopped by targeting functional sites in the ribosome. For instance, several antibiotics target the decoding center responsible for deciphering the genetic code, as well as mRNA ...
Protein-Protein Interactions in Live Cells: Reinventing the Wheel Son, Çağdaş Devrim (2018-12-13) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are membrane proteins that mediate physiologicalresponse to a diverse array of stimuli. In humans, they mediate the action of hundreds ofpeptide hormones, sensory stimuli, odorants, neurotransmitters, and chemokines. GPCRs alsoare targets for ~40% of all currently marketed pharmaceuticals. These receptors traditionallybeen thought to act as monomeric units. However, recent evidence suggests that GPCRs mayform dimers as part of their normal trafficking and function. While ...
Expression and activity analyses of industrially important extracellular enzymes produced by a bacilysin knock-out mutant of Bacillus Subtilis Aytekin, Samet; Özcengiz, Gülay; Okay, Sezer; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2018) Bacilysin, the smallest peptide antibiotic known to date, is produced non-ribosomally by Bacillus subtilis by the collective actions of seven proteins transcribed from bacABCDEF operon and bacG gene. Bacilysin is a two-amino acid peptide composed of L-alanine and a modified amino acid, L-anticapsin. Bacilysin biosynthesis was shown to be strongly regulated by quorum sensing through the actions of global regulator proteins including Spo0K, Spo0H, Spo0A, ComQ/ComX, ComP/ComA as well as several Phr proteins, O...
Evaluation of functional changes in akr1b1 and akr1b10 overexpressing colorectal cancer cell lines Güderer, İsmail; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2021-2-15) Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent enzymes with diverse cellular metabolism functions. AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 are two of the most studied enzymes in the AKR family. AKR1B1 reduces excess glucose into sorbitol using reducing electrons from NADPH, and the hyperactivation of the AKR1B1 pathways is associated with oxidative stress and cell death. AKR1B10 is a poor reductant of glucose but is a vital enzyme that can metabolize retinol and many other drugs an...
Regulatory effects of alanine-group amino acids on serine alkaline protease production by recombinant Bacillus licheniformis Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (Wiley, 2003-04-01) Influences of the concentration and addition time of alanine-group amino acids, i.e. alanine, leucine and valine, on serine alkaline protease (SAP) synthesis were investigated by Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 1969) carrying pHV1431::subC in a defined medium to identify the amino acids creating intracellular reaction-rate limitation in SAP production. While the precursors of alanine-group amino acids, pyruvate and alanine, did not affect SAP production considerably within the range 0-15 mM, the addition of leu...
