1. Investigating the activation and regulation of the proteasome : an essential proteolytic complex
Abstract : The proteasome is a major non-lysosomal proteolytic complex present in eukaryotic cells and has a central role in regulating many protein levels. The complex has been shown to participate in various intracellular pathways including cell cycle regulation or quality control of newly synthesized proteins and many other key pathways. READ MORE

3. Studies of metazoan proteasome function and regulation
Abstract : Biological processes depend upon the structural and functional quality of the molecules that comprise living organisms. The integrity of molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids is crucial and the precise three-dimensional shape and the detailed chemistry of these molecules orchestrate the biochemical processes vital for life.

4. Identification and characterization of a proteasome deubiquitinase inhibitor
Abstract : The 26S proteasome has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target in the treatment of cancers. Proteasome inhibitors have been shown to selectively kill cancer cells. The FDA approval of bortezomib for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma has clinically validated the 26S proteasome as a therapeutic target in oncology. READ MORE

5. Mechanisms of regulation of dioxin receptor function
Abstract : The dioxin receptor is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that belongs to the basic helix-loop- helix/Per-Arnt-Sim (bHLH/PAS) family of transcription factors. The dioxin receptor is regulated in a spatial manner, where the unliganded dioxin receptor resides in the cell cytoplasm in a complex with heat shock protein 90 (hsp90). READ MORE
