Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of native and alkylated bovine serum albumin: effects of protein structure and ATP concentration on selectivity
A C Evans Jr et al. Biochemistry. 1985.
Abstract
The susceptibility of bovine serum albumin to degradation by the ubiquitin-dependent system of proteolysis depends on the severity of the iodination conditions [Wilkinson, K.D., & Audhya, T.K. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 9235-9241]. To evaluate if other modifications of the protein changed its susceptibility to degradation, chemically modified derivatives of bovine serum albumin have been synthesized, characterized, and tested as substrates for the ubiquitin-dependent system. Serum albumin was reduced or reduced and alkylated with iodoacetic acid or iodoacetamide. Only the alkylated derivatives exhibit saturation kinetics. Both alkylated proteins competitively inhibit the degradation of the other. These substrates are useful for assay of the intact proteolysis system in crude extracts and in assays for other substrates using competitive alternate substrate inhibition. The physical properties of these proteins suggest that charge, denaturation, or aggregation is not correlated with the degradation rate of these proteins by this system. However, the selectivity of the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis depends strongly on the ATP concentration. At saturating substrate concentrations, both alkylated substrates are degraded equally. At low ATP concentrations, there is a 2.4-fold difference in the degradation rates of the alkylated proteins. The results presented here indicate that the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation system is selective and responsive to ATP concentrations and that not all abnormal proteins are equally preferred substrates. Thus, the system may be more selective than previously thought.
