Proteasome subunit beta type-11 (PSMB11)

The protein contains 300 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 32530 Da.

 

The proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex which is characterized by its ability to cleave peptides with Arg, Phe, Tyr, Leu, and Glu adjacent to the leaving group at neutral or slightly basic pH. The proteasome has an ATP-dependent proteolytic activity. Incorporated instead of PSMB5 or PSMB8, this unit reduces the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome (By similarity). Plays a pivotal role in development of CD8-positive T cells (By similarity). (updated: Sept. 12, 2018)

Proteasome subunit beta-5t

DESCRIPTION

Proteasomes generate peptides that are presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I molecules to other cells of the immune system. Proteolysis is conducted by 20S proteasomes, complexes of 28 subunits arranged as a cylinder in 4 heteroheptameric rings: alpha-1 to -7, beta-1 to -7, beta-1 to -7, and alpha-1 to -7. The catalytic subunits are beta-1 (PSMB6; 600307), beta-2 (PSMB7; 604030), and beta-5 (PSMB5; 600306). Three additional subunits, beta-1i (PSMB9; 177045), beta-2i (PSMB10; 176847), and beta-5i (PSMB8; 177046), are induced by gamma-interferon (IFNG; 147570) and are preferentially incorporated into proteasomes to make immunoproteasomes. PSMB11, or beta-5t, is a catalytic subunit expressed exclusively in cortical thymic epithelial cells (Murata et al., 2007).

CLONING

By searching databases for proteasome-related genes, followed by PCR of HeLa cell genomic DNA, Murata et al. (2007) cloned human PSMB11, which they called beta-5t. The beta-5t protein was most homologous to beta-5 and beta-5i. Northern and Western blot analyses of mouse tissues showed that beta-5t was expressed exclusively in thymus. Immunohistochemical analysis detected beta-5t expression in mouse cortical thymic epithelial cells.

GENE FUNCTION

Using immunoprecipitation analysis, Murata et al. (2007) found that about 20% of 20S proteasomes in mouse thymus contained beta-5t instead of beta-5 or beta-5i. Moreover, these beta-5t-containing proteasomes, or thymoproteasomes, preferentially incorporated beta-1i and beta-2i in place of beta-1 and beta-2, respectively.

GENE STRUCTURE

Murata et al. (2007) determined that the PSMB11 gene contains 1 exon in both mice and humans.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis, Murata et al. (2007) mapped the PSMB11 gene to chromosome 14, adjacent to the PSMB5 gene on the opposite strand.

ANIMAL MODEL

Murata et al. (2007) found that mice deficient in beta-5t had fewer Cd8 (see 186910) single-positive (SP) thymocytes, but normal numbers of Cd4 (186940) SP cells, compared with wildtype mice. They concluded that PSMB11 plays a pivotal role in development of CD8-positive T cells. ... More on the omim web site
