Proteasome subunit alpha type-1 (PSMA1)

The protein contains 263 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 29556 Da.

 

Component of the 20S core proteasome complex involved in the proteolytic degradation of most intracellular proteins. This complex plays numerous essential roles within the cell by associating with different regulatory particles. Associated with two 19S regulatory particles, forms the 26S proteasome and thus participates in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. The 26S proteasome plays a key role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis by removing misfolded or damaged proteins that could impair cellular functions, and by removing proteins whose functions are no longer required. Associated with the PA200 or PA28, the 20S proteasome mediates ubiquitin-independent protein degradation. This type of proteolysis is required in several pathways including spermatogenesis (20S-PA200 complex) or generation of a subset of MHC class I-presented antigenic peptides (20S-PA28 complex).

CLONING

DeMartino et al. (1991) cloned the PSMA1 gene, termed 'subunit nu' by them. The cDNA encoded a 263-amino acid polypeptide. The calculated and observed molecular masses are 29.5 kD and 35 kD, respectively. Northern blot analysis revealed a 1.4-kb mRNA in human placenta and HeLa cells. Coux et al. (1996) noted that 2 proteins, HC2 (29.5 kD) and Pros30 (30.2 kD), are encoded by the PSMA1 gene.

GENE FUNCTION

Coux et al. (1996) reviewed the structures and functions of the 20S proteasome subunits. The alpha subunits comprise the outer rings of the proteasome. Some alpha subunits contain a functional nuclear localization signal; proteasomes are found in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of the cell. Alpha subunits may constitute a physical barrier that limits access of cytosolic proteins into the inner proteolytic chamber.

MAPPING

Bey et al. (1993) mapped the PSMA1 gene to chromosome 11p15.1 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. ... More on the omim web site
