Proteasome subunit alpha type-7 (PSMA7)

The protein contains 248 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 27887 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). Inhibits the transactivation function of HIF-1A under both normoxic and hypoxia-mimicking conditions. The interaction with EMAP2 increases the proteasome-mediated HIF-1A degradation under the hypoxic conditions. Plays a role in hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site-mediated translation. Mediates nuclear translocation of the androgen receptor (AR) and thereby enhances androgen-mediated transactivation. Promotes MAVS degradation and thereby negatively regulates MAVS-mediated innate immune response. (updated: Jan. 31, 2018)

CLONING

The hepatitis B virus X (HBX) protein is a well-conserved 16-kD phosphoprotein expressed in both nucleus and cytoplasm. It is critical for the life cycle of the virus. HBX message is detectable in infected liver, as are antibodies to the less-detectable protein. Using a yeast 2-hybrid screen of a HeLa cell cDNA library with HBX as the probe, followed by further probing of the HeLa cell library, Huang et al. (1996) obtained a cDNA encoding PSMA7, which they termed XAPC7. The deduced 248-amino acid PSMA7 protein is 33% identical to HC8 (PSMA3; 176843) and has higher homology with Drosophila and Arabidopsis proteasome subunits. Northern blot analysis revealed expression of a 1.0-kb PSMA7 transcript in several human cell lines. Western blot analysis showed that PSMA7 is expressed as a 28-kD proteasome subunit protein.

MAPPING

Gross (2013) mapped the PSMA7 gene to chromosome 20q13.33 based on an alignment of the PSMA7 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AF022815) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37).

GENE FUNCTION

Huang et al. (1996) found that residues 188 to 198 in the C terminus of PSMA7, but not these residues in other proteasome subunits, specifically interacted with HBX and that the N terminus of HBX, which is required for its transactivation function, was not necessary for its interaction with PSMA7. Luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that antisense PSMA7 blocked the transactivation function of HBX. Huang et al. (1996) proposed that HBX, by interacting with PSMA7, may interfere with the activities of the proteasome complex. Using a yeast 2-hybrid screen of a fetal brain cDNA library with parkin (PARK2; 602544) and 2 parkin mutants as baits, Dachsel et al. (2005) isolated PSMA7, which they termed alpha-4. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed that the interaction occurred between residues 179 to 248 of PSMA7 and the C terminus of PARKIN, including the IBR-RING2 motif. Liu et al. (2006) found that ABL (ABL1; 189980) and ARG (ABL2; 164690) tyrosine kinases associated with and phosphorylated PSMA7 on tyr153, leading to reduced proteasome-dependent proteolysis. Cells expressing a phosphorylation mutant of PSMA7 displayed impaired G1/S transition and S/G2 progression. Oxidative stress and ionizing irradiation resulted in increased formation of ABL-PSMA7 complexes and PSMA7 phosphorylation. Liu et al. (2006) concluded that phosphorylation of PSMA7 regulates proteasome activity.
