  1. 1. The proteasome as a target for cancer therapy

    Författare :Peter Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Cell viability assay; Chemotherapy; Drug repurposing; Genomic and transcriptomic signatures; Prognostic biomarkers; Proteasome; Proteasome genes; Proteasome inhibitors; Drug sensitivity biomarkers; Synergistic effect; Triple-negative breast cancer;

    Sammanfattning : The main objective of this PhD thesis was to evaluate the significance of proteasome genes as prognostic markers for different cancer types and identify specific cancer forms that respond to proteasome inhibition. The proteasome (PSM) plays an important role in maintaining cellular proteostasis and degrades the majority of proteins that require breakdown in the cell. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Investigating the activation and regulation of the proteasome : an essential proteolytic complex

    Författare :Patrick Masson; Patrick Young; Marcus Groettrup; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proteasome; PA28gamma; Transcriptional regulation; Drosophila; 26S; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Path to Destruction : Understanding the mechanism and regulation of proteasomal degradation

    Författare :Anne Beskow; Patrick Young; Ylva Engström; Bernat Crosas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proteasome; ubiquitin; p97; Cnc-C; transcription factors; Nrf1; Nrf2; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : A majority of intracellular proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). In this thesis, both the mechanism of the degradation and the regulation of UPS have been investigated. The importance of the p97 ATPase for proteasomal degradation of cytosolic substrates was examined. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Genetic and Molecular Studies of Two Hereditary Skin Disorders

    Författare :Johanna Dahlqvist; Niklas Dahl; Anders Vahlquist; Juha Kere; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Monogenic disorder; autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis; KLICK syndrome; Ichthyin; POMP; proteasome; epidermal differentiation; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Clinical Genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Monogenic disorders, i.e., disorders caused by mutations in a single gene, are rare and clinically heterogeneous conditions. Identification of the genetic cause of monogenic traits can bring new insights into molecular pathways and disease mechanisms. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The interactome of the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 5 suggests novel roles in RNA and protein metabolism

    Författare :Josefine Ekholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Epstein-Barr virus; EBNA5; chaperone; proteasome; nucleolus;

    Sammanfattning : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpes virus that infects B and epithelial cells of the oropharynx. EBV is transmitted by saliva and establishes a lifelong latency in over 90% of the world's population. During latency, the virus exists predominantly as multicopy episomes in the nuclei of memory B cells. LÄS MER
