ECPAS/Ecm29-mediated 26S proteasome disassembly is an adaptive response to glucose starvation.

The 26S proteasome comprises 20S catalytic and 19S regulatory complexes. Approximately half of the proteasomes in cells exist as free 20S complexes; however, our mechanistic understanding of what determines the ratio of 26S to 20S species remains incomplete. Here, we show that glucose starvation uncouples 26S holoenzymes into 20S and 19S subcomplexes.

HProteome-BSite: predicted binding sites and ligands in human 3D proteome.

Atomic-level knowledge of protein-ligand interactions allows a detailed understanding of protein functions and provides critical clues to discovering molecules regulating the functions. While recent innovative deep learning methods for protein structure prediction dramatically increased the structural coverage of the human proteome, molecular interactions remain largely unknown. A new database, HProteome-BSite, provides predictions of binding sites and ligands in the enlarged 3D human proteome.
