The effects were assessed of high hydrostatic pressure on the activity and structure of rabbit skeletal muscle proteasome. The pressure effects on the activity were measured by the amount of fluorometric products released from synthetic substrates under pressure and from fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled casein after releasing the pressure. The effects on the structure were measured by fluorescene spectroscopy under pressure, and by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and surface hydrophobicity after releasing the pressure.
