Protein substrates for proteinases with double fluorescent fluorophors are synthesized. Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, dansyl chloride and fluorescein isothiocyanate were used as fluorescent sounds for modification of globin. Phosphoyridoxyl fluorophor was present in the both substrates. The second label was either fluoresceinthiocarbamyl or dansyl fluorophor. Spectral characteristics and ability to hydrolysis of obtained substrates have been studied. The influence of some salts on fluorescent characteristics of those substrates have been analyzed. Differentiation of the hydrolyzed substrate from the initial one by ammonium sulphate is shown to be possible.

Cell death mediated by executioner caspases is essential during organ development and for organismal homeostasis. The mechanistic role of activated executioner caspases in antibacterial defense during infections with intracellular bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes, remains elusive. Cell death upon intracellular bacterial infections is considered altruistic to deprive the pathogens of their protective niche.

Viruses were shown to encode proteinases in the 1970s. Initially, it was assumed that they would be only used for proteolytic processing of the viral proteins. Subsequent investigations showed that such proteinases could affect host metabolism to benefit viral replication.

ClpXP is a two-component mitochondrial matrix protease. The caseinolytic mitochondrial matrix peptidase chaperone subunit X (ClpX) recognizes and translocates protein substrates into the degradation chamber of the caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) for proteolysis. ClpXP degrades damaged respiratory chain proteins and is necessary for cancer cell survival.

Hsp70, Hsp90, and ClpB/Hsp100 are molecular chaperones that help regulate proteostasis. Bacterial and yeast Hsp70s and their cochaperones function synergistically with Hsp90s to reactivate inactive and aggregated proteins by a mechanism that requires a direct interaction between Hsp90 and Hsp70 both in vitro and in vivo. and yeast Hsp70s also collaborate in bichaperone systems with ClpB and Hsp104, respectively, to disaggregate and reactivate aggregated proteins and amyloids such as prions.

Dysfunction or dysregulation of deubiquitination is closely related to the initiation and development of multiple cancers. Targeted regulation of deubiquitination has been recognized as an important strategy in tumor therapy. However, the mechanism by which drugs regulate deubiquitinase is not clear.
