| T1 |
0-74 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Human Sug1/p45 is involved in the proteasome-dependent degradation of Sp1. |
| T2 |
75-262 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The transcription factor Sp1 was previously shown to undergo proteasome-dependent degradation when cells were glucose-starved and stimulated with the adenylate cyclase inducer, forskolin. |
| T3 |
263-334 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, the control of the Sp1 degradation process is largely unknown. |
| T4 |
335-615 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Using in vitro and in vivo interaction studies, we show in the present study that Sp1 interacts with human Sug1 [hSug1, also known as p45 or thyroid-hormone-receptor interacting protein ('TRIP1')], an ATPase subunit of the 26 S proteasome and a putative transcriptional modulator. |
| T5 |
616-751 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This interaction with Sp1 occurs through the C-terminus of hSug1, the region that contains the conserved ATPase domain in this protein. |
| T6 |
752-990 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both in vitro studies, in reconstituted degradation assays, and in vivo experiments, in which hSug1 is overexpressed in normal rat kidney cells, show that full-length hSug1 is able to stimulate the proteasome-dependent degradation of Sp1. |
| T7 |
991-1135 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, hSug1 truncations that lack either the N- or C-terminal domain of hSug1 act as dominant negatives, inhibiting Sp1 degradation in vitro. |
| T8 |
1136-1279 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Also, an ATPase mutant of hSug1, while still able to bind Sp1, acts as a dominant negative, blocking Sp1 degradation both in vitro and in vivo. |
| T9 |
1280-1418 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results demonstrate that hSug1 is involved in the degradation of Sp1 and that ATP hydrolysis by hSug1 is necessary for this process. |
| T10 |
1419-1578 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our findings indicate that hSug1 is an exchangeable proteasomal component that plays a critical regulatory role in the proteasome-dependent degradation of Sp1. |
| T11 |
1579-1675 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, hSug1 is not the factor limiting Sp1 degradation in the cells treated with glucosamine. |
| T12 |
1676-1813 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This and other considerations suggest that hSug1 co-operation with other molecules is necessary to target Sp1 for proteasome degradation. |
