Description:
To identify previously unknown small molecules that inhibit cell cycle machinery, we performed a chemical genetic screen in Xenopus extracts. One class of inhibitors, termed ubistatins, blocked cell cycle progression by inhibiting cyclin B proteolysis and inhibited degradation of ubiquitinated Sic1 by purified proteasomes. Ubistatins blocked the binding of ubiquitinated substrates to the proteasome by targeting the ubiquitin-ubiquitin interface of Lys(48)-linked chains. The same interface is recognized by ubiquitin-chain receptors of the proteasome, indicating that ubistatins act by disrupting a critical protein-protein interaction in the ubiquitin-proteasome system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Verma, Rati -- Peters, Noel R -- D'Onofrio, Mariapina -- Tochtrop, Gregory P -- Sakamoto, Kathleen M -- Varadan, Ranjani -- Zhang, Mingsheng -- Coffino, Philip -- Fushman, David -- Deshaies, Raymond J -- King, Randall W -- CA78048/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM068276/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM65334/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM66492/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA92131/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM-45335/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R21CA108545/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Oct 1;306(5693):117-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15459393" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
