The features of kidney damage revealed by comparative and quantitative studies of these noninvasive markers suggest that brush border erasure was more extensive than cell necrosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":11854,"journal":{"name":"Enzyme & protein","volume":"47 1","pages":"27-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000468653","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18907858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proteasomes are able to degrade protein substrates to acid soluble peptides. They have at least five different catalytic components which can be distinguished by the use of synthetic peptide substrates and inhibitors which have very different reactivity at the different sites. Proteasomes can undergo conformational changes when treated with various effectors of their multiple peptidase activities.

Most of the reagents enhance these activities, and some, e.g. fatty acid CoA esters, histones and the chemical cross-linkers, exert dual effects, i.e. activation and inhibition at the same time, depending on the activity measured. With optimally activating concentrations of SDS, no structural changes in proteasomes can be detected by electron microscopy.
