title: Separation of yeast proteasome subunits. Immunoreactivity with antibodies against ATP-dependent protease Ti from Escherichia coli.
abstract: On two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, proteasomes (multicatalytic proteinase complexes) from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were separated into a characteristic set of approximately 20 components with molecular weights of 21,000 to 31,000 and isoelectric points of 3.5 to 7.5. The main components were isolated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography on a TSK gel phenyl-5PW RP column and named YC1 to YC11, in order of their elution. Immuno-blot analysis showed that two components (YC1-alpha and YC1-beta) with molecular weights of 30,800 and 28,300 strongly cross-reacted with antibody against the P-component of ATP-dependent protease Ti from Escherichia coli, but no components were found to react with antibodies against the A-component of protease Ti or another ATP-dependent protease La (the Ion gene product) of Escherichia coli. These results indicate a structural relationship between eukaryotic proteasomes and bacterial ATP-dependent protease Ti.
