Furthermore, inhibition of Nrf2 protein degradation by carbobenzoxy-L-leucyl-L-leucyl-leucinal (MG-132), a 26S proteasome inhibitor, significantly reversed the cycloheximide-mediated inhibition of Nqo1 and Gst ya mRNAs, which coincided with an increase in the expression of Nrf2, confirming that a transcriptional mechanism is involved.

The metal-mediated induction of Cyp1a1 mRNA was further potentiated by the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide and the 26S proteasome inhibitor, MG-132, but completely inhibited by the RNA transcription inhibitor, actinomycin-D, implying a transcriptional regulation of the Cyp1a1 gene by the heavy metals.

We show that the rpt2a-3, rpn10-1 and rpn12a-1 mutants are hypersensitive to the antibiotic hygromycin B, and tolerant to the translation inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) and herbicide L-phosphinothricin (PPT).

Here, we identify the antialcoholism drug disulfiram and its analogue pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) as inhibitors of the 26S proteasome activity in a cell-based screening assay.

Further, de novo protein synthesis is not required for degradation of PIF1, as the presence of cycloheximide does not prevent degradation of PIF1 in the light.

RESULTS: The destabilized HSV1-TK, unlike wild-type HSV1-TK, was unstable in the presence of cycloheximide and had a short half-life of protein and enzyme activity.
The proteasome inhibition assay was used to test whether the rapid turnover of the destabilized HSV1-TK was processed in a 26S proteasome-dependent manner.

Furthermore, it was found that nitrogen deprivation affected 26S proteasome activities of T. versicolor.

Measurement of beta-catenin protein stability by cycloheximide treatment showed that Rad6B silencing specifically decreases the stability of high molecular beta-catenin with minimal effect upon the 90-kDa nascent form.
In vitro ubiquitination assays confirmed that Rad6B mediates beta-catenin polyubiquitination, and ubiquitin chain extensions involve lysine 63 residues that are insensitive to 26S proteasome.

Rapid turnover of NESTKGFP:dMODC occurred in a 26S proteasome-dependent manner.
RESULTS: Unlike TKGFP, NESTKGFP:dMODC was unstable in the presence of cycloheximide and showed a short half-life of protein and enzyme activity.

19954423 Azzu V, Mookerjee SA, Brand MD: Rapid turnover of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 3. . Biochem J. 2010 Jan 27;426(1):13-7.

UCP2 is known to have a short half-life of approx. 1 h, owing to its rapid degradation by the cytosolic 26S proteasome, whereas UCP1 is turned over much more slowly by mitochondrial autophagy.
UCP3 half-life was examined in the mouse C2C12 myoblast cell line by inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide and monitoring UCP3 protein levels by immunoblot analysis.

However, SUS degradation was strongly inhibited by feeding cycloheximide or amino acids to detached leaves, while Suc feeding had no effect.

The protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, and 26S proteasome inhibitor, carbobenzoxy-L-leucyl-L-leucyl-leucinal (MG-132), super-induced the metal-mediated induction of Cyp1a1 mRNA.
