Abstract
The branched chain amino acid-preferring (BrAAP) activity of multicatalytic proteinase complex isolated from human umbilical vein endothelial cells and treated with interferon-gamma was increased more than 2-fold, which was associated with a marked increase in LMP7 expression and decreased peptidylglutamyl peptide-hydrolyzing activity. Increases in BrAAP activity in supernatants from cells treated with interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, interleukin-6, or lipopolysaccharide paralleled the increases in LMP7 expression. These findings are consistent with the conclusion that the increased BrAAP activity of LMP-containing multicatalytic proteinase complex results from incorporation of LMP7 or other LMP subunits.
