Another key early finding was that the cleavage of the ubiquitin chain from the substrate was ATP-dependent and was coupled to the translocation of the protein substrate into the 20S core PubMed:24457024
Thus, the binding of substrate to the 26S and its concomitant translocation into the 20S results in the activation of Rpn11 through a conformational change. PubMed:24457024
This activity promotes both the recycling of chains back into the free cellular pool of ubiquitin and creates space for the protein substrate to enter the 20S core. PubMed:24457024
In fact, increased macroautophagy may be responsible for the increase in the degradation of long-lived proteins that we observed for both mutant forms of tau under these conditions (Fig. 3b) PubMed:29024336
Cells expressing tau-A152T displayed significantly higher rates of intracellular protein degradation than the other cells under basal conditions (Fig. 3a) PubMed:29024336
A similar significant increase in protein degradation was observed in response to serum removal in cells expressing either of the mutants (Fig. 3b) PubMed:29024336

All proteins, including tau, are subject to extensive regulation by the cellular quality control pathways, which carefully control the balance between protein expression and turnover to maintain healthy protein homeostasis (or proteostasis) PubMed:21882945
Moreover, these compounds were found to prolong binding of Hsp90 to a model substrate, which was sufficient to promote its degradation [142] PubMed:21882945
However, some proteins fail to be transported out of the brain through intercellular tight junctions, and can only be transported into blood by transporters expressed in the capillary endothelium PubMed:29626319
Under physiological conditions, UPS, located in the cytosol and the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, as a major intracellular short-lived protein degradation system (Schwartz and Ciechanover 2009), mediates the clearance of misfolded or other abnormally modified proteins with the help of ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), ubiquitin ligase (E3), and the 26S proteasome for the sake of preventing the accumulation of toxic substances (Shang and Taylor 2011) PubMed:29626319

Ubiquitin, the crucial signal for efficient sorting of proteins into the MVB (Babst et al. 1997), initiates this process, which is mediated by a group of ESCRT complexes (endosomal sorting complex required for transport; Hurley 2010). PubMed:22908190
In CMA, cytosolic proteins containing a KFERQ motif (including proteins pathogenic in some neurodegenerative diseases) are selectively targeted by certain chaperones to the lysosomal lumen for degradation (Arias et al. 2011). PubMed:22908190
Interdependence of the proteasome and lysosomal system is also suggested by observations that, when proteasome activity is inhibited, proteins accumulate that become substrates for autophagy (Fortun et al. 2003) PubMed:22908190
Accelerated endocytosis also increases protein and lipid accumulation in endosomes and slows lysosomal degradation of endocytic cargoes (Cataldo et al. 2008), leading to lysosomal instability and neurodegeneration, as discussed below. PubMed:22908190

Sequestered material within autophagosomes is digested when lysosomes or late endosomes fuse with the outer membrane of the autophagosome (Gordon et al. 1988). PubMed:22908190
Ubiquitinated target proteins bind to the 19S cap (RP), which has a Ub binding site and ATPase activity, and this leads to cleavage of Ub moieties from the target by deubiquitinating enzymes, unfolds the polypeptides and sends them to the narrow channel of the 20S core particle. PubMed:22908190
It is this abnormal rab5 activation that causes protein and lipid accumulation in endosomes, slowed lysosomal degradation of endocytic cargoes,endosome swelling (Cataldo et al. 2008), and disrupted retrograde transport of endosomes (S Kim and RA Nixon, unpubl.). PubMed:22908190
The substrate-chaperone complex is then targeted to the lysosome by binding to lysosome-associated membrane protein 2A (LAMP-2A) which carries out receptor-mediated translocation of the substrate into the lysosome for degradation [11,13] PubMed:18930136
Microautophagy consists of direct engulfment of small volumes of cytosol by lysosomes [10], whereas chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) involves selective, receptor-mediated translocation of proteins into the lysosomal lumen [11]. PubMed:18930136
“Autophagy”, literally “self-eating”, describes a catabolic process in which cell constituents such as organelles and proteins are delivered to the lysosomal compartment for degradation. PubMed:18930136
