Deciphering regulatory principles of proteasome heterogeneity and the degradation landscape in cancer

Proteasome activity is crucial to removal of defective or obsolete proteins, cell signaling and antigen presentation. In cancer, proteasomal degradation was shown to play key roles in tumor growth, antigenicity and response to immunotherapy. Yet, comprehensive analysis of proteasome subunit composition and the degradation landscape in cancer has not been performed to date, rendering our understanding of inter-patient proteasome heterogeneity and proteasome-dependent mechanisms underlying tumor-immune interactions far from complete. Our novel, unbiased approach, MAPP, for MS Analysis of Proteasome-cleaved Peptides, is ideally suited to examine the missing link between cellular degradation…
