Although proteasomes are mainly located in the cytosol, it is known that significant amounts are also associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes where they may play a role in the degradation of specific ER membrane proteins. The present studies were undertaken to compare ER and cytosolic proteasomal activities in WB rat liver cells. N-Heptyl-β-thioglucopyranoside (HTG) extracts of membrane or cytosol fractions were chromatographed in glycerol/ATP buffers on size-exclusion and ion-exchange columns and the elution profiles of proteasomal peptidase activity and immunoreactive components of the 20S complex, 19S complex, and PA28 were compared. Cytosol fractions showed a single peak of chymotrypsin-like peptidase activity (Cht-L), which was inhibited completely by 5 μM lactacystin (LC) or SDS (0.03%) and corresponded to 26S proteasomes based upon the presence of both 20S and 19S components. By comparison, membrane fractions contained two major peaks of Cht-L activity. The first peak shared the same properties as the peak activity observed in cytosol fractions. However, the second peak was stimulated by SDS and was LC-insensitive (5 μM) and contained trypsin-like (T-L) and peptide-glutamyl peptidase (PGPH) but no cathepsin or calcium-activated protease activities. PA28 activator protein was present in both membrane and cytosol fractions. Thus, the principal difference between cytosolic and membrane activity was that the latter fractions contained a novel membrane-associated LC-insensitive protease(s) catalyzing three of the major peptidase activities of the proteasome.
