The constitutive proteasome is a multiprotease complex expressed in all eukaryotic cells and plays an important role in regulating intracellular protein homeostasis via ubiquitinmediated degradation of proteins.[1–3] Mammalian cells can also express an alternative form of the proteasome called as the immunoproteasome.[4] The immunoproteasome is expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin but can also be induced in other types of cells upon exposure to cytokines such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ) or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Exposure to these stimuli induces the synthesis of catalytic subunits LMP2 (β1i), MECL1 (β2i) and LMP7 (β5i), which replace their constitutive counterparts Y (β1), Z (β2) and X (β5), respectively, to form the immunoproteasome.[5] The primary function of the immunoproteasome is thought to be the promotion of adaptive immune responses, but recent studies also show that the immunoproteasome plays an important role in other cellular processes [6–8] as well as certain pathological states such as cancer, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.[4, 9–13] Despite recent studies indicating the distinct role of the immunoproteasome in normal and disease states, its functions remain poorly understood, in large part due to the lack of appropriate molecular probes.Over the past decade, chemical probes targeting functionally active proteins have provided great tools for protein functional study.[14–17] For proteasome biology, this type of probe can be particularly useful, since there are two forms of β subunits in cells: catalytically inactive immature (propeptide containing) and active mature forms.[18] The immature β subunits undergo maturation only in the fully assembled proteasome complex.[18] Therefore, proteasome inhibitors which contain active-site-targeting pharmacophores, such as the vinyl sulfone [19] or epoxyketone functional groups,[20] can function as activity-based probes, targeting only the catalytically active β subunits in the fully assembled proteasome. The use of these pharmacophores led to the design of the first generation activity-based fluorescent probes targeting proteasomes, which proved to be useful in functional studies or for inhibitor screening.[21–23] However, due to a high degree of primary sequence and structural
