MG132

Chemical compound

MG132 is a potent, reversible, and cell-permeable proteasome inhibitor[1] (Ki = 4 nM). It belongs to the class of synthetic peptide aldehydes.[2][3] It reduces the degradation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins in mammalian cells and permeable strains of yeast by the 26S complex without affecting its ATPase or isopeptidase activities. MG132 activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1), which initiates apoptosis. MG132 also inhibits NF-κB activation with an IC50 of 3 μM and prevents β-secretase cleavage.

Molecular mechanism

There are several inhibitors that can readily enter cell and selectively inhibit degradative pathway. It includes peptide aldehydes, such as Cbz-leu-leu-leucinal (MG132), Cbz-leu-leu-norvalinal (MG115) and acetyl-leu-leu-norleucinal (ALLN).[1] These are substrate analogues and potent transition-state inhibitors of chymotrypsin like activity of proteasome machinery.[4][5] The peptide aldehydes are also known to inhibit certain lysosomal cysteine proteases and the calpains hence MG132 may not be exclusive inhibitor of proteasomal pathway.[4]
