Activation of the programmed cell death pathway by inhibition of proteasome function in plants.

Abstract excerpt

Proteasomes constitute the major machinery to degrade or process proteins by ATP/ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Recent findings suggest a pivotal role of the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway in the regulation of apoptosis in animal cells. Here we show that virus-induced gene silencing of two different subunits of the 26 S proteasome, the alpha 6 subunit of the 20 S proteasome and RPN9 subunit of 19 S regulatory...
