Target type: cellularcomponent
The proteasome core subcomplex that constitutes the two outer rings of the proteasome core complex. An example of this component is found in Mus musculus. [GOC:jl, GOC:mtg_sensu, GOC:rb, PMID:10854779]
The proteasome core complex, alpha-subunit complex, is a 14-subunit ring structure that forms the outer chamber of the 26S proteasome. This ring is responsible for recognizing and binding to ubiquitinated proteins destined for degradation. Each alpha-subunit is approximately 25 kDa in size and contains a unique N-terminal domain that projects into the central cavity of the ring. These domains are essential for the regulatory functions of the complex, including substrate selection, gate opening, and preventing the uncontrolled degradation of cellular proteins. The alpha-subunit complex also plays a role in maintaining the structural integrity of the proteasome, ensuring its proper assembly and stability. Its specific functions include:
* **Substrate recognition**: The N-terminal domains of the alpha-subunits interact with ubiquitin chains attached to target proteins, facilitating their recognition and binding.
* **Gate control**: The alpha-subunit ring forms a gate that controls the entry of proteins into the proteolytic chamber.
* **Structural stability**: The alpha-subunit complex provides a rigid scaffold that supports the assembly and stability of the proteasome.
The alpha-subunit complex is highly conserved across different organisms and is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis by controlling protein turnover. Mutations in the alpha-subunits can lead to various cellular dysfunctions and disease states.'

| chlorpromazine | chlorpromazine : A substituted phenothiazine in which the ring nitrogen at position 10 is attached to C-3 of an N,N-dimethylpropanamine moiety. Chlorpromazine: The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup. | organochlorine compound; phenothiazines; tertiary amine | anticoronaviral agent; antiemetic; dopaminergic antagonist; EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor; phenothiazine antipsychotic drug |
