Reviews

... a comprehensive chapter on the structure of large, self-compartmentalizing proteases ... gives an overview how complex these 'molecular machines' are that keep our cells clean. The individual chapters are followed by extensive references, and this will quarantee immediate guided access to the important literature. In summary, the book provides much more than anyone could assemble from Pubmed in a meaningful way to get informed appropriately. (Zellbiologie aktuell) The series - when completed - is likely to become a comprehensive work of reference on the ubiquitin/proteasome system. (ChemBioChem)

Author Information

John Mayer obtained his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Birmingham (UK). He is currently serving as Professor of Biochemistry at the School of Biomedical Sciences at Nottingham University. For the past 30 years, he has investigated intracellular proteolysis and particularly the ubiquitin/proteasome system. Presently, he is particularly interested in intracellular proteolysis in relation to neurodegenerative illnesses. Aaron Ciechanover obtained his MD from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Israel), and his PhD from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, where he is presently serving as Professor of Biochemistry. Professor Ciechanover is known for his discovery of the first ubiquitin system mutant cell, demonstrating the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic system in protein degradation in vivo. In 2004, he has received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his ground-breaking work on the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Martin Rechsteiner is Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City (USA). He is interested in the proteasome component of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. He has identified several key regulators of proteasome function and is currently working on their structural and functional elucidation.
