Structure of human immunoproteasome with a reversible and noncompetitive inhibitor that selectively inhibits activated lymphocytes

Abstract

Immunoproteasome selective inhibitors might lead to less toxic drugs for treatment of multiple myeloma and graft rejection. Here, the authors develop immunoproteasome specific asparagine-ethylenediamine (AsnEDA)-based inhibitory compounds, demonstrate their efficacy and present the AsnEDA bound immunoproteasome cryo-EM structure.
