    The thymoproteasome is a specialized type of proteasomes expressed exclusively in the thymic cortex. It has a unique catalytic subunit β5t with unusual enzymatic activity. The thymoproteasome exhibits lower chymotrypsin-like activity than other forms of proteasomes such as constitut...

    We earlier identified as containing the glucocorticoid response element, a 7-bp activator-protein-1 (AP-1)-like motif in the rat TH gene. We cloned this hTH-CRII region upstream of minimal basal hTH promoter in luciferase (Luc) reporter vector, and tested glucocorticoid responsiveness in human cell...
