Abstract
Effects of the endogenous neuroprotector isatin and the pharmacological drug afobazole (exhibiting neuroprotective properties) on behavioral reactions and quantitative changes in the brain proteomic profile have been investigated in rats with experimental rotenone Parkinsonism. A single dose of isatin (100 mg/kg subcutaneously on the last day of a 7-day course of rotenone administration) improved the motor activity of rats with rotenone-induced Parkinsonism in the open field test (horizontal movements) and the rotating rod test. Afobazole (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally, daily during the 7-day course of rotenone administration) reduced the manifestations of rigidity and postural instability. Proteomic analysis, performed using brain samples obtained the day after the last administration of rotenone and neuroprotectors, revealed similar quantitative changes in the brain of rats with rotenone Parkinsonism. An increase in the relative content of 65 proteins and a decrease in the relative content of 21 proteins were detected. The most pronounced changes - an almost ninety-fold increase in the alpha-synuclein content - were found in the brains of rats treated with isatin. In animals of the experimental groups treated with "Rotenone + Isatin", as well as "Rotenone + Afobazole", the increase in the relative content of this protein in the brain was almost 60 and 50 times higher than the control values. Taking into consideration the known data on the physiological role of alpha-synuclein, an increase in the content of this protein in the brain upon administration of neuroprotectors to animals with rotenone Parkinsonism may represent a compensatory reaction, at least in the early stages of this disease and the beginning of its treatment.

Abstract
Isatin (indoldione-2,3) is an endogenous regulator found in humans and animals. It exhibits a broad range of biological activity mediated by numerous isatin-binding proteins. Isatin produces neuroprotective effects in several experimental models of diseases, including Parkinsonism induced by the neurotoxin MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine).Rotenone (a neurotoxin used to modeling Parkinson's disease in rodents) causes significant changes in the profile of isatin-binding proteins of rat brain. Comparative proteomic identification of brain proteins of control rats and the rats with the rotenone-induced Parkinsonian syndrome (PS) revealed significant quantitative changes of 86 proteins under the influence of rotenone. This neurotoxin mainly caused the increase of the quantity of proteins involved in signal transduction and regulation of enzyme activity (24), proteins involved in cytoskeleton formation and exocytosis (23), and enzymes involved in energy generation and carbohydrate metabolism (19). However, only 11 of these proteins referred to isatin-binding proteins; the content of eight of them increased while the content of three proteins decreased. This suggests that the dramatic change of the profile of isatin-binding proteins, found in the development of the rotenone-induced PS, comes from changes in the state of the pre-existing molecules of proteins, rather than altered expression of corresponding genes.

Abstract
Abstract
Proteasomes are highly conserved multienzyme complexes responsible for proteolytic degradation of the short-lived, regulatory, misfolded, and damaged proteins. They play an important role in the processes of brain plasticity, and decrease in their function is accompanied by the development of neurodegenerative pathology. Studies performed in different laboratories both on cultured mammalian and human cells and on preparations of the rat and rabbit brain cortex revealed a large number of proteasome-associated proteins. Since the identified proteins belong to certain metabolic pathways, multiple enrichment of the proteasome fraction with these proteins indicates their important role in proteasome functioning. Extrapolation of the experimental data, obtained on various biological objects, to the human brain suggests that the proteasome-associated proteins account for at least 28% of the human brain proteome. The proteasome interactome of the brain contains a large number of proteins involved in the assembly of these supramolecular complexes, regulation of their functioning, and intracellular localization, which could be changed under different conditions (for example, during oxidative stress) or in different phases of the cell cycle. In the context of molecular functions of the Gene Ontology (GO) Pathways, the proteins of the proteasome interactome mediate cross-talk between components of more than 30 metabolic pathways annotated in terms of GO. The main result of these interactions is binding of adenine and guanine nucleotides, crucial for realization of the nucleotide-dependent functions of the 26S and 20S proteasomes. Since the development of neurodegenerative pathology is often associated with regioselective decrease in the functional activity of proteasomes, a positive therapeutic effect would be obviously provided by the factors increasing proteasomal activity. In any case, pharmacological regulation of the brain proteasomes seems to be realized through the changes in composition and/or activity of the proteins associated with proteasomes (deubiquitinase, PKA, CaMKIIα, etc.).

Abstract
The neurotoxins rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (МPTP) are used for modeling Parkinson's disease in animals (PD). They induce the mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction, which leads to the dopaminergic (DA) neuron degeneration. The advantage of the rotenone model consists in ability of rotenone to cause neurodegeneration showing symptoms and molecular biological characteristics similar to those of PD. Isatin (indoldione-2,3) is an endogenous regulator found in tissues and biological fluids of humans and animals. It exhibits a broad range of biological activity mediated by numerous isatin-binding proteins. In this work we have investigated behavioral reactions and profiles of brain isatin-binding proteins of rats with Parkinson's syndrome (PS) in comparison with the corresponding parameters of MPTP-induced Parkinsonism in mice. Systemic injection of rotenone caused severe PS comparable with the effect of MPTP injection. It was accompanied by significant body weight loss, death, oligokinesia, muscular rigidity, and postural instability of animals. In spite of the same pathogenic basis of PS caused by rotenone and MPTP, the molecular mechanisms of their action differ. In the case of rotenone-induced PS, the pool of isatin-binding proteins common of the control rats and the rats with PS (146) significantly exceeded the pool of the common proteins of control mice and mice with PS induced by MPTP, whether right after neurotoxin injection (27), or (all the more) in a week after the MPTP injection (14). The comparison of isatin-binding proteins specific of the animals with MPTP-induced PS and with the rotenone-induced PS (as compared with the control animals) revealed total absence of proteins common of these two models of PD. It is to be noted that both neurotoxins particularly affected the proteins participating in the signal transmission and enzyme activity regulation. The changes of the profile of isatin-binding proteins in response to the injection of rotenone suggest that the neuroprotector isatin could also influence positively in the case of the rotenone model of PD.

Abstract
Isatin (indole-2,3-dione) is an endogenous regulator exhibiting various effects mediated by numerous isatin-binding proteins localized in different compartments of cells of the brain and peripheral tissues. It attenuates manifestations of experimental parkinsonism induced by administration of the MPTP neurotoxin and reduces the movement disorders characteristic of this disease. The molecular mechanisms of the neuroprotective action of isatin include its direct interaction with proteasomes, intracellular supramolecular complexes responsible for the targeted elimination of proteins. Incubation of fractions of 26S and 20S rabbit brain proteasomes, containing the whole spectrum of proteasomal subunits, as well as a number of proteasome-associated proteins, with isatin (100 μM) had a significant impact on the profile of released proteins. In the case of 26S proteasomes containing, in addition to the core part (20S proteasome), 19S regulatory subparticles, incubation with isatin resulted in a more than threefold increase in the number of dissociated proteins. In the case of 20S proteasomes (containing only the 20S core particle), incubation with isatin resulted in a significant decrease in the number of dissociated proteins compared to the control. Our results indicate an important role of the regulatory 19S subunit components in the formation of the proteasome subproteome and the sensitivity of these supramolecular complexes to isatin.

Abstract
Isatin (indole-2,3-dione) is an endogenous regulator, exhibiting various behavioral, biological, and pharmacological activities. Synthesis of isatin includes several crucial stages: cleavage of the tryptophan side chain and subsequent oxidation of the indole nucleus. Although these stages require concerted action of bacterial and host enzymes, there are two pathways of isatin formation: the host and bacterial pathways. Isatin acts as a neuroprotector in different experimental models of neurodegeneration. Its effects are realized via up- and downregulation of isatin-responsive genes and via interaction with numerous isatin-binding proteins identified in the brain. The effect of isatin on protein-protein interactions in the brain may be important for realization of weak inhibition of multiple receptor targets.

Abstract
Ubiquitination (the covalent attachment of ubiquitin molecules to target proteins) is one of the main post-translational modifications of proteins. Historically, the type of polyubiquitination, which involves K48 lysine residues of the monomeric ubiquitin, was the first studied type of ubiquitination. It usually targets proteins for their subsequent proteasomal degradation. All the other types of ubiquitination, including monoubiquitination; multi-monoubiquitination; and polyubiquitination involving lysine residues K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, and K63 and N-terminal methionine, were defined as atypical ubiquitination (AU). Good evidence now exists that AUs, participating in the regulation of various cellular processes, are crucial for the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). These AUs target various proteins involved in PD pathogenesis. The K6-, K27-, K29-, and K33-linked polyubiquitination of alpha-synuclein, the main component of Lewy bodies, and DJ-1 (another PD-associated protein) is involved in the formation of insoluble aggregates. Multifunctional protein kinase LRRK2 essential for PD is subjected to K63- and K27-linked ubiquitination. Mitophagy mediated by the ubiquitin ligase parkin is accompanied by K63-linked autoubiquitination of parkin itself and monoubiquitination and polyubiquitination of mitochondrial proteins with the formation of both classical K48-linked ubiquitin chains and atypical K6-, K11-, K27-, and K63-linked polyubiquitin chains. The ubiquitin-specific proteases USP30, USP33, USP8, and USP15, removing predominantly K6-, K11-, and K63-linked ubiquitin conjugates, antagonize parkin-mediated mitophagy.

Abstract
We have isolated fractions of 26S and 20S proteasomes were from the rabbit liver and the brain. According to mass spectrometric (MS) analysis, the 26S proteasome fractions from these organs contained catalytic and regulatory subunits characteristic of the proteasome core and regulatory subunits. The 20S fractions of brain and liver proteasomes contained only catalytic proteasome subunits. In addition to proteasome subunits, the isolated fractions contained components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, ubiquitinated proteins, enzymes that play an important role in metabolic processes, cytoskeletal components, signaling, regulatory, and protective proteins, as well as proteins regulating gene expression, cell division, and differentiation. The abundance of a number of proteasome-associated proteins was comparable or exceeded the abundance of intrinsic proteasome components. About a third of the proteins common to all studied fractions (26S and 20S of brain and liver proteasomes) belong to the group of multifunctional proteins. Selective biosensor validation confirmed the affinity binding of proteins (aldolase, phosphoglycerate kinase) identified during MS analysis to the brain 20S proteasome. Comparison of the subproteomes of the 26S and 20S brain proteasomes showed that removal of components of the regulatory (19S) subparticles caused almost two-fold increase in the total number of individual proteins associated with the core part of the proteasome (20S). In the liver, the number of proteins associated with the core part of the proteasome remained basically unchanged after the removal of the components of the regulatory (19S) subparticles. This indicates that in the brain and, possibly, in other organs, proteins of the regulatory (19S) subunit play an important role in the formation of the proteasome interactome.

Abstract
DJ-1, also known as Parkinson's disease protein 7, is a multifunctional protein ubiquitously expressed in cells and tissues. Interacting with proteins of various intracellular compartments, DJ-1 plays an important role in maintaining different cellular functions. Mutant DJ-1 forms containing amino acid substitutions (especially L166P), typical of Parkinson's disease, are characterized by impaired dimerization, stability, and folding. DJ-1 exhibits several types of catalytic activity; however, in the enzyme classification it exists as protein deglycase (EC 3.5.1.124). Apparently, in different cell compartments DJ-1 exhibits catalytic and non-catalytic functions, and their ratio still remains unknown. Oxidative stress promotes dissociation of cytoplasmic DJ-1 dimers into monomers, which are translocated to the nucleus, where this protein acts as a coactivator of various signaling pathways, preventing cell death. In mitochondria, DJ-1 is found in the synthasome, where it interacts with the β ATP synthase subunit. Downregulation of the DJ-1 gene under conditions of experimental PD increases sensitivity of the cells to neurotoxins, and introduction of the recombinant DJ-1 protein attenuates manifestation of this pathology. The thirteen-membered fragment of the DJ-1 amino acid sequence attached to the heptapeptide of the TAT protein penetrating into the cells exhibited neuroprotective properties in various PD models both in cell cultures and after administration to animals. Low molecular weight DJ-1 ligands also demonstrate therapeutic potential, providing neuroprotective effects seen during their incubation with cells and administration to animals.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) failure contribute significantly to the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). The proteasome subunit Rpn13 located on the regulatory (19S) subparticle play an important role in the delivery of proteins, subjected to degradation, to the proteolytic (20S) part of proteasome. We have previously found several brain mitochondrial proteins specifically bound to Rpn13 (Buneeva et al. (2020) Biochemistry (Moscow), Supplement Series B: Biomedical Chemistry, 14, 297-305). In this study we have investigated the effect of the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and the neuroprotector isatin on the mitochondrial subproteome of Rpn13-binding proteins of the mouse brain. Administration of MPTP (30 mg/kg) to animals caused movement disorders typical of PD, while pretreatment with isatin (100 mg/kg, 30 min before MPTP) reduced their severity. At the same time, the injection of MPTP, isatin, or their combination (isatin + MPTP) had a significant impact on the total number and the composition of Rpn13-binding proteins. The injection of MPTP decreased the total number of Rpn13-binding proteins in comparison with control, and the injection of isatin prior to MPTP or without MPTP caused an essential increase in the number of Rpn13-binding proteins, mainly of the functional group of proteins participating in the protein metabolism regulation, gene expression, and differentiation. Selected biosensor validation confirmed the interaction of Rpn13 subunit of proteasome with some proteins (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, histones H2A and H2B) revealed while proteomic profiling. The results obtained testify that under the conditions of experimental MPTP-induced parkinsonism the neuroprotective effect of isatin may be aimed at the interaction of mitochondria with the components of UPS.

Abstract
A series of multi-substituted isatin derivatives were synthesized using the powerful Sandmeyer reaction. The structures of these derivatives were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HR-MS. Inhibition of proliferation activities of these derivatives against human leukemia cells (K562), human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) and human colon carcinoma cells (HT-29) were evaluated in vitro using the MTT assay. Among the series, compound 4l exhibited strong antiproliferatory activities against K562, HepG2 and HT-29 cells with IC50 values of 1.75, 3.20, and 4.17 μM, respectively. The morphological, growth inhibitory and apoptosic effects of compound 4l in K562 cells, wound healing effect in HepG2 cells, and tube formating effect in matrix gel of HUVEC cells were evaluated consequently. All results indicated that compound 4l could be used as a potential antitumor agent in further investigations.

Abstract
Mitochondria, the energy stations of the cell, are the only extranuclear organelles, containing their own (mitochondrial) DNA (mtDNA) and the protein synthesizing machinery. The location of mtDNA in close proximity to the oxidative phosphorylation system of the inner mitochondrial membrane, the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is an important factor responsible for its much higher mutation rate than nuclear DNA. Being more vulnerable to damage than nuclear DNA, mtDNA accumulates mutations, crucial for the development of mitochondrial dysfunction playing a key role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Good evidence exists that some mtDNA mutations are associated with increased risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD), the movement disorder resulted from the degenerative loss of dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra. Although their direct impact on mitochondrial function/dysfunction needs further investigation, results of various studies performed using cells isolated from PD patients or their mitochondria (cybrids) suggest their functional importance. Studies involving mtDNA mutator mice also demonstrated the importance of mtDNA deletions, which could also originate from abnormalities induced by mutations in nuclear encoded proteins needed for mtDNA replication (e.g., polymerase γ). However, proteomic studies revealed only a few mitochondrial proteins encoded by mtDNA which were downregulated in various PD models. This suggests nuclear suppression of the mitochondrial defects, which obviously involve cross-talk between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes for maintenance of mitochondrial functioning.

Abstract
Isatin (indole-2,3-dione) is an endogenous regulator, exhibiting a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. At doses of 100 mg/kg and above, isatin is neuroprotective in different experimental models of neurodegeneration. Good evidence exists that its effects are realized via interaction with numerous isatin-binding proteins identified in the brain and peripheral tissues studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of a single dose administration of isatin to mice (100 mg/kg, 24 h) on differentially expressed proteins and a profile of the isatin-binding proteins in brain hemispheres. Isatin administration to mice caused downregulation of 31 proteins. However, these changes cannot be attributed to altered expression of corresponding genes. Although at this time point isatin influenced the expression of more than 850 genes in brain hemispheres (including 433 upregulated and 418 downregulated genes), none of them could account for the changes in the differentially expressed proteins. Comparative proteomic analysis of brain isatin-binding proteins of control and isatin-treated mice revealed representative groups of proteins sensitive to isatin administration. Control-specific proteins (n = 55) represent specific targets that interact directly with isatin. Appearance of brain isatin-binding proteins specific to isatin-treated mice (n = 94) may be attributed to the formation of new clusters of protein–protein interactions and/or novel binding sites induced by a high concentration of this regulator (ligand-induced binding sites). Thus, isatin administration produces multiple effects in the brain, which include changes in gene expression and also profiles of isatin-binding proteins and their interactomes. Further studies are needed for deeper insight into the mechanisms of the multilevel changes in the brain proteome induced by isatin. In the context of the neuroprotective action, these changes may be aimed at interruption of pathological links that begin to form after initiation of pathological processes.

Abstract
Good evidence exists that the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays an important role in degradation of mitochondrial proteins and membrane proteins associated with mitochondria (MAM proteins). Mitochondria contain all components of the ubiquitin-conjugating system, which are necessary for the attachment of ubiquitin molecules to target proteins, subjected to subsequent degradation in proteasomes. An important stage in the delivery of proteins for proteolytic degradation in proteasomes is their interaction with ubiquitin receptors located on the regulatory subunit (19S) of the proteasome: the Rpn10 or Rpn13 subunit. These subunits make basically the same contribution to the subsequent translocation of target proteins to the core part of the proteasome. A comparative study of mouse brain mitochondrial subproteomes bound to Rpn10 and Rpn13 subunits revealed a high specificity of the repertoire of Rpn10 and Rpn13-binding proteins. Moreover, proteins, for which mitochondrial localization or association with mitochondrial membranes was previously shown, prevailed in the case of using the Rpn13 subunit as an affinity ligand (Rpn13-binding proteins). This suggests that Rpn10 and Rpn13 play different roles in the degradation of mitochondrial proteins and MAM.

Abstract
The review summarizes the data of our research and published studies on the ubiquitination of brain mitochondrial proteins and its changes during the development of experimental parkinsonism and administration of the neuroprotector isatin (indole-2,3-dione) with special attention to the mitochondrial ubiquitin-conjugating system and location of ubiquitinated proteins in these organelles. Incubation of brain mitochondrial fraction with biotinylated ubiquitin in vitro resulted in the incorporation of biotinylated ubiquitin in both mitochondrial and mitochondria-associated proteins. According to the interactome analysis, the identified non-ubiquitinated proteins are able to form tight complexes with ubiquitinated proteins or their partners and components of mitochondrial membranes, in which interactions of ubiquitin chains with the ubiquitin-binding protein domains play an important role. The studies of endogenous ubiquitination in the total brain mitochondrial fraction of C57Bl mice performed in different laboratories have shown that mitochondrial proteins represent about 30% of all ubiquitinated proteins. However, comparison of brain subproteomes of mitochondrial ubiquitinated proteins reported in the literature revealed significant differences both in their composition and involvement of identified ubiquitinated proteins in biological processes listed in the Gene Ontology database. The development of experimental parkinsonism in C57Bl mice induced by a single-dose administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) resulted in a decrease in the total number of mitochondrial ubiquitinated proteins and increase in the number of oxidized mitochondrial proteins containing the ubiquitin signature (K-ε-GG). Comparison of ubiquitinated proteins associated with the mouse brain mitochondrial fraction and mouse brain mitochondrial proteins bound to the proteasome ubiquitin receptor (Rpn10 subunit) did not reveal any common proteins. This suggests that ubiquitination of brain mitochondrial proteins is not directly related to their degradation in the proteasomes. Proteomic profiling of brain isatin-binding proteins identified enzymes involved in the ubiquitin-conjugating system functioning. Mapping of the identified isatin-binding proteins to known metabolic pathways indicates their participation in the parkin (E3 ubiquitin ligase)-associated pathway (CH000000947). The functional links involving brain mitochondrial ubiquitinated proteins were found only in the group of animals with the MPTP-induced parkinsonism, but not in animals treated with MPTP/isatin or isatin only. This suggests that the neuroprotective effect of isatin may be associated with the impaired functional relationships of proteins targeted to subsequent degradation.

Abstract
Isatin (indol-2,3-dione), an endogenous biofactor found in the brain, peripheral tissues and biological body fluids of humans and animals, exhibits a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. They are realized via interaction with numerous isatin-binding proteins. Some of these proteins identified during proteomic profiling of the brain are involved in the development of neurodegenerative pathology. In the context of the neuroprotective effect, the effect of isatin is comparable to the effects of deprenyl (selegiline), a pharmacological agent used for treatment of Parkinson's disease. In this study, we have investigated the effect of a single dose administration of isatin (100 mg/kg) and deprenyl (10 mg/kg) to mice on the profile of the brain isatin-binding proteins. Comparative proteomic analysis of brain isatin-binding proteins of mice treated with isatin or deprenyl resulted in identification of a representative group of proteins (n=200) sensitive to the administration of these substances. The change in the profile of isatin-binding proteins may be obviously attributed to accumulation of isatin and deprenyl in the brain and their interaction with target proteins; this prevents protein binding to the affinity sorbent. Thus identified brain isatin-binding proteins of the control animals obviously represent specific targets that interact directly with isatin (and also with deprenyl) <i>in vivo</i>. Isatin or deprenyl administered to animals interact with these proteins and thus inhibit their binding to the affinity sorbent (immobilized isatin analogue).

Abstract
Proteasomes are large supramolecular protein complexes present in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, where they perform targeted degradation of intracellular proteins. Until recently, it was generally accepted that prior proteolytic degradation in proteasomes the proteins had to be targeted by ubiquitination: the ATP-dependent addition of (typically four sequential) residues of the low-molecular ubiquitin protein, involving the ubiquitin-activating enzyme, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and ubiquitin ligase. The cytoplasm and nucleoplasm proteins labeled in this way are then digested in 26S proteasomes. However, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that using this route the cell eliminates only a part of unwanted proteins. Many proteins can be cleaved by the 20S proteasome in an ATP-independent manner and without previous ubiquitination. Ubiquitin-independent protein degradation in proteasomes is a relatively new area of studies of the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. However, recent data obtained in this direction already correct existing concepts about proteasomal degradation of proteins and its regulation. Ubiquitin-independent proteasome degradation needs the main structural precondition in proteins: the presence of unstructured regions in the amino acid sequences that provide interaction with the proteasome. Taking into consideration that in humans almost half of all genes encode proteins that contain a certain proportion of intrinsically disordered regions, it appears that the list of proteins undergoing ubiquitin-independent degradation will demonstrate further increase. Since 26S of proteasomes account for only 30% of the total proteasome content in mammalian cells, most of the proteasomes exist in the form of 20S complexes. The latter suggests that ubiquitin-independent proteolysis performed by the 20S proteasome is a natural process of removing damaged proteins from the cell and maintaining a constant level of intrinsically disordered proteins. In this case, the functional overload of proteasomes in aging and/or other types of pathological processes, if it is not accompanied by triggering more radical mechanisms for the elimination of damaged proteins, organelles and whole cells, has the most serious consequences for the whole organism.

Abstract
Isatin (indole-2,3-dione) is an endogenous indole found in the mammalian brain, peripheral organs and body fluids. It acts as a neuroprotector, which decreases manifestation of locomotor impairments in animal models of Parkinson's disease. A wide range of biological activity of isatin is associated with interaction of this regulator with numerous isatin-binding proteins. The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of brain isatin-binding proteins in mice with MPTP-induced Parkinsonism (90 min and seven days after administration of this neurotoxin). A single dose administration of MPTP (30 mg/kg, ip.) was accompanied by locomotor impairments in the open field test 90 min after administration; seven days after MPTP administration locomotor activity of mice significantly improved but did not reach the control level. Five independent experiments on proteomic profiling of isatin-binding proteins resulted in confident identification of 96±12 proteins. Development of MPTP-induced locomotor impairments was accompanied by a significant decrease in the number of isatin-binding proteins (63±6; n=5; p<0.01). Seven days after MPTP administration the total number of identified proteins increased and reached the control level (132±34; n=4). The profiles of isatin-binding proteins were rather specific for each group of mice: in the control group these proteins (which were not found in both groups of MPTP-treated mice) represented more than 70% of total proteins. In the case of MPTP treated mice this parameter was 60% (90 min after MPTP administration) and >82% (seven days after MPTP administration). The major changes were found in the groups of isatin-binding proteins involved into cytoskeleton formation and exocytosis, regulation of gene expression, cell division and differentiation and also proteins involved in signal transduction.

Abstract
Mitochondria are a crucial target for the actions of neurotoxins, causing symptoms of Parkinson's disease in various experimental animal models, and also neuroprotectors. There is evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction induced by the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) influences functioning of the ubiquitin-proteasomal system (UPS) responsible for selective proteolytic degradation of proteins from various intracellular compartments (including mitochondria) and neuroprotective effects of certain anti-Parkisonian agents (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) may be associated with their effects on the UPS. In this study, we have investigated the effect of the neurotoxin MPTP and neuroprotector isatin, and their combination on the profile of ubiquitinated brain mitochondrial proteins. The development of movement disorders induced by MPTP administration caused dramatic changes in the profile of ubiquitinated proteins associated with mitochondria. Pretreatment with the neuroprotector isatin decreased manifestations of MPTP-induced Parkinsonism, and had a significant impact on the profile of ubiquitinated mitochondrial proteins (including oxidative modified proteins). Administration of isatin alone to intact mice also influenced the profile of ubiquitinated mitochondrial proteins, and increased the proportion of oxidized proteins carrying the ubiquitination signature. These alterations in the ubiquitination of mitochondrial proteins observed within 2 h after administration of MPTP and isatin obviously reflect immediate short-term biological responses to these treatments.

Abstract
Severity or duration of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress leads to two different cellular events: cell survival and apoptosis. Drug-induced ER stress or neurotoxicity has been observed as one of the main side effects. However, how ER stress affects cellular signaling cascades leading to neuronal damage is still not well understood. In this study, the toxicological mechanisms of two typical ER stress inducers, tunicamycin (Tm) and dithiothreitol (DTT), were investigated by cell viability, unfolded protein response, apoptosis and proteomic responses in mouse neuro-2a cells. A large portion of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) that participate in protein synthesis and folding were identified in the Tm treated group, indicating adaptive cellular responses like the unfolded protein response were activated, which was not the case in the DTT treated group. Interestingly, KEGG pathway analysis and validation experiments revealed that proteins involved in proteasomal degradation were down-regulated by both inducers, while proteins involved in ubiquitination were up-regulated by Tm and down-regulated by DTT. A protein responsible for delivering ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome, the UV excision repair protein RAD23 homolog A (HR23 A), was discovered as a DEP altered by both Tm and DTT. This protein was down-regulated in the Tm treated group and up-regulated in the DTT treated group, which explained the differences we observed in the ubquintination and proteasomal degradation pathways. Autophagy was activated in the Tm treated group, suggesting that it may serve as a compensatory effect to proteasomal degradation. Our work provides new insights into the neurotoxicity generated by various ER stress inducers and the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Isatin (indole-2,3-dione) is an oxidized indole. It is widely distributed in mammalian tissues and body fluids, where isatin concentrations vary significantly from <0.1 to > 10 µM. Isatin output is increased under conditions of stress. Exogenously administered isatin is characterized by low toxicity, mutagenicity, and genotoxicity in vivo. Cytotoxic effects of isatin on various cell cultures are usually observed at concentrations exceeding 100 µM. Binding of [3 H]isatin to rat brain sections is consistent with its physiological concentrations. Proteomic analysis of mouse and rat brain isatin-binding proteins revealed about 90 individual proteins, which demonstrated significant interspecies differences (rat versus mouse). Certain evidence exist that redox state(s) and possibly other types of posttranslational modifications regulate affinity of target proteins to isatin. Recent data suggest that interacting with numerous intracellular isatin binding proteins, isatin can act as a regulator of complex protein networks in norm and pathology. Physiological concentrations of isatin in vitro inhibit monoamine oxidase B and natriuretic peptide receptor guanylate cyclase, higher (neuroprotective) concentrations (50-400 μM) cause apoptosis of various (including malignant tumor) cell lines and influence expression of certain apoptosis-related genes. Being administered in vivo, isatin exhibits various behavioral effects; it attenuates manifestations of MPTP-induced parkinsonism and tumor growth in experimental animal models. © 2017 BioFactors, 44(2):95-108, 2018.

Abstract
Isatin (indol-2,3-dione) is an endogenous indole found in the brain, peripheral tissues and biological body fluids of humans and animals. Its wide spectrum of biological activity is realized via interaction with numerous isatin-binding proteins; these include proteins playing an important role in the development of neurodegenerative pathology. In the context of the neuroprotective effect, the effect of isatin is comparable to the effects of deprenyl, a pharmacological agent used for treatment of Parkinson's disease. In this study, the effects of the course of deprenyl (1 mg/kg) and isatin (20 mg/kg) administration for 21 days on the profile of the isatin-binding proteins of the liver of mice have been investigated. Proteomic profiling of liver isatin-binding proteins of control mice by means of 5-aminocaproylisatin as an affinity ligand resulted in identification of 105 proteins. Treatment of animals with a low dose of isatin slightly decreased (up to 91), while injections of deprenyl slightly increased (up to 120) the total number of isatin-binding proteins. 75 proteins were common for all three groups; they represented from 62.5% (in deprenyl treated mice) and 71% (in control mice), to 82% (isatin treated mice) of the total number of identified liver isatin-binding proteins. Proteomic analysis of the isatin-binding proteins of mice treated with isatin (20 mg/kg) or deprenyl (1 mg/kg) for 21 days revealed a representative group of proteins (n=30) that were sensitive to the administration of these substances. Taking into account the previously obtained results, it is reasonable to suggest that the change in the profile of isatin-binding proteins may be attributed to accumulation of isatin and deprenyl in the liver and interaction with target proteins prevents their subsequent binding to the affinity sorbent. In this context, the identified isatin-binding liver proteins of control animals that do not bind to the affinity sorbent (immobilized isatin analogue) after treatment of animals with either deprenyl or isatin appear to be specific targets directly interacting with isatin in vivo.

Abstract
Recent proteomic profiling of mouse brain preparations using the ubiquitin receptor, Rpn10 proteasome subunit, as an affinity ligand revealed a representative group of proteins bound to this sorbent (Medvedev, A. E., et al. (2017) Biochemistry (Moscow), 82, 330-339). In the present study, we investigated interaction of the Rpn10 subunit of proteasomes with some of these identified proteins: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), pyruvate kinase, and histones H2A and H2B. The study revealed: (i) quantitative affinity interaction of the proteasome subunit immobilized on a Biacore-3000 optical biosensor cuvette with both the GAPDH (Kd = 2.4·10-6 M) and pyruvate kinase (Kd = 2.8·10-5 M); (ii) quantitative high-affinity interaction of immobilized histones H2A and H2B with the Rpn10 subunit (Kd values of 6.5·10-8 and 3.2·10-9 M, respectively). Mass spectrometric analysis revealed the presence of the ubiquitin signature (GG) only in a highly purified preparation of GAPDH. We suggest that binding (especially high-affinity binding) of non-ubiquitinated proteins to the Rpn10 proteasome subunit can both regulate the functioning of this proteasomal ubiquitin receptor (by competing with ubiquitinated substrates) and promote activation of other pathways for proteolytic degradation of proteins destined to the proteasome.

Abstract
Biochemical processes in synapses and other neuronal compartments underlie neuroplasticity (functional and structural alterations in the brain enabling adaptation to the environment, learning, memory, as well as rehabilitation after brain injury). This basic molecular level of brain plasticity covers numerous specific proteins (enzymes, receptors, structural proteins, etc.) participating in many coordinated and interacting signal and metabolic processes, their modulation forming a molecular basis for brain plasticity. The articles in this issue are focused on different "hot points" in the research area of biochemical mechanisms supporting neuroplasticity.
