Human Proteasome Found to Produce Natural Antibiotics
An Israeli team discovered that the human proteasome produces antimicrobial peptides with antibiotic properties; this was shown by comparing infection rates in cells with and without functional proteasomes and isolating the peptides to confirm their antibiotic effects in vitro and in mice.

Human Body's Proteasome Discovered as Source of Potential New Antibiotics
A new immune system mechanism has been discovered where the proteasome, a structure in every body cell that recycles proteins, transforms into an infection-fighting weapon when a cell is infected, creating potential new antibiotics to fight superbugs.
