Protein Function | 26S proteasome is the principal proteolytic machine responsible for regulated protein degradation in eukaryotic cells; 26S proteasome (Box 1) can be divided in two subcomplexes,the core particle (CP, 20S) and the regulatoryparticle (RP, 19S). The RP receives, assists in deubiquitination,and unfolds ubiquitinated protein substrates, that are subsequently translocated into an enclosed cavity formed by the CP;cellular functions range from general protein homeostasis and stress response to the control of vital processes such as cell division and signal transduction; Ubiquitin modifications target condemned proteins to the proteasome; essential for general protein and amino acid homeostasis and controls a myriad of essential cellular processes, including the cell cycle, DNA replication, transcription,signal transduction, and stress responses. One of the components of the 26S proteasome, a multiprotein complex involved in the ATP-driven degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. This complex plays an important role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis by removing misfolded or damaged proteins. |
