Abstract
The 20S proteasome, an approximately 700-kDa complex of 28 protein subunits, performs most of the proteolysis that takes place in the cytosol and nucleus of eukaryotic cells. As discussed elsewhere in this volume, structural studies on the 20S proteasome revealed that the active sites are sequestered within a central catalytic chamber that substrates access by passing through a narrow opening (α annulus) (Groll et al. 1997; Löwe et al. 1995; Wenzel and Baumeister 1995). This architecture explains how the 20S proteasome, which is an abundant and nonspecific protease, avoids unregulated degradation of inappropriate substrates. Because the α annulus is normally closed by N-terminal sequences of the 20S proteasome α subunits, this architecture also appears to restrict the release of degradation products from the proteasome interior.
