摘要: 26S proteasomes are multisubunit protease complexes that play the central role in ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway. The proteolytically active core is formed by 20S proteasome. Regulatory subunits, principally 19S cap complex, confer specificity towards ubiquitinated substrates and an ATP-dependence on proteolysis. Green fluorescence (GFP)-tagged versions of either α-subunit or ATPase subunit complex were functionally incorporated into thus allowing to monitor subcellular distribution living yeast. Our localization studies suggest proteasomal proteolysis mainly occurs at nuclear envelope (NE)/rough ER. Implications functions NE/rough ER discussed context published work with regard possible targeting mechanisms.
