The 26S proteasome is an approximately 2.5 mDa large complex composed of the 20S proteasome and the 19S regulatory particle (also called PA700 in mammals). The 20S proteasome has 28 subunits that form a barrel - shaped structure arranged as four heptomeric ring of alphabetabetaalpha. Three beta subunits have peptidase activities that hydrolyze proteins. Either one or both ends of the 20S proteasome can associate with PA700 to form the 26S proteasome. PA700 contains 19 different proteins that have the ability to bind, deubiquitinate and unfold polyubiquitinated proteins with the consumption of ATP hydrolysis. The 26S proteasome degrades polyubiquitinated proteins, which plays essential roles in regulating various cellular events including protein quality control, gene transcription and signal transduction.
