Chaperone required for correct maturation of the 20S proteasome; short-lived chaperone; may inhibit premature dimerization of proteasome half-mers; degraded by proteasome upon completion of its assembly.

ATPase of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome; one of six ATPases of the regulatory particle; involved in the degradation of ubiquitinated substrates; required for normal peptide hydrolysis by the core 20S particle; N-myristoylation of Rpt2p at Gly2 is involved in regulating the proper intracellular distribution of proteasome activity by controlling the nuclear localization of the 26S proteasome.

Essential, non-ATPase regulatory subunit of the 26S proteasome lid; required for the assembly and activity of the 26S proteasome; the human homolog (S9 protein) partially rescues Rpn6p depletion; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress.

Subunit of the CSN and 26S proteasome lid complexes; similar to mammalian p55 subunit and to another S. cerevisiae regulatory subunit, Rpn7p; Rpn5p is an essential protein; the COP9 signalosome is also known as the CSN.

ATPase of the 19S regulatory particle of the 26S proteasome; one of ATPases of the regulatory particle; involved in the degradation of ubiquitinated substrates; substrate of N-acetyltransferase B.

Beta 4 subunit of the 20S proteasome; localizes to the nucleus throughout the cell cycle; Belongs to the peptidase T1B family.

Beta 3 subunit of the 20S proteasome; involved in ubiquitin-dependent catabolism; human homolog is subunit C10.

Proteasome activator; binds the core proteasome (CP) and stimulates proteasome-mediated protein degradation by inducing gate opening; required for sequestering CP into proteasome storage granule (PSG) during quiescent phase and for nuclear import of CP in proliferating cells; required for resistance to bleomycin, may be involved in protecting against oxidative damage; similar to mammalian PA200.
