title: Proteasome: from structure to function.
abstract: During the past two years, significant progress has been made in understanding the structure and function of the proteasome. Recent work has revealed the three-dimensional structure of the 700 kDa proteolytic complex at atomic resolution and elucidated its novel catalytic mechanism. Close relationships to a number of other amino-terminal hydrolases have emerged, making the proteasomal subunits the prototype of this newly discovered structural superfamily.
