Regulatory features of multicatalytic and 26S proteases

Curr Top Cell Regul. 1996:34:1-32. doi: 10.1016/s0070-2137(96)80001-x.

Abstract

It should be clear from the foregoing accounts that our understanding of MCP and 26S regulation is still rudimentary. Moreover, we have only recently identified about a dozen natural substrates of these two proteases. Those outside the field may view the situation with some dismay. Those who study the MCP and 26S enzymes are provided with rich opportunities to address fundamental questions of protein catabolism and metabolic regulation.
