Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 99:4644-4649(2002). CC -!- FUNCTION: Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex CC with broad specificity involved in protein degradation. CC {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00289}. CC -!- ACTIVITY REGULATION: The formation of the proteasomal ATPase PAN-20S CC proteasome complex, via the docking of the C-termini of PAN into the CC intersubunit pockets in the alpha-rings, triggers opening of the gate CC for substrate entry. Interconversion between the open-gate and close- CC gate conformations leads to a dynamic regulation of the 20S proteasome CC proteolysis activity. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00289}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: The 20S proteasome core is composed of 14 alpha and 14 beta CC subunits that assemble into four stacked heptameric rings, resulting in CC a barrel-shaped structure. The two inner rings, each composed of seven CC catalytic beta subunits, are sandwiched by two outer rings, each CC composed of seven alpha subunits. The catalytic chamber with the active CC sites is on the inside of the barrel. Has a gated structure, the ends CC of the cylinder being occluded by the N-termini of the alpha-subunits. CC Is capped at one or both ends by the proteasome regulatory ATPase, PAN. CC {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00289}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00289}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase T1A family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- CC Rule:MF_00289}.
