FunctionPRS8_HUMAN The 26S protease is involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. The regulatory (or ATPase) complex confers ATP dependency and substrate specificity to the 26S complex. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe proteasome is an ATP-dependent, 2.5-megadalton machine responsible for selective protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. Here we present cryo-EM structures of the substrate-engaged human proteasome in seven conformational states at 2.8-3.6 A resolution, captured during breakdown of a polyubiquitylated protein. These structures visualize a continuum of dynamic substrate-proteasome interactions from ubiquitin recognition to substrate translocation, during which ATP hydrolysis sequentially navigates through all six ATPases. Three principal modes of coordinated hydrolysis are observed, featuring hydrolytic events in two oppositely positioned ATPases, in two adjacent ATPases, and in one ATPase at a time. These hydrolytic modes regulate deubiquitylation, translocation initiation and processive unfolding of substrates, respectively. ATP hydrolysis powers a hinge-like motion in each ATPase that regulates its substrate interaction. Synchronization of ATP binding, ADP release and ATP hydrolysis in three adjacent ATPases drives rigid-body rotations of substrate-bound ATPases that are propagated unidirectionally in the ATPase ring and unfold the substrate.
