== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PRS7_YEAST PRS7_YEAST] 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 (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Protein homeostasis depends on the 26S proteasome, the most complex ATP-dependent protease in eukaryotic cells. The proteasome base subcomplex is responsible for mechanical substrate unfolding and translocation into an internal degradation chamber. It contains three non-ATPase subunits, Rpn1, Rpn2, and Rpn13, and a heterohexameric AAA+ motor with six distinct ATPases, Rpt1 - Rpt6. Correct base assembly requires four dedicated chaperones that initially form the Hsm3 module (Hsm3-Rpt1-Rpt2-Rpn1), the Rpn14/Nas6 module (Rpn14-Rpt6-Nas6-Rpt3-Rpn2-Rpn13), and the Nas2 module (Nas2-Rpt5-Rpt4). However, the mechanisms underlying module assembly and formation of the mature base remain unknown. Here, we in vitro reconstitute the base subcomplex of the S. cerevisiae 26S proteasome from recombinant modules. Using biochemical assays, mass photometry, single-molecule fluorescence measurements, and single-particle cryo-EM, we reveal how the chaperones direct the conformational transitions through several intermediates toward the ATP-hydrolysis-active base. The Nas2 and Rpn14/Nas6 modules associate first, and binding of the Hsm3 module creates a state in which the chaperones stabilize an open ATPase ring that lacks hydrolysis activity. Sequential chaperone release then leads to a gradual ATPase-ring closure, whereby Hsm3's unstructured C-terminal tail mimics a substrate polypeptide in the central channel and induces a processing motor state with a spiral-staircase arrangement of Rpt subunits and a closed ATPase site at Rpt4. Inaugural ATP hydrolysis in Rpt4 is subsequently required to eject Hsm3 and transition to the Nas6-bound base that is ATPase active and competent for 26S-proteasome incorporation. Our studies thus provide exciting insights into how chaperones assure correct assembly, guide the complex through an intricate conformational landscape, and thereby prevent premature ATP-hydrolysis activation or incorporation of faulty assemblies into holoenzymes.
