AAA-ATPase ring of PAN-proteasomes
Structural highlights
Function[PAN_ARCFU] ATPase which is responsible for recognizing, binding, unfolding and translocation of substrate proteins into the archaeal 20S proteasome core particle. Is essential for opening the gate of the 20S proteasome via an interaction with its C-terminus, thereby allowing substrate entry and access to the site of proteolysis. Thus, the C-termini of the proteasomal ATPase function like a 'key in a lock' to induce gate opening and therefore regulate proteolysis. Unfolding activity requires energy from ATP hydrolysis, whereas ATP binding alone promotes ATPase-20S proteasome association which triggers gate opening, and supports translocation of unfolded substrates (Probable).[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedProteasomes occur in all three domains of life, and are the principal molecular machines for the regulated degradation of intracellular proteins. They play key roles in the maintenance of protein homeostasis, and control vital cellular processes. While the eukaryotic 26S proteasome is extensively characterized, its putative evolutionary precursor, the archaeal proteasome, remains poorly understood. The primordial archaeal proteasome consists of a 20S proteolytic core particle (CP), and an AAA-ATPase module. This minimal complex degrades protein unassisted by non-ATPase subunits that are present in a 26S proteasome regulatory particle (RP). Using cryo-EM single-particle analysis, we determined structures of the archaeal CP in complex with the AAA-ATPase PAN (proteasome-activating nucleotidase). Five conformational states were identified, elucidating the functional cycle of PAN, and its interaction with the CP. Coexisting nucleotide states, and correlated intersubunit signaling features, coordinate rotation of the PAN-ATPase staircase, and allosterically regulate N-domain motions and CP gate opening. These findings reveal the structural basis for a sequential around-the-ring ATPase cycle, which is likely conserved in AAA-ATPases. Cryo-EM structures of the archaeal PAN-proteasome reveal an around-the-ring ATPase cycle.,Majumder P, Rudack T, Beck F, Danev R, Pfeifer G, Nagy I, Baumeister W Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2018 Dec 17. pii: 1817752116. doi:, 10.1073/pnas.1817752116.
