Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic proteasomes have been reported to cleave only once within polyglutamine tracts and then only after the N-terminal glutamine (Venkatraman, P., Wetzel, R., Tanaka, M., Nukina, N., and Goldberg, A. L. (2004) Mol. Cell 14, 95-104). We have obtained results that directly conflict with that report. In the presence of the proteasome activator PA28gamma(K188E) human red cell proteasomes progressively degraded...
