Abstract excerpt
Proteinase yscE is the yeast equivalent of the proteasome, a multicatalytic-multifunctional proteinase found in higher eukaryotic cells. We have isolated three mutants affecting the proteolytic activity of proteinase yscE. The mutants show a specific reduction in the activity of the complex against peptide substrates with hydrophobic amino acids at the cleavage site and define two complementation groups, PRE1 and...
