In situ structural studies of tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII) reveal spatial association with proteasomes

Abstract excerpt

Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII) is a eukaryotic protease acting downstream of the 26S proteasome; it removes tripeptides from the degradation products released by the proteasome. Structural studies in vitro have revealed the basic architecture of TPPII, a two-stranded linear polymer that assembles to form a spindle-shaped complex of ∼6 MDa. Dependent on protein concentration, TPPII has a distinct tendency for...
