Abstract
⺠AAA-ATPases, generators of mechanical force, are key players in protein degradation throughout evolution. ⺠Archaeal PAN homo-hexameric ring provides insights into structure and function of eukaryotic hetero-hexameric Rpt ring. ⺠Exciting findings show the role of the C-termini of proteasomal AAA-ATPases in opening the proteolytic chamber 'gate'. ⺠Novel discoveries on assembly pathways lead to revised spatial arrangement of eukaryotic hetero-hexameric Rpt ring. ⺠Functional studies emphasize the unique contribution of each individual Rpt subunit to various cellular processes.
