Structural highlights

Function

[PSA_THEAC] Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation. The T.acidophilum proteasome is able to cleave oligopeptides after Tyr, Leu, Phe, and to a lesser extent after Glu and Arg. Thus, displays chymotrypsin-like activity and low level of caspase-like and trypsin-like activities.^[1] [PSB_THEAC] Component of the proteasome core, a large protease complex with broad specificity involved in protein degradation.
