The 26S proteasome executes targeted protein degradation, a process essential for
eukaryotic cells. It consists of proteolytic and regulatory subcomplexes, named CP and
RP, respectively. The latter provides poly-ubiquitin removal and substrate unfolding
activities. In the present thesis crystal structures of the Rpn6 subunit and the
Rpn8-Rpn11 heterodimer complex and their localization in the holocomplex are reported,
which provided crucial insights into the structure and function of the RP.
