Protein degradation is an essential component of regulation because proteins can become misfolded, damaged, or unnecessary. Proteasomes and their homologues vary greatly in complexity: from HslV (heat shock locus v), which is encoded by 1 gene in bacteria, to the eukaryotic 20S proteasome, which is encoded by more than 14 genes. Despite this variation in complexity, all the proteasomes are composed of homologous subunits.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/node/8146" class="og_links">Structural Bioinformatics</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.scivee.tv/node/6832">read more</a></p> 20S proteasome Anbu BPH HslV Novel proteasomes phylogeny Universal Science Journal of Molecular Evolution Structural Bioinformatics Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:41:39 -0700 drnknmstrr 6832 at http://www.scivee.tv
