Sequences of the two different subunits are closely related to those of the Thermoplasma proteasome and indicate a wider distribution of the proteasome among archaea than was previously assumed.

The quarternary structure, as determined by electron microscopy, and the catalytic mechanism, as deduced from the sequence, seem to be conserved throughout the three Urkingdoms.
