1. Groll, M. et al. Structure of 20S proteasome from yeast at 2.4 Å resolution. Nature 386, 463-471 (1997). Despite being assembled from 14 unique polypeptides, the eukaryotic 20S proteasome is remarkably similar to its archaebacterial cousin. Furthermore, the closed state of the axial pore indicated that the 19S complex would regulate pore gating.
