Protein malfunction is typically caused by abiotic stressors. To ensure cell survival during
conditions of stress, it is important for plant cells to maintain proteins in their respective …

The proteasome is a large multisubunit complex that plays a crucial role in the removal of
damaged or selective ubiquitinated proteins, thereby allowing quality control of cellular …

Plant cells contain a mixture of 26S and 20S proteasomes that mediate ubiquitin dependent
and ubiquitin independent proteolysis, respectively. The 26S proteasome contains the 20S …

Background The 26S proteasome, canonically composed of multi-subunit 19S regulatory
(RP) and 20S core (CP) particles, is crucial for cellular proteostasis. Proteasomes are re …

Proteasomes are large multisubunit, multicatalytic proteases responsible for most of the
cytosolic and nuclear protein degradation, and their structure and functions are conserved in …

The proteasome plays essential roles in nearly all biological processes in plant defense and
development, yet simple methods for displaying proteasome activities in extracts and living …

Proteotoxic stress, which is generated by the accumulation of unfolded or aberrant proteins
due to environmental or cellular perturbations, can be mitigated by several mechanisms …

Selective proteolysis in plants is largely mediated by the ubiquitin (Ub)/proteasome system
in which substrates, marked by the covalent attachment of Ub, are degraded by the 26 S …

Environmental stress conditions such as high light, extreme temperatures, salinity or drought
trigger oxidative stress and eventually protein misfolding in plants. In chloroplasts …

Proteolysis is essential for many aspects of plant physiology and development. It is
responsible for cellular housekeeping and the stress response by removing …
