Figures & data
Figure 1. The 20S proteasome is capable of cleaving substrates leading to either full proteolysis of the unfolded substrate into small peptides, or to selective proteolysis of a specific disordered region within the polypeptide chain. The latter may lead to the generation of a degradation product that retains structural elements and has a differential functional property.
