Abstract
Proteinase yscE, the proteasome/multicatalytic—multifunctional proteinase of yeast had been shown to function in stress response and in the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins [(1991) EMBO J. 10, 555–562]. A well‐defined set of proteins degraded via ubiquitin‐mediated proteolysis are the substrates of the N‐end rule pathway [(1986) Science 234, 179–186; (1989) Science 243, 1576–1583]. We show that mutants defective in the chymotryptic activity of proteinase yscE fail to degrade substrates of the N‐end rule pathway. This gives further proof of the proteasome being a central catalyst in ubiquitin‐mediated proteolysis.Keywords
