Popis: The 20S proteasome is a catalytic core of the 26S proteasome, a central enzyme in the degradation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins. It is composed of 14 distinct gene products that form four stacked rings of seven subunits each, alpha(1-7)beta(1-7)beta(1-7)alpha(1-7). It is reported that the biogenesis of mammalian 20S proteasomes is assisted by proteasome-specific chaperones, named PAC1, PAC2, and hUmp1, but the details are still unknown. Here, we report the identification of a chaperone, designated PAC3, as a component of alpha rings. Although it can intrinsically bind directly to both alpha and beta subunits, PAC3 dissociates before the formation of half-proteasomes, a process coupled with the recruitment of beta subunits and hUmp1. Knockdown of PAC3 impaired alpha ring formation. Further, PAC1/2/3 triple knockdown resulted in the accumulation of disorganized half-proteasomes that are incompetent for dimerization. Our results describe a cooperative system of multiple chaperones involved in the correct assembly of mammalian 20S proteasomes.
