Abstract
Allostery—regulation at distant sites is a key concept in biology. The proteasome exhibits multiple forms of allosteric regulation. This regulatory communication can span a distance exceeding 100 Ångstroms and can modulate interactions between the two major proteasome modules: its core particle and regulatory complexes. Allostery can further influence the assembly of the core particle with regulatory particles. In this focused review, known and postulated interactions between these proteasome modules are described. Allostery may explain how cells build and maintain diverse populations of proteasome assemblies and can provide opportunities for therapeutic interventions.
