DESCRIPTION

Also known as PRS7_HUMAN, PSMC2, MSS1. Component of the 26S proteasome, a multiprotein complex involved in the ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated proteins. This complex plays a key role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis by removing misfolded or damaged proteins, which could impair cellular functions, and by removing proteins whose functions are no longer required. Therefore, the proteasome participates in numerous cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, apoptosis, or DNA damage repair. PSMC2 belongs to the heterohexameric ring of AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) proteins that unfolds ubiquitinated target proteins that are concurrently translocated into a proteolytic chamber and degraded into peptides. Component of the 19S proteasome regulatory particle complex. The 26S proteasome consists of a 20S core particle (CP) and two 19S regulatory subunits (RP). The regulatory particle is made of a lid composed of 9 subunits, a base containing 6 ATPases including PSMC2 and few additional components (PubMed:27428775, PubMed:27342858). Interacts with NDC80/HEC; this interaction is detected only during M phase. Interacts and SQSTM1 (PubMed:15340068). Interacts with PAAF1 (PubMed:15831487). Directly interacts with TRIM5 (PubMed:22078707).
