Abstract
Substrates enter the cylindrical 20S proteasome through a gated channel that is regulated by the ATPases in the 19S regulatory particle in eukaryotes or the homologous PAN ATPase complex in archaea. These ATPases contain a conserved C-terminal hydrophobic-tyrosine-X (HbYX) motif that triggers gate opening upon ATP binding. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we identified the sites in the archaeal 20S where PAN's C-terminal residues bind and determined the structures of the gate in its closed and open forms. Peptides containing the HbYX motif bind to 20S in the pockets between neighboring alpha subunits where they interact with conserved residues required for gate opening. This interaction induces a rotation in the alpha subunits and displacement of a reverse-turn loop that stabilizes the open-gate conformation. This mechanism differs from that of PA26/28, which lacks the HbYX motif and does not cause alpha subunit rotation. These findings demonstrated how the ATPases' C termini function to facilitate substrate entry.

(A) (Left) Overlay of the α ring structures, before and after the binding of the gate-opening peptides. (Right) Enlarged view of the dashed area from the left. Pro17 is shifted because of the rotation in α subunit.
(B) (Left) Overlay of the structure of the α ring, before and after PA26 binding. (Right) Enlarged view of the dashed area. Pro17 is shifted by the activation loop of PA26 (data not shown). Notice that Pro17 in red and magenta structures is in a similar position.
