UniProt functional annotation for F1LMZ8

UniProt code: F1LMZ8.

Organism:		Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy:		Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
Function:		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. In the complex, PSMD11 is required for proteasome assembly. Plays a key role in increased proteasome activity in embryonic stem cells (ESCs): its high expression in ESCs promotes enhanced assembly of the 26S proteasome, followed by higher proteasome activity. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O00231}.
Subunit:		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 including PSMD11, a base containing 6 ATPases and few additional components. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O00231}.
Subcellular location:		Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm:		Phosphorylated by AMPK. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity:		Belongs to the proteasome subunit S9 family. {ECO:0000305}.
