Conserved Mitotic Phosphorylation of a Proteasome Subunit Regulates Cell Proliferation

Reversible phosphorylation has emerged as an important mechanism for regulating proteasome function in various physiological processes. Essentially all proteasome phosphorylations characterized thus far occur on proteasome holoenzyme or subcomplexes to regulate substrate degradation. Here, we report...
