The 20S proteasome is the proteolytic complex that is responsible for degrading short-lived and abnormal proteins, especially those targeted by ubiquitin conjugation. The complex exists, as a hollow cylinder shaped structure comprised of four stacked rings. The outer rings contain 7 alpha subunits and the inner rings contain 7 beta subunits. In this study, we report the amino acid sequence of the alpha 5 subunit (PAE) in soybean (Gylcine max) based on the cDNA sequence. The amino acid sequence identity is 96% with the Arabidops alpha 5 subunit and 95% with the rice alpha 5 subunit. The highly conserved sequence homology suggests there is an important biological role for this proteasome.
