CSP: macromolecular structures present in the cytosol and nucleus in cells; have multiple protease activities.,MSH: A large multisubunit complex that plays an important role in the degradation of most of the cytosolic and nuclear proteins in eukaryotic cells. It contains a 700-kDa catalytic sub-complex and two 700-kDa regulatory sub-complexes. The complex digests ubiquitinated proteins and protein activated via ornithine decarboxylase antizyme.,NCI: Proteolytic complexes, proteolytic core of the proteasome system, that degrade cytosolic and nuclear proteins are implicated in ATP dependent ubiquitin protein complex degradation and in antigen processing in antigen presenting cells. The 20S proteasome (700 kD), essential in ATP ubiquitin degradation pathway, has 13-15 subunits each of which has three or four different peptidase activities. The 20S proteasome interacts with additional subunits, PA700 and PA28, to form an ATP-dependent multicatalytic proteinase complex (MPC) involved in the degradation of ubiquiti
