26S proteasome in Drosophila melanogaster
The 26S proteasome degrades proteins tagged with polyubiquitin chains. Its 20S core particle is a barrel of four stacked heptameric rings, two outer rings of alpha subunits that gate substrate entry and two inner rings of beta subunits, three of which (beta1, beta2 and beta5) are N-terminal threonine proteases with caspase-like, trypsin-like and chymotrypsin-like specificities. The 19S regulatory particle caps the core. Its base contains six AAA+ ATPases (Rpt1-Rpt6) that unfold substrates and open the core gate, together with the scaffolds Rpn1 and Rpn2. Ubiquitin receptors (Rpn10 and Rpn13) bind ubiquitylated substrates, the lid metalloprotease Rpn11 removes ubiquitin chains before degradation, and Uch-L5 bound to Rpn13 trims chains. Drosophila has a testis-specific 26S proteasome in which paralogs replace several alpha, beta, Rpt, Rpn and Uch-L5 subunits.
Somatic and testis-specific variants follow the FlyBase groups PSM26S and PSM26S-T; subunits shared by both appear in each variant. Prosalpha1R is a member of both FlyBase variant groups. The base, lid and ubiquitin-receptor split follows the conserved eukaryotic 19S organisation; Rpn10 and Rpn13 are modelled separately because their placement between base and lid is not sharply defined. Catalytic activity is asserted only for the canonical beta1 (Prosbeta1), beta2 (Prosbeta2) and beta5 (Prosbeta5) subunits; whether the testis paralogs Prosbeta2R1, Prosbeta2R2, Prosbeta5R1 and Prosbeta5R2 keep catalytic activity is not asserted. Likewise ATPase and deubiquitinase activities are not asserted for the testis paralogs Rpt3R, Rpt4R, Rpt6R and Uch-L5R. FlyBase groups realized by this module: PSM (FBgg0000208), PSM-V (FBgg0001846). Subgroups folded into it: T1P, PSM20S, PSM19S, PSM20SA, PSM20SB, PSM20SB-NC, RPN, RPT, PSM26S-T, PSM26S. Participants were generated from the FlyBase gene-group membership and mapped to UniProtKB by projects/FLYBASE_GENE_GROUPS/generate_modules.py from module_specs/dmel_proteasome.yaml. None of the member genes has a gene review in this repository yet.

Function consistency and core coverage
0 gene-function check(s) reflected in core functions · 0 conflict(s) · 16 evidence or coverage gap(s) (16 comparison(s))
Retained noncore functions are reported separately; they do not require promotion to core functions. Support from representative genes does not establish conservation across the whole family. Missing reviews or identifiers leave a claim unverified.
