Other Details 50,092 particles aligning to the complex were used for Non Uniform refinement with an imposed C7 symmetry. This yielded the consensus alignment at 3.23 Angstrom, which served as a base for the focused refinements used to make this composite map. Upon reconstruction with imposed C7 symmetry, the two proteasome Beta1-2 subunits of the 20S became merged together. We noticed that the same was happening when the 20S proteasome was reconstructed without an imposed symmetry, suggesting a random distribution of the two subunit types in the Beta rings. Due to the high degree of similarity between the two proteins (>70 percent sequence identity) and the small number of particles, we opted for not continuing with further 3D classification.

Fitting Procedure ?
Details Model building done in coot, refinement in Phenix. No models built for the merged Beta 1-2 chains of the 20S proteasome, due to the identical folding of the two proteins and the very small (single side chains) differences between the two subunits, which prevented effective 3D classification with the small number of particles left. IMPORTANT: the outlier Y204 nonplanar bond was modelled as such based on a higher resolution X-ray model, to be deposited soon.
