In this image, the proteasome—a cell’s protein disposal system—is shown in tan and grey. A protein called midnolin (in red) connects with two key parts of the proteasome, RPN1 (blue) and RPN11 (green), to help deliver damaged or unwanted proteins for breakdown. This interaction helps keep cells healthy by clearing out the cellular junk. [Image: UTSW]
