    Background
    PSMD2 (also known as Rpn1) is a non-ATPase subunit of the 19S regulatory particle (RP) lid within the 26S proteasome, playing a central scaffolding and ubiquitin receptor docking role essential for ATP- and ubiquitin-dependent degradation of misfolded proteins and regulatory factors, thereby ensuring cellular proteostasis. This large (~950 amino acids) protein contains PCI (proteasome-COP9 initiation) and 26S proteasome non-ATPase regulatory subunit domains, which together form a conformationally flexible scaffold at the periphery of the RP. PSMD2 features multiple PCI/MPN-binding surfaces that facilitate docking of ubiquitin shuttle proteins (such as Rad23 and Dsk2 via their UBL domains) and ubiquitin receptors (Rpn10 and Rpn13), effectively positioning ubiquitinated substrates for handoff to the ATPase base ring. PSMD2 coordinates the recognition of ubiquitin chains and their remodeling by lid-associated deubiquitinases (DUBs) like Rpn11, which, in concert with the AAA-ATPase ring (Rpt1-6), unfolds protein substrates and directs them through the gated 20S core β-subunits for proteolysis. As a result, the 26S proteasome processes approximately 70% of intracellular proteins, including key regulators of the cell cycle, apoptosis, and MHC class I antigen presentation. PSMD2 directly interacts with the intracellular domain of the TNF receptor, thereby linking proteasomal activity to the TNF/NF-κB signaling axis and contributing to immune regulation and inflammation. PSMD2 overexpression is associated with poor outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, where it drives immune checkpoint modulation and resistance to therapy; conversely, PSMD2 inhibition selectively impairs proteasome chymotrypsin-like activity, inducing apoptosis in tumor cells while largely sparing healthy tissue.
