Summary of cleavage motifs. Amino acid preferences at positions flanking the cleavages performed by constitutive (c20S) or immunoproteasomes (i20S) are indicated by bars pointing up (enriched) or down (decreased). Amino acid frequencies around cleavage sites were compared with amino acid frequencies in enolase. i20S versus c20S indicates a comparison of amino acid preferences between both types of proteasomes. Amino acid frequencies around cleavage sites were compared with each other. Bars pointing up indicate a i20S preference, bars pointing down indicate a c20S preference. Amino acids are shown in one-letter code by capital letters, and amino acid characteristics are indicated by small letters. A decrease in preferences for hydrophobic and bulky amino acids also indicates an increase in preferences for polar and small amino acids, respectively and vice versa. h, hydrophobic; f, flexible; b, bulky.
