The biogenesis of eukaryotic 20S proteasomes requires the accurate assembly of 14 closely related protein subunits and occurs in a complex series of chaperone-dependent steps. Important insights into this pathway are now provided by the high-resolution cryo-EM structures of two 20S proteasome assembly intermediates.
