These results suggest that PA28γ binding is important in regulating 20S proteasome activity, which in turn regulates levels of the critical nCoV N nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2, furthering our understanding of the pathogenesis of COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (hereafter, referred to as nCoV N) accounts for the largest proportion of viral structure proteins and is the most abundant protein in virus-infected cells. PA28γ could be critical for degrading the SARS-CoV-19 nCoV N protein in the nucleus as part of the 20S proteasome, which acts to degrade proteins in a ubiquitin-independent manner, such as seen in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein [11] .
