The use of compost, manure mulch and other organic fertilizers yields a higher organic content of soils on organic farms and helps limit soil degradation and erosion.

An alternative form of regulatory subunit called the 11S particle can associate with the core in essentially the same manner as the 19S particle ; the 11S may play a role in degradation of foreign peptides such as those produced after infection by a virus.

20S proteasomes can also associate with a second type of regulatory particle, the 11S regulatory particle, a heptameric structure that does not contain any ATPases and can promote the degradation of short peptides but not of complete proteins.

These peptides are products of proteasomal degradation of proteins originated by the invading pathogen.

Subclass IIIa comprises those peptides that kill bacterial cells by cell-wall degradation, thus causing cell lysis.
