Plants utilize the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) to orchestrate numerous essential cellular processes, including the rapid responses required to cope with abiotic and biotic stresses. The 26S proteasome serves as the central catalytic component of the UPS that allows for the proteolytic degradation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins in a highly specific manner. Despite the increasing number of studies employing cell-free degradation assays to dissect the pathways and target substrates of the UPS, the precise extraction methods of highly potent tissues remain unexplored. Here, we utilize a fluorogenic reporting assay using two extraction methods to survey proteasomal activity in different Arabidopsis thaliana tissues. This study provides new insights into the enrichment of activity and varied presence of proteasomes in specific plant tissues.
