Proteasomes are complexes that degrade proteins rather than nucleic acids. For cleavage of nucleic acids, you’d want to look at endonuclease or exonucleases, restriction enzymes. Proteasomes typically are involved in degrading misfolded proteins (look into prions!), or proteins that are no longer needed in the cell. Just a minor correction, hope it helped. :3
