The yeast F1-ATPase beta subunit precursor contains functionally redundant mitochondrial protein import information [PDF]
The NH2 terminus of the yeast F1-ATPase beta subunit precursor directs the import of this protein into mitochondria. To define the functionally important components of this import signal, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a ...

Interaction between the assembly of the ribosomal subunits: Disruption of 40S ribosomal assembly causes accumulation of extra-ribosomal 60S ribosomal protein uL18/L5. [PDF]
Inhibition of the synthesis of an essential ribosomal protein (r-protein) abrogates the assembly of its cognate subunit, while assembly of the other subunit continues.

Guanine nucleotide-binding protein beta and gamma subunits form a tightly bound complex that can only be separated by denaturation. Assembly of beta and gamma subunits is a complicated process. The beta 1 and gamma 2 subunits can be synthesized in vitro in rabbit reticulocyte lysate and then assembled into dimers, but beta 1 cannot form beta gamma ...

How to change the oligomeric state of a circular protein assembly: switch from 11-subunit to 12-subunit TRAP suggests a general mechanism. [PDF]
Many critical cellular functions are performed by multisubunit circular protein oligomers whose internal geometry has evolved to meet functional requirements.

Subunit composition of minK potassium channels. [PDF]
Expression of minK protein in Xenopus oocytes induces a slowly activating, voltage-dependent, potassium-selective current. Point mutations in minK that alter current gating kinetics, ion selectivity, pharmacology, and response to protein kinase C all ...

Subunit Exchange in Protein Complexes
Over the past 50 years, protein complexes have been studied with techniques such as X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy, generating images which although detailed are static and homogeneous. More recently, limited application of in vivo fluorescence and other techniques has revealed that many complexes previously thought stable and ...

The Est3 protein is a subunit of yeast telomerase [PDF]
EST1, EST2, EST3 and TLC1 function in a single pathway for telomere replication in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1] [2], as would be expected if these genes all encode components of the same complex. Est2p, the reverse transcriptase protein subunit, and TLC1, the templating RNA, are subunits of the catalytic core of yeast telomerase [3] [4] [5 ...
