Abstract excerpt
The nascent polypeptide-associated complex (NAC) is a peripheral component of cytoplasmic ribosomes, and interacts with nascent chains as they leave the ribosome. Yeast mutants lacking NAC translate polypeptides normally, but have fewer ribosomes associated with the mitochondrial surface. The mutants lacking NAC suffer mitochondrial defects and have decreased levels of proteins like fumarase, normally targeted to...
