Abstract excerpt
These studies were designed to characterize ubiquitination of the G protein-coupled TRH receptor (TRHR). TRHRs and ubiquitin coprecipitated with antibodies to either receptor or ubiquitin in Chinese hamster ovary or pituitary GHFT cells. Inhibition of the proteasome with MG-132 resulted in an accumulation of total TRHRs and the appearance of a small amount of cytosolic receptor. MG-132 caused an increase in newly...
