Abstract excerpt
Work in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has shown that Atp12p binds to unassembled alpha subunits of F(1) and in so doing prevents the alpha subunit from associating with itself in non-productive complexes during assembly of the F(1) moiety of the mitochondrial ATP synthase. We have developed a method to prepare recombinant Atp12p after expression of its human cDNA in bacterial cells. The molecular chaperone activity of...
