Abstract excerpt
Calnexin is a molecular chaperone playing key roles in protein folding and the quality control of this process in the endoplasmic reticulum. We, and others, have previously demonstrated that cnx1(+), the gene encoding the calnexin homologue in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is essential for viability. We show that a particular cnx1 mutant induces a novel mechanism allowing the survival of S. pombe cells in the...
