Abstract excerpt
Aberrant polypeptides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are retro-translocated to the cytoplasm and degraded by the 26S proteasome via ER-associated degradation (ERAD). To begin to resolve the requirements for the retro-translocation and degradation steps during ERAD, a cell-free assay was used to investigate the contributions of specific factors in the yeast cytosol and in ER-derived microsomes during the ERAD...
