Abstract excerpt
Misfolded proteins are usually arrested in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and degraded by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery. Several mutant alleles of PMA1, the gene coding for the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, render misfolded proteins that are retained in the ER and degraded by ERAD. A subset of misfolded PMA1 mutants exhibit a dominant negative effect on yeast growth since, when coexpressed with...
