Abstract excerpt
We examined interactions between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones calnexin (CN), ERp57, and immunological heavy chain-binding protein (BiP) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits. The three chaperones rapidly associate with newly synthesized nAChR subunits. Interactions between nAChR subunits and ERp57 occur via transient intermolecular disulfide bonds and do not require subunit N-linked...
