Abstract excerpt
The proteasome is the central regulatory protease of eukaryotic cells. Heteroheptameric alpha-subunit and beta-subunit rings stack to form the 20S proteasome, which associates with a 19S regulatory particle (RP). Here we show that two yeast proteins, Pba3 and Pba4, form a previously unidentified 20S proteasome-assembly chaperone. Pba3-Pba4 interacts genetically and physically with specific proteasomal alpha...
