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 subjected to ERAD. A subset of misfolded PMA1 mutants exhibits a dominant negative effect on yeast growth since, when co-expressed with the wild type allele,...
