Abstract excerpt
Terminally misfolded proteins that accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are dislocated and targeted for ubiquitin-dependent destruction by the proteasome. UBC6e is a tail-anchored E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme that is part of a dislocation complex nucleated by the ER-resident protein SEL1L. Little is known about the turnover of tail-anchored ER proteins. We constructed a set of UBC6e transmembrane...
