Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway plays a central role in the degradation of short-lived regulatory proteins to control many cellular events. The Arabidopsis genome contains two genes, AtRPT2a and AtRPT2b, which encode paralog molecules of the RPT2 subunit of 19S proteasome. We demonstrated that mutation of the AtRPT2a gene causes a specific phenotype of enlarged leaves due to increased cell size in...
