Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic proteasome assembly is assisted by multiple dedicated chaperones. In yeast, formation of the heteroheptameric ring composed of α1-α7 subunits is promoted by the heterodimeric chaperone Pba3-Pba4. Here we reveal that in the absence of this dimeric chaperone, α2 replaces α4 during α-ring assembly, thereby giving rise to a non-productive complex that lacks α4, β1, β5, β6, and β7 subunits and aggregates of...
