Abstract excerpt
Multisubunit protein complexes are essential for cellular function. Genetic analysis of essential processes requires special tools, among which temperature-sensitive (Ts) mutants have historically been crucial. Many researchers assume that the effect of temperature on such mutants is to drive their proteolytic destruction. In fact, degradation-mediated elimination of mutant proteins likely explains only a...
