Abstract excerpt
Tetrameric assembly of channel subunits in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is essential for surface expression and function of K+ channels, but the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains unclear. In this study, we found through genetic screening that ER-located J-domain-containing chaperone proteins (J-proteins) are critical for the biogenesis and physiological function of ether-a-go-go-related gene...
