Buffering of genetic dominance by allele-specific protein complex assembly.

Abstract excerpt

Protein complex assembly often occurs while subunits are being translated, resulting in complexes whose subunits were translated from the same mRNA in an allele-specific manner. It has thus been hypothesized that such cotranslational assembly may counter the assembly-mediated dominant-negative effect, whereby co-assembly of mutant and wild-type subunits "poisons" complex activity. Here, we show that...
