Abstract excerpt
Yeast fatty acid synthase consists of two independent polypeptide strains, alpha and beta. The functional multienzyme complex, composed of six alpha- and six beta-subunits, is rather stable against proteolysis in vivo. Mutations in one of the subunits or deletion of one subunit lead to degradation of the nonmutated remaining fatty acid synthase protein. We show that the unassembled alpha-subunit of this enzyme is...
