Abstract excerpt
Molecular chaperones facilitate the folding of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of mammalian cells. The glycoprotein hormone chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit is a secretory protein whose folding in the ER has been demonstrated (Huth, J. R., Mountjoy, K., Perini, F., and Ruddon, R. W.(1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 8870-8879). Because folding of wild type hCG-beta subunit occurs in the ER with a t1/2 = 4-5...
