Quality Control of Protein Complex Assembly by a Transmembrane Recognition Factor.

abstract：:Calreticulin and calnexin are homologous lectins that serve as molecular chaperones for glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotic cells. Here we show that calreticulin depletion specifically accelerates the maturation of cellular and viral glycoproteins with a modest decrease in folding efficiency. Caln...

Using a quantitative real-time PCR assay, we show that nonhomologous end joining between a telomere and an inducible DSB was undetectable in wild-type cells, but occurred within a few hours of DSB induction in approximately 1/2000 genomes ...
