BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF RECOMBINANT YEAST PROTEASOME MATURATION FACTOR UMP1
Protein degradation is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis.The proteasome is the centralenzyme responsible for non-lysosomal protein degradation in eukaryotic cells.Although proteasome assembly is not yet completelyunderstood, a number of cofactors required for proper Tools assembly and maturation have been identified.Ump1 is a short-liv
