High impact information on RPT2

  • Using a mutation in one of the ATPase subunits of the proteasome, RPT2, we demonstrate that Ime1, amino acids 270 to 360, is degraded by the 26S proteasome [1].
  • Expression of yeast RPT2 gene in T. brucei Rpt2-deficient cells could not rescue the lethal phenotype, thus confirming the incompatibility between the two Rpt2s [2].
  • In particular, mutations in one ATPase gene, RPT2, result in an unexpected defect in peptide hydrolysis by the core particle [3].
