The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) uses various mechanisms to ensure that only properly folded proteins enter the secretory pathway. For proteins that oligomerize in the ER, the proper tertiary and quaternary structures must be achieved before their release. Although some proteins fold before oligomeriz

RNAP-I, an aspartic proteinase from a filamentous fungus Rhizopus niveus, is secreted very efficiently in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is synthesized first as a precursor form with signal sequence and prosequence in its amino-terminus. Our previous study indicated that the prosequence of RNAP-I had
## Abstract Increased awareness about the importance of protein folding and trafficking to the etiology of gainβofβfunction diseases has driven extensive efforts to understand the cell and molecular biology underlying the life cycle of normal secretory pathway proteins and the detrimental effects o
We have identified a novel gene (the NSP gene) encoding 3 transcripts and coding for 3 neuroendocrine-specific proteins (NSPs), by screening a cDNA expression library of the small-cell lung-cancer (SCLC) cell line NCI-H82 with the cluster-10 lung-cancer antibodies RNLZ and RNL3. The 3 transcripts co
## Abstract In this study, freeβenergy function (FEF) for discriminating the native fold of a protein from misfolded decoys was investigated. It is a physicsβbased function using an allβatom model, which comprises the hydration entropy (HE) and the total dehydration penalty (TDP). The HE is calcula
