    Analysis of CFTR Folding and Degradation in Transiently Transfected Cells

    Misfolding and premature degradation of F508del-CFTR is the major cause of cystic fibrosis. Components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system function on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum to select misfolde...

    Reconstitution of CHIP E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Activity

    CHIP, the carboxyl-terminus of Hsp70 interacting protein, is both an E3 ubiquitin ligase and an Hsp70 co-chaperone and is implicated in the degradation of cytosolic quality control and numerous disease substra...

    Do Hsp40s Act as Chaperones or Co-Chaperones?

    The Hsp70 family plays an essential role in cellular protein metabolism by acting as a polypeptide binding and release factor that interacts with nonnative regions of proteins at different stages o...

    Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator as a Model Substrate to Study Endoplasmic Reticulum Protein Quality Control in Mammalian Cells

    Components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system function on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to select misfolded proteins for degradation. Herein we describe methods that allow for the study of the ...
