  • i) RPSA binds aflatoxin B1 both in vivo and in vitro. (wikipedia.org)
  • The ternary complex containing UFD1L, VCP and NPLOC4 binds ubiquitinated proteins and is necessary for the export of misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytoplasm, where they are degraded by the proteasome. (nih.gov)
  • and p40 ribosome-associated protein. (wikipedia.org)
  • ii) Serial deletions of RPSA have shown that the segment of residues 236-262, included in the C-domain, is involved in the interaction between RPSA and the 40S subunit of ribosome. (wikipedia.org)
