The PAQosome, an R2TP-Based Chaperone for Quaternary Structure Formation

Abstract

The Rvb1-Rvb2-Tah1-Pih1/prefoldin-like (R2TP/PFDL) complex is a unique chaperone that provides a platform for the assembly and maturation of many key multiprotein complexes in mammalian cells. Here, we propose to rename R2TP/PFDL as PAQosome (particle for arrangement of quaternary structure) to more accurately represent its unique function.

Keywords: R2TP; complex assembly; molecular chaperone; prefoldin; quaternary structure.
