  • That Vpu evolved over the space of a decade, when viral numbers were low, into a viroporin, a multisubunit structure with a function previously absent from HIV-1, was an obvious key challenge to your assertions.

  • Fellows J, Li Y, de Bizemont T, Dirac AMG, et al. (1999) Elongator, a multisubunit component of a novel RNA polymerase II holoenzyme for transcriptional elongation.

  • Transcription, the process of reading DNA to make RNA (which is in turn translated into proteins by ribosomes) is a fundamental process common to all organisms, and is carried out by the enzyme multisubunit RNA polymerase (RNAP).

  • Promotion of UvrD-catalyzed unwinding of nicked duplexes by UvrAB may also explain the need for UvrAB and UvrD in Okazaki fragment processing in cells lacking DNA polymerase I. More generally, these data support the idea that helicase activity is regulated in vivo, with helicases acting as part of multisubunit complexes rather than in isolation.

  • HOPS is a multisubunit protein with direct affinities for SNAREs, vacuolar lipids, and the GTP-bound form of Ypt7p; each of these affinities contributes to HOPS association with the organelle.

  • The advantage of three-color FRET cell microscopy applied to multisubunit complexes is that the method simultaneously detects the relative arrangement of the three different fluorophores (C, V and R) at a distance ≤ 2×

  • LeMieux J, Hava DL, Basset A, Camilli A (2006) RrgA and RrgB are components of a multisubunit pilus encoded by the Streptococcus pneumoniae rlrA pathogenicity islet.
