Method Primary source abstract: "In this study, [investigators] investigated whether calnexin (CNX), calreticulin (CRT) and BiP, three of the main molecular chaperones present in the endoplasmic reticulum, interact with the TSHR [thyrotropin receptor] and what effects these interactions might have on the folding of the receptor. In the first set of experiments, [they] observed that in a K562 cell line expressing TSHR, about 50% of the receptor synthesized was degraded by the proteasome after ubiquitination." Primary source studied K562 cells - human immortalised myelogenous leukemia cells
Comments P.958 left column 3rd paragraph: "Fifty percent of thyrotropin receptor expressed from a transfected gene is destroyed rapidly by proteasomes [primary source], which also destroy 60% of transgene-expressed epitope-tagged delta-opioid receptor [BNID 113779]."
