Chemical chaperones exceed the chaperone effects of RIC-3 in promoting assembly of functional α7 AChRs.

Chemical chaperones exceed the chaperone effects of RIC-3 in promoting assembly of functional α7 AChRs.

Functional α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) do not assemble efficiently in cells transfected with α7 subunits unless the cells are also transfected with the chaperone protein RIC-3. Despite the presence of RIC-3, large amounts of these subunits remain improperly assembled. Thus, addition...
