UniProt functional annotation for P32628

UniProt code: P32628.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Plays a central role both in proteasomal degradation of misfolded proteins and DNA repair. Central component of a complex required to couple deglycosylation and proteasome-mediated degradation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum that are retrotranslocated in the cytosol. Involved in DNA excision repair. May play a part in DNA damage recognition and/or in altering chromatin structure to allow access by damage-processing enzymes.
 
Subunit: Interacts directly with PNG1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15351714, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15964983}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}.
Miscellaneous: Present with 10900 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
