“…An additional study published after the submission of this manuscript also localized PC1-NTR to the PM (63), and suggested a PC1-NT product not tethered to PC1-CT. Our results suggest that the PC1-PC2 complex formation is required for ER exit of both proteins and imply that PC2 plays a role in folding/quality control of PC1. This is consistent with the observation that PC1 structure is altered upon PC2 binding (64). The major conclusion from this study is that PC2 acts as an important chaperone for PC1 maturation and localization.…”
