Unveiling the Role of Sorghum RPAP3 in the Function of R2TP Complex: Insights into Protein Assembly in Plants.

The chaperone R2TP has multiple subunits that assist in the proper folding, assembly, and stabilization of various protein complexes in cells and its study can offer valuable insights into the regulation and maintenance of protein assemblies in plant systems. The 'T' component of R2TP is Tah1 in yeast, consisting of 111 residues, while its counterpart in humans is RPAP3, with 665 residues. RPAP3 acts as a co-chaperone of Hsp90 and facilitates interactions between RUVBL proteins and other complex components, enhancing the recruitment of client proteins by the R2TP complex.
