LITERATURE

SPT is a heterodimer of 2 highly-related subunits, LCB1 and LCB2, existing in two isozyme forms LCB2a and LCB2b, associated with a third small activating subunit, either protein ssSPTa and protein ssSPTb, the proteins have a conserved hydrophobic central domain, reside in the membrane and interact with both hLCB1 and hLCB2 subunits, overview,protein ssSPTa and protein ssSPTb are required for maximal enzyme activity.

results show that functional SPT is not a dimer, but a higher organized complex, composed of three distinct subunits (SPTLC1, SPTLC2 and SPTLC3) with a molecular mass of 480 kDa (gel filtration). The stoichiometry of SPTLC2 and SPTLC3 in this complex is not to be fixed and is changed dynamically in dependence of the tissue specific SPTLC2 and SPTLC3 expression levels. A model of an octameric SPT structure is proposed. By Blue-native-PAGE experiments it is shown that all three SPT subunits (SPTLC1-3) are co-localized within a single SPT complex
