Subunits

Subunits Comment Organism
heterotrimer 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.
