Mutations at the hydrophobic core affect Hal3 trimer stability, reducing its Ppz1 inhibitory capacity but not its PPCDC moonlighting function

Abstract S. cerevisiae Hal3 (ScHal3) is a moonlighting protein that, is in its monomeric state, regulates the Ser/Thr protein phosphatase Ppz1, but also joins ScCab3 (and in some instances the Hal3 paralog Vhs3) to form an unusual heterotrimeric phosphopantothenoylcysteine decarboxylase (PPCDC) enzy...
