RAR1 and SGT1 RAR1 & SGT1 interact with each other RAR1 & SGT1 interact with HSP90 HSP90 associates with R proteins SGT1 is a component of the SCF type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex (SKP/CULLEN/F-BOX) SGT1 interacts with SKP1 SGT1 and RAR1 also interact with the COP9 signalosome complex – also involved in protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway
