a

Molecular weights are presented only for the yeast RNA and protein subunits. pIs are presented only for the yeast protein subunits.

b

RPP29 is also known as hPOP4 (87).

c

POP7 is also known as RPP2 (84).

d

The relationship of these human proteins to the yeast protein subunits is currently unclear.
