The ERAD system is restricted by elevated ceramides [PDF]
Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are removed through a process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). ERAD occurs through an integral membrane protein quality control system that recognizes substrates, retrotranslocates the ...

Usa1 protein facilitates substrate ubiquitylation through two separate domains. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Defects in protein folding are recognized as the root of many neurodegenerative disorders. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), secretory proteins are subjected to a stringent quality control process to eliminate misfolded proteins by the ER ...

Eeyarestatin 1 interferes with both retrograde and anterograde intracellular trafficking pathways [PDF]
Background: The small molecule Eeyarestatin I (ESI) inhibits the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-cytosol dislocation and subsequent degradation of ERAD (ER associated protein degradation) substrates.

Control of Protein Homeostasis in the Early Secretory Pathway: Current Status and Challenges
: Discrimination between properly folded proteins and those that do not reach this state is necessary for cells to achieve functionality. Eukaryotic cells have evolved several mechanisms to ensure secretory protein quality control, which allows ...

Cytosolic entry of Shiga-like toxin A chain from the yeast endoplasmic reticulum requires catalytically active Hrd1p [PDF]
Background Escherichia coli Shiga-like toxin 1 normally traffics to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in sensitive mammalian cells from where the catalytic A chain (SLTxA1) dislocates to the cytosol to inactivate ribosomes.

Regulation of inner nuclear membrane associated protein degradation
The nucleus is enclosed by a double-membrane structure, the nuclear envelope, which separates the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm. The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas the inner nuclear membrane (INM) is a ...

COP I and II dependent trafficking controls ER-associated degradation in mammalian cells
Summary: Misfolded proteins and components of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) quality control and ER associated degradation (ERAD) machineries concentrate in mammalian cells in the pericentriolar ER-derived quality control compartment (ERQC), suggesting ...

Augmented ERAD (ER-associated degradation) activity in chondrocytes is necessary for cartilage development and maintenance [PDF]
Chondrocytes secrete massive extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that are produced, folded, and modified in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Thus, the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) complex???which removes misfolded and unfolded proteins to maintain ...

Effect of Sec61 interaction with Mpd1 on endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation.
Proteins that misfold in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are transported back to the cytosol for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The Sec61 channel is one of the candidates for the retrograde transport conduit.
