Role of Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase [DMPK] in Glucose Homeostasis and Muscle Insulin Action [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3′-unstranslated region of the DMPK gene, which encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase. One of the common clinical features of DM1 patients is insulin resistance, which has been associated

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common heart muscle disorder that frequently leads to heart failure, arrhythmias, and death. While DCM is often heritable, disease-causing mutations are identified in only ~30% of cases.

Protein homeostasis networks in physiology and disease [PDF]
Although most text books of biochemistry describe the process of protein folding to a three dimensional native state as an intrinsic property of the primary sequence, it is becoming increasingly clear that this process can go wrong in an almost infinite number of ways.

Protein Homeostasis at the Plasma Membrane
The plasma membrane (PM) and endocytic protein quality control (QC) in conjunction with the endosomal sorting machinery either repairs or targets conformationally damaged membrane proteins for lysosomal/vacuolar degradation. Here, we provide an overview of emerging aspects of the underlying mechanisms of PM QC that fulfill a critical role in preserving

Protein Homeostasis, Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one key medical challenge of the aging society and despite a great amount of effort and a huge collection of acquired data on molecular mechanisms that are associated with the onset and progression of this devastating disorder, no causal therapy is in sight.

Hepatocyte-specific deletion of peroxisomal protein PEX13 results in disrupted iron homeostasis
Peroxisomes are organelles, abundant in the liver, involved in a variety of cellular functions, including fatty acid metabolism, plasmalogen synthesis and metabolism of reactive oxygen species.

Regulation of Age-Related Protein Toxicity
Proteome damage plays a major role in aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Under healthy conditions, molecular quality control mechanisms prevent toxic protein misfolding and aggregation.

Protein folding, protein homeostasis, and cancer [PDF]
Proteins fold into their functional 3-dimensional structures from a linear amino acid sequence. In vitro this process is spontaneous; while in vivo it is orchestrated by a specialized set of proteins, called chaperones. Protein folding is an ongoing cellular process, as cellular proteins constantly undergo synthesis and degradation. Here emerging links

Aneuploidy: implications for protein homeostasis and disease [PDF]
It has long been appreciated that aneuploidy – in which cells possess a karyotype that is not a multiple of the haploid complement – has a substantial impact on human health, but its effects at the subcellular level have only recently become a focus of investigation.
