Protein Quality Control in the Bacterial Periplasm
Protein quality control involves sensing and treatment of defective or incomplete protein structures. Misfolded or mislocalized proteins trigger dedicated signal transduction cascades that upregulate the production of protein quality-control factors ...

Nucleolus: A Protein Quality Control Compartment
Frottin et al. uncovered a role for the nucleolus as a key quality control compartment that regulates misfolded nuclear proteins. This nonmembrane compartment achieves this by forming liquid-like protein condensates that aid protein refolding in a heat ...

Protein quality control at the mitochondrion
Mitochondria are essential constituents of a eukaryotic cell by supplying ATP and contributing to many mayor metabolic processes. As endosymbiotic organelles, they represent a cellular subcompartment exhibiting many autonomous functions, most importantly

Mitochondrial protein synthesis quality control
Human mitochondrial DNA is one of the most simplified cellular genomes and facilitates compartmentalized gene expression. Within the organelle, there is no physical barrier to separate transcription and translation, nor is there evidence that quality ...

Molecular Chaperones and Protein Quality Control
In living cells, both newly made and preexisting polypeptide chains are at constant risk for misfolding and aggregation. In accordance with the wide diversity of misfolded forms, elaborate quality-control strategies have evolved to counter these ...

How do protein aggregates escape quality control in neurodegeneration? [PDF]
Protein aggregates are hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. The protein quality control (PQC) system normally prevents proteins from misfolding and accumulation; however, proteins somehow escape this control on disease. Here we review advances in the

Protein quality control at the Golgi
The majority of the proteome in eukaryotic cells is targeted to organelles. To maintain protein homeostasis (proteostasis), distinct protein quality control (PQC) machineries operate on organelles, where they detect misfolded proteins, orphaned and mis-localized proteins and selectively target these proteins into different ubiquitin-dependent or ...

Ciclopirox drives growth arrest and autophagic cell death through STAT3 in gastric cancer cells
Ciclopirox (CPX), an antifungal drug, has recently been identified as a promising agent for cancer treatment. However, the effects and underlying mechanism of CPX as an antitumor agent of gastric cancer (GC) remain largely unknown.
