Functional Diversity and Structural Disorder in the Human Ubiquitination Pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a central role in cellular regulation and protein quality control (PQC). The system is built as a pyramid of increasing complexity, with two E1 (ubiquitin activating), few dozen E2 (ubiquitin conjugating) and several

Stress-Independent Activation of XBP1s and/or ATF6 Reveals Three Functionally Diverse ER Proteostasis Environments

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
The unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis through the activation of transcription factors such as XBP1s and ATF6.

Modest Declines in Proteome Quality Impair Hematopoietic Stem Cell Self-Renewal. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Low protein synthesis is a feature of somatic stem cells that promotes regeneration in multiple tissues. Modest increases in protein synthesis impair stem cell function, but the mechanisms by which this occurs are largely unknown.

The malleable brain: plasticity of neural circuits and behavior: A review from students to students [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
One of the most intriguing features of the brain is its ability to be malleable, allowing it to adapt continually to changes in the environment. Specific neuronal activity patterns drive long-lasting increases or decreases in the strength of synaptic ...

Restoration of CFTR function in patients with cystic fibrosis carrying the F508del-CFTR mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Restoration of BECN1/Beclin 1-dependent autophagy and depletion of SQSTM1/p62 by genetic manipulation or autophagy-stimulatory proteostasis regulators, such as cystamine, have positive effects on mouse models of human cystic fibrosis (CF). These measures

Intraneuronal β-amyloid impaired mitochondrial proteostasis through the impact on LONP1

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Significance Mitochondrial dysfunction is a prominent feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Mitochondria have a complex quality control mechanism to maintain proper protein homeostasis, also termed proteostasis.

Increased protein stability and decreased protein turnover in the Caenorhabditis elegans Ins/IGF-1 daf-2 mutant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In Caenorhabditis elegans, cellular proteostasis is likely essential for longevity. Autophagy has been shown to be essential for lifespan extension of daf-2 insulin/IGF mutants.

Proteostasis of Islet Amyloid Polypeptide: A Molecular Perspective of Risk Factors and Protective Strategies for Type II Diabetes.

open access: yesChemical Reviews, 2021
The possible link between hIAPP accumulation and β-cell death in diabetic patients has inspired numerous studies focusing on amyloid structures and aggregation pathways of this hormone.

Proteostasis in complex dendrites

open access: yesNature Reviews Neuroscience, 2013
Like all cells, neurons are made of proteins that have characteristic synthesis and degradation profiles. Unlike other cells, however, neurons have a unique multipolar architecture that makes ∼10,000 synaptic contacts with other neurons. Both the stability and modifiability of the neuronal proteome are crucial for its information-processing, storage ...
