Unfolded Protein Response in Lung Health and Disease

Frontiers in Medicine, 2020
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a complex element, destined to protect the cells against a diverse variety of extracellular and intracellular challenges. UPR activation devises highly efficient responses to counteract cellular threats.

The role of the unfolded protein response pathway in bone homeostasis and potential therapeutic target in cancer-associated bone disease

Bone Research
The unfolded protein response pathway is an evolutionarily conserved cytoprotective signaling cascade, essential for cell function and survival. Unfolded protein response signaling is tightly integrated with bone cell differentiation and function, and ...

Stress Management: How the Endoplasmic Reticulum Mitigates Protein Misfolding and Oxidative Stress by the Dual Role of Glutathione Peroxidase 8

Biomolecules
The endoplasmic reticulum mediates essential processes such as protein folding, transport, and post-translational modifications. Disruptions in endoplasmic reticulum function can lead to the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins, initiating ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Yeast Bax Inhibitor, Bxi1p, Is an ER-Localized Protein that Links the Unfolded Protein Response and Programmed Cell Death in \u3cem\u3eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

, 2011
Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an anti-apoptotic gene whose expression is upregulated in a wide range of human cancers. Studies in both mammalian and plant cells suggest that the BI-1 protein resides in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in the ...

The proteasome biogenesis regulator Rpn4 cooperates with the unfolded protein response to promote ER stress resistance

, 2019
Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) activate the unfolded protein response (U PR), which enhances protein folding to restore homeostasis.

Melanoma and the Unfolded Protein Response [PDF]

Cancers, 2016
The UPR (unfolded protein response) has been identified as a key factor in the progression and metastasis of cancers, notably melanoma. Several mediators of the UPR are upregulated in cancers, e.g., high levels of GRP78 (glucose-regulator protein 78 kDa) correlate with progression and poor outcome in melanoma patients.

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Regulation of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Autophagy: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Ulcerative Colitis

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic nonspecific inflammation that mainly affects the mucosa and submucosa of the rectum and colon. Numerous studies have shown that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced autophagy plays a vital role in the ...
