Inhibition of stress-inducible HSP70 impairs mitochondrial proteostasis and function
Protein quality control is an important component of survival for all cells. The use of proteasome inhibitors for cancer therapy derives from the fact that tumor cells generally exhibit greater levels of proteotoxic stress than do normal cells, and thus cancer cells tend to be more sensitive to proteasome inhibition. However, this approach has been limited in some cases by toxicity to normal ce...
متن کاملSmall molecule displacement of a cryptic degron causes conditional protein degradation
The ability to rapidly regulate the functions of specific proteins in living cells is a valuable tool for biological research. Here we describe a new technique by which the degradation of a specific protein is induced by a small molecule. A protein of interest is fused to a ligand-induced degradation (LID) domain, resulting in the expression of a stable and functional fusion protein. The LID do...
متن کاملConditional control of protein function.
Deciphering the myriad ways in which proteins interact with each other to give rise to complex behaviors that define living systems is a significant challenge. Using perturbations of DNA, genetic analyses have provided many insights into the functions of proteins encoded by specific genes. However, it can be difficult to study essential genes using these approaches, and many biological processe...
متن کاملProteostasis, oxidative stress and aging
The production of reactive species is an inevitable by-product of metabolism and thus, life itself. Since reactive species are able to damage cellular structures, especially proteins, as the most abundant macromolecule of mammalian cells, systems are necessary which regulate and preserve a functional cellular protein pool, in a process termed "proteostasis". Not only the mammalian protein pool ...
متن کاملBiochemical Aspects of Protein Changes in Seed Physiology and Germination
Seed storage proteins are synthesized as sources of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur for the next generation of plants. Reactive oxygen species serve as second messengers for signal transduction; however, molecular targets of oxidant signaling have not been defined. Here, many researchers showes that ligand–receptor mediated signaling promotes reactive oxygen species– dependent protein carbonylation...
