Mechanistic Insights into Hsp104 Potentiation.
Potentiated variants of Hsp104, a protein disaggregase from yeast, can dissolve protein aggregates connected to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying Hsp104 potentiation remain incompletely defined. Here, we establish that 2-3 subunits of the Hsp104 hexamer must bear an A503V potentiating mutation to elicit enh...
متن کاملMechanistic and Structural Insights into the Prion-Disaggregase Activity of Hsp104.
Hsp104 is a dynamic ring translocase and hexameric AAA+ protein found in yeast, which couples ATP hydrolysis to disassembly and reactivation of proteins trapped in soluble preamyloid oligomers, disordered protein aggregates, and stable amyloid or prion conformers. Here, we highlight advances in our structural understanding of Hsp104 and how Hsp104 deconstructs Sup35 prions. Although the atomic ...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic insights into cGMP signaling
Background The second messenger cGMP plays a central role in regulating bodily functions, e.g. in the cardiovascular and nervous systems. cGMP is formed by guanylyl cyclases (GC), activates target proteins, and is finally hydrolyzed by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE). PDEs and GCs are widely used as drug targets, spurring interest in mechanistic and structural insights into their reg...
متن کاملRecent mechanistic insights into eukaryotic ribosomes.
Ribosomes are supramolecular ribonucleoprotein particles that synthesize proteins in all cells. Protein synthesis proceeds through four major phases: initiation, elongation, termination, and ribosome recycling. In each phase, a number of phase-specific translation factors cooperate with the ribosome. Whereas elongation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes involve similar factors and proceed by similar...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into transcription coupled DNA repair.
Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) acts on lesions in the transcribed strand of active genes. Helix distorting adducts and other forms of DNA damage often interfere with the progression of the transcription apparatus. Prolonged stalling of RNA polymerase can promote genome instability and also induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These generally unfavorable events are counteracted by RNA...
