IRE1 directs proteasomal and lysosomal degradation of misfolded rhodopsin
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for folding of secreted and membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells. Disruption of ER protein folding leads to ER stress. Chronic ER stress can cause cell death and is proposed to underlie the pathogenesis of many human diseases. Inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) directs a key unfolded protein response signaling pathway that controls the fidelity of ER p...
متن کاملStructure and function in rhodopsin: Mass spectrometric identification of the abnormal intradiscal disulfide bond in misfolded retinitis pigmentosa mutants.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) point mutations in both the intradiscal (ID) and transmembrane domains of rhodopsin cause partial or complete misfolding of rhodopsin, resulting in loss of 11-cis-retinal binding. Previous work has shown that misfolding is caused by the formation of a disulfide bond in the ID domain different from the native Cys-110-Cys-187 disulfide bond in native rhodopsin. Here we r...
متن کاملAggregation and Prion-Like Properties of Misfolded Tumor Suppressors: Is Cancer a Prion Disease?
Prion diseases are disorders that share several characteristics that are typical of many neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, several studies have extended the prion concept to pathological aggregation in malignant tumors involving misfolded p53, a tumor-suppressor protein. The aggregation of p53 and its coaggregation with p53 family members, p63 and p73, have been shown. Certain p53 mutants e...
متن کاملMolecular defects in Drosophila rhodopsin mutants.
Four well characterized Drosophila rhodopsin (ninaE) mutants possess low levels of rhodopsin in their major class of photoreceptors. The molecular defect present in each strain was determined by isolating and sequencing the mutant genes. Two missense mutants encode proteins which have arginine residues positioned within membrane-spanning domains. The third missense mutant eliminates a proline f...
متن کاملElectrophysiological study of Drosophila rhodopsin mutants
Electrophysiological investigations were carried out on several independently isolated mutants of the ninaE gene, which encodes opsin in R1-6 photoreceptors, and a mutant of the ninaD gene, which is probably important in the formation of the rhodopsin chromophore. In these mutants, the rhodopsin content in R1-6 photoreceptors is reduced by 10(2)-10(6)-fold. Light-induced bumps recorded from eve...
