Prions amplify through degradation of the VPS10P sorting receptor sortilin
Prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders caused by prions, which consist mainly of the abnormally folded isoform of prion protein, PrPSc. A pivotal pathogenic event in prion disease is progressive accumulation of prions, or PrPSc, in brains through constitutive conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein, PrPC, into PrPSc. However, the cellular mechanism by wh...
متن کاملSorting out sortilin.
G association studies have the potential to lead to identification of novel pathways and mechanisms for the pathogenesis of common complex diseases. Previous genome-wide association studies have identified a locus on 1p13 as a risk locus for dyslipidemia and myocardial infarction. However, the responsible mechanisms have remained elusive. Two recent reports implicate SORT1 as the causative gene...
متن کاملThe endosomal protein-sorting receptor sortilin has a role in trafficking α-1 antitrypsin.
Up to 1 in 3000 individuals in the United States have α-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and the most common cause of this disease is homozygosity for the antitrypsin-Z variant (ATZ). ATZ is inefficiently secreted, resulting in protein deficiency in the lungs and toxic polymer accumulation in the liver. However, only a subset of patients suffer from liver disease, suggesting that genetic factors predi...
متن کاملA new role under sortilin's belt in cancer
The neurotensin receptor-3 also known as sortilin was the first member of the small family of vacuolar protein sorting 10 protein domain (Vps10p) discovered two decades ago in the human brain. The expression of sortilin is not confined to the nervous system but sortilin is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues. Sortilin has multiple roles in the cell as a receptor or a co-receptor, in protein ...
متن کاملSortilin and retromer mediate retrograde transport of Glut4 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes
Sortilin is a multiligand sorting receptor responsible for the anterograde transport of lysosomal enzymes and substrates. Here we demonstrate that sortilin is also involved in retrograde protein traffic. In cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, sortilin together with retromer rescues Glut4 from degradation in lysosomes and retrieves it to the TGN, where insulin--responsive vesicles are formed. Mechanisti...
