Protein folding, protein homeostasis, and cancer
Proteins fold into their functional 3-dimensional structures from a linear amino acid sequence. In vitro this process is spontaneous; while in vivo it is orchestrated by a specialized set of proteins, called chaperones. Protein folding is an ongoing cellular process, as cellular proteins constantly undergo synthesis and degradation. Here emerging links between this process and cancer are review...
متن کاملProtein Stability, Folding, Disaggregation and Etiology of Conformational Malfunctions
Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...

They not only help to fold the newly synthesized proteins to get their final structure, but are also involved in many other events of the cellular li...
متن کاملDisulfide bonds in ER protein folding and homeostasis.
Proteins that are expressed outside the cell must be synthesized, folded, and assembled in a way that ensures they can function in their designate location. Accordingly, these proteins are primarily synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which has developed a chemical environment more similar to that outside the cell. This organelle is equipped with a variety of molecular chaperones and...
متن کاملPolyglutamine aggregates alter protein folding homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Expansion of polyglutamine repeats in several unrelated proteins causes neurodegenerative diseases with distinct but related pathologies. To provide a model system for investigating common pathogenic features, we have examined the behavior of polyglutamine expansions expressed in Caenorhabditis elegans. The expression of polyglutamine repeats as green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion proteins i...
