Molecular chaperones, stress proteins and redox homeostasis.
Protection against oxidative stress is highly interrelated with the function of the most ancient cellular defense system, the network of molecular chaperones, heat shock, or stress-proteins. These ubiquitous, conserved proteins help other proteins and macromolecules to fold or re-fold and reach their final, native conformation. Redox regulation of protein folding becomes especially important du...
متن کاملRedox Aspects of Chaperones in Cardiac Function
Molecular chaperones are stress proteins that allow the correct folding or unfolding as well as the assembly or disassembly of macromolecular cellular components. Changes in expression and post-translational modifications of chaperones have been linked to a number of age- and stress-related diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. Redox sensible post-translatio...
متن کاملRedox regulated peroxisome homeostasis
Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles present in nearly all eukaryotic cells. Conserved functions of peroxisomes encompass beta-oxidation of fatty acids and scavenging of reactive oxygen species generated from diverse peroxisomal metabolic pathways. Peroxisome content, number, and size can change quickly in response to environmental and/or developmental cues. To achieve efficient peroxisome hom...
متن کاملRedox-regulated RNA helicase expression.
In photosynthetic organisms it is becoming increasingly evident that light-driven shifts in redox potential act as a sensor that initiates alterations in gene expression at both the level of transcription and translation. This report provides evidence that the expression of a cyanobacterial RNA helicase gene, crhR, is controlled at the level of transcription and mRNA stability by a complex seri...
متن کاملMolecular chaperones and proteostasis regulation during redox imbalance☆
Free radicals originate from both exogenous environmental sources and as by-products of the respiratory chain and cellular oxygen metabolism. Sustained accumulation of free radicals, beyond a physiological level, induces oxidative stress that is harmful for the cellular homeodynamics as it promotes the oxidative damage and stochastic modification of all cellular biomolecules including proteins....
