Small Molecule Proteostasis Regulators for Protein Conformational Diseases
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is essential for cellular and organismal health. Stress, aging and the chronic expression of misfolded proteins, however, challenge the proteostasis machinery and the vitality of the cell. Enhanced expression of molecular chaperones, regulated by heat shock transcription factor-1 (HSF-1), has been shown to restore proteostasis in a variety of conformational di...
متن کاملSmall molecule proteostasis regulators that reprogram the ER to reduce extracellular protein aggregation
Imbalances in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis are associated with etiologically-diverse degenerative diseases linked to excessive extracellular protein misfolding and aggregation. Reprogramming of the ER proteostasis environment through genetic activation of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR)-associated transcription factor ATF6 attenuates secretion and extracellular aggregation of amy...
متن کاملSmall-molecule regulators that mimic transcription factors.
Transcription factors (TFs) are responsible for decoding and expressing the information stored in the genome, which dictates cellular function. Creating artificial transcription factors (ATFs) that mimic endogenous TFs is a major goal at the interface of biology, chemistry, and molecular medicine. Such molecular tools will be essential for deciphering and manipulating transcriptional networks t...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Therapy for Genetic Diseases
text. For example, microfilaments are incorrectly introduced as being “~35 nm in diameter,” but the same chapter subsection also provides the correct relative diameters of microtubules and intermediate filaments. Perhaps subsequent editions of the textbook will address these issues. The strength of the textbook lies in its ability to promote active learning by applying acquired physiological kn...
متن کاملSmall Molecule-Assisted PET: Approaches to Imaging of Conformational Diseases of the Brain
PET (positron emission tomography) in vivo imaging of cerebral conformational diseases is essentially based on non-peptide small molecule ligands used to detect early alterations in peptide secondary structures and subsequent accumulation of aberrant oligomers and protein deposits involved in progressive neurodegeneration, cognitive and movement disorders. In this article, an overview is given ...
