Specialized chaperones
A n interphase meeting between X chromosomes, revealed by Na Xu, Chia-Lun Tsai, and Jeannie Lee (Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA), ensures that one and only one is silenced. Silencing of one of the two X chromosomes in a female somatic cell brings the gene dosage level down to that of male cells. Inactivation is controlled by several noncoding RNAs transcribed from, and acting in cis upon, t...
متن کاملIndividual chaperones required for Yop secretion by Yersinia.
Pathogenic yersiniae secrete anti-host proteins called Yops, by a recently discovered Sec-independent pathway. The Yops do not have a classical signal peptide at their N terminus and they are not processed during membrane translocation. The secretion domain is nevertheless contained in their N-terminal part but these domains do not resemble each other in the different Yops. We have previously s...
متن کاملSpecialized membrane-localized chaperones prevent aggregation of polytopic proteins in the ER
The integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein Shr3p is required for proper plasma membrane localization of amino acid permeases (AAPs) in yeast. In the absence of Shr3p AAPs are uniquely retained in the ER with each of their twelve membrane-spanning segments correctly inserted in the membrane. Here, we show that the membrane domain of Shr3p specifically prevents AAPs from aggregating...
متن کاملType III chaperones & Co in bacterial plant pathogens: a set of specialized bodyguards mediating effector delivery
Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacteria possess a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject bacterial proteins, called type III effectors (T3Es), into host cells through a specialized syringe structure. T3Es are virulence factors that can suppress plant immunity but they can also conversely be recognized by the plant and trigger specific resistance mechanisms. The T3SS and injected T3Es play a...
متن کاملExtracellular chaperones.
The maintenance of the levels and correct folding state of proteins (proteostasis) is a fundamental prerequisite for life. Life has evolved complex mechanisms to maintain proteostasis and many of these that operate inside cells are now well understood. The same cannot yet be said of corresponding processes in extracellular fluids of the human body, where inappropriate protein aggregation is kno...
