Protein Quality Control: On IPODs and Other JUNQ
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accumulation of misfolded cytosolic or aggregation-prone proteins leads to cellular stress. To protect the cell, damaged or aggregated proteins are actively sequestered in two newly discovered quality control compartments, JUNQ and IPOD, which are highly conserved in evolution.

Compartment-specific aggregases direct distinct nuclear and cytoplasmic aggregate deposition.
Disruption of the functional protein balance in living cells activates protective quality control systems to repair damaged proteins or sequester potentially cytotoxic misfolded proteins into aggregates. The established model based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicates that aggregating proteins in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells partition between cytosolic juxtanuclear (JUNQ) and peripheral dep...
متن کاملCyclosporin-A-induced prion protein aggresomes are dynamic quality-control cellular compartments.
Despite the activity of cellular quality-control mechanisms, subsets of mature and newly synthesized polypeptides fail to fold properly and form insoluble aggregates. In some cases, protein aggregation leads to the development of human neurodegenerative maladies, including Alzheimer's and prion diseases. Aggregates of misfolded prion protein (PrP), which appear in cells after exposure to the dr...
متن کاملDynamic JUNQ inclusion bodies are asymmetrically inherited in mammalian cell lines through the asymmetric partitioning of vimentin.
Aging is associated with the accumulation of several types of damage: in particular, damage to the proteome. Recent work points to a conserved replicative rejuvenation mechanism that works by preventing the inheritance of damaged and misfolded proteins by specific cells during division. Asymmetric inheritance of misfolded and aggregated proteins has been shown in bacteria and yeast, but relativ...
متن کامل4D Imaging of Protein Aggregation in Live Cells
One of the key tasks of any living cell is maintaining the proper folding of newly synthesized proteins in the face of ever-changing environmental conditions and an intracellular environment that is tightly packed, sticky, and hazardous to protein stability. The ability to dynamically balance protein production, folding and degradation demands highly-specialized quality control machinery, whose...
متن کاملCompartmentalization of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1G93A) aggregates determines their toxicity.
Neurodegenerative diseases constitute a class of illnesses marked by pathological protein aggregation in the brains of affected individuals. Although these disorders are invariably characterized by the degeneration of highly specific subpopulations of neurons, protein aggregation occurs in all cells, which indicates that toxicity arises only in particular cell biological contexts. Aggregation-a...
