Quality control against misfolded proteins in the cytosol: a network for cell survival
Abstract
Misfolded proteins are toxic to cells and the accumulation of toxic species can lead to protein misfolding diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders. The toxicity of misfolded proteins is thought to result from the presence of exposed hydrophobic surfaces, which mediate unnecessary binding to normal proteins, interrupting essential interactions between cellular proteins. To prevent toxicity, quality control systems monitor protein folding and remove misfolded species in the cytosol. Molecular chaperones recognize and mask hydrophobic surfaces of misfolded monomers, and transfer them to the ubiquitin-proteasome system and chaperone-mediated autophagy. To eliminate soluble aggregates of misfolded proteins, the macroautophagy-lysosome system is thought to degrade proteasome-resistant toxic species. In addition, the microtubule-dependent transport system sequesters soluble oligomers/aggregates into inclusion bodies. These systems are regulated by stress-inducible transcription factors, cochaperones and other cofactors for the effective removal of toxic monomers and oligomers. This review explores the roles of protein quality control pathways and networks that control quality control activities in the cytosol, particularly focusing on recent progress in this field.
