Chaperone-related immune dysfunction: an emergent property of distorted chaperone networks.
Molecular chaperones (heat shock proteins) are important components of cellular networks, such as protein-protein and gene regulatory networks. Chaperones participate in the folding of immunologically important proteins, presentation of antigens and activation of the immune system. Here, we propose that chaperone-related immune dysfunction might be more general than was previously thought. Muta...
متن کاملInteractions of Tat pathway-related chaperone proteins
The twin-arginine transport pathway is a protein-targeting system dedicated to the transmembrane translocation of fully folded proteins. In bacteria, proteins are targeted to a membrane-embedded Tat translocase by specialized N-terminal twin-arginine signal peptides bearing an SRRXFLK amino acid motif. Complex cofactor-containing Tat substrates, such as DmsA and TorA, acquire their redox cofact...
متن کاملSystems biology of molecular chaperone networks.
Molecular chaperones are not only fascinating molecular machines that help the folding, refolding, activation or assembly of other proteins, but also have a number of functions. These functions can be understood only by considering the emergent properties of cellular networks--and that of chaperones as special network constituents. As a notable example for the network-related roles of chaperone...
متن کاملAge-related decline in chaperone-mediated autophagy.
Intracellular protein degradation rates decrease with age in many tissues and organs. In cultured cells, chaperone-mediated autophagy, which is responsible for the selective degradation of cytosolic proteins in lysosomes, decreases with age. In this work we use lysosomes isolated from rat liver to analyze age-related changes in the levels and activities of the main components of chaperone-media...
متن کاملMolecular Chaperone Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Effects of Curcumin
The intra- and extracellular accumulation of misfolded and aggregated amyloid proteins is a common feature in several neurodegenerative diseases, which is thought to play a major role in disease severity and progression. The principal machineries maintaining proteostasis are the ubiquitin proteasomal and lysosomal autophagy systems, where heat shock proteins play a crucial role. Many protein ag...
