Mitochondria Tether Protein Trash to Rejuvenate Cellular Environments
Protein damage segregates asymmetrically in dividing yeast cells, rejuvenating daughters at the expense of mother cells. Zhou et al. now show that newly synthesized proteins are particularly prone to aggregation and describe a mechanism that tethers aggregated proteins to mitochondria. This association constrains aggregate mobility, effectively retaining and sorting toxic aggregates away from y...
متن کاملPrediction of Protein Sub-Mitochondria Locations Using Protein Interaction Networks
Background: Prediction of the protein localization is among the most important issues in the bioinformatics that is used for the prediction of the proteins in the cells and organelles such as mitochondria. In this study, several machine learning algorithms are applied for the prediction of the intracellular protein locations. These algorithms use the features extracted from pro...
متن کاملProtein Degradation: BAGging Up the Trash
Cells efficiently uncover and degrade proteins that are misfolded. However, we know very little about what cells do to protect themselves from mislocalized proteins. A new study reveals a novel quality control pathway that recognizes and degrades secretory pathway proteins that have failed to target to the endoplasmic reticulum.
متن کاملRobust protein protein interactions in crowded cellular environments.
The capacity of proteins to interact specifically with one another underlies our conceptual understanding of how living systems function. Systems-level study of specificity in protein-protein interactions is complicated by the fact that the cellular environment is crowded and heterogeneous; interaction pairs may exist at low relative concentrations and thus be presented with many more opportuni...
متن کاملCellular prion protein is present in mitochondria of healthy mice
Cellular prion protein (PrPC) is a mammalian glycoprotein which is usually found anchored to the plasma membrane via a glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. PrPC misfolds to a pathogenic isoform PrPSc, the causative agent of neurodegenerative prion diseases. The precise function of PrPC remains elusive but may depend upon its cellular localization. Here we show that PrPC is present in brain m...
