How stressed cells triage mRNAs
An organism placed under stress prioritizes activities essential for immediate survival, postponing or abandoning less pressing concerns. This is true at the cellular level, too; stressed cells can modify their systems to cope with damage and even prioritize protein translation toward those genes that will help them overcome the crisis (1). Crucial to this effort are cytoplasmic stress granules...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Membrane Proteins
In spite of the functional importance of membrane proteins, information on their structure and organization is lacking due to the paucity of crystal structures. In the absence of a detailed crystallographic database, approaches based on fluorescence spectroscopy have proved useful in elucidating the organization, topology and orientation of membrane proteins. This review is focussed on the appl...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Membrane Proteins
The function of palmitoylation will depend on the protein that is being considered. Palmitoylation increases the hydrophobicity of proteins and contributes to their membrane association. Progress has been made in our understanding of protein S-palmitoylation as one of a repertoire of dynamic post-translational protein modifications that can control protein trafficking, localization, partitionin...
متن کاملAntioxidant Activity of Oat Proteins Derived Peptides in Stressed Hepatic HepG2 Cells
The purpose of this study was to determine, for the first time, antioxidant activities of seven peptides (P1-P7) derived from hydrolysis of oat proteins in a cellular model. In the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, it was found that P2 had the highest radical scavenging activity (0.67 ± 0.02 µM Trolox equivalent (TE)/µM peptide) followed by P5, P3, P6, P4, P1, and P7 whose activi...
متن کاملStressed mycobacteria use the chaperone ClpB to sequester irreversibly oxidized proteins asymmetrically within and between cells.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) defends itself against host immunity and chemotherapy at several levels, including the repair or degradation of irreversibly oxidized proteins (IOPs). To investigate how Mtb deals with IOPs that can neither be repaired nor degraded, we used new chemical and biochemical probes and improved image analysis algorithms for time-lapse microscopy to reveal a defense ag...
