The unfolded protein response and autophagy: herpesviruses rule!
The unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy are two cellular environmental responses that affect a cell’s life or death. The UPR begins on the sensing of an excess of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Autophagy, originally discovered as a response to nutrient depletion, is involved in development, in the degradation of cellular components, and in the reaction to intrace...
متن کاملAutophagy Counterbalances Endoplasmic Reticulum Expansion during the Unfolded Protein Response
The protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is regulated by the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR senses unfolded proteins in the ER lumen and transmits that information to the cell nucleus, where it drives a transcriptional program that is tailored to re-establish homeostasis. Using thin section electron microscopy, we found that yeast cells expand their ER volume at ...
متن کاملIntegration of autophagy, proteasomal degradation, unfolded protein response and apoptosis.
A single cell has the potential to kill an entire human being. Efforts to cure cancer are limited by survival of individual cancer cells despite immune surveillance and toxic therapies. Understanding the intricate network of pathways that maintain cellular homeostasis and mediate stress response or default into cell death is critical to the development of strategies to eradicate cancer. Autopha...
متن کاملThe unfolded protein response
Where does the UPR function? Between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. All secreted proteins and proteins that reside in secretory compartments translocate as nascent peptide chains into the ER, where they may undergo folding, modification and assembly before assuming their functional conformations. The ER maintains a specialized oxidizing environment to aid ch...
متن کاملThe unfolded protein response.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a principal site for folding and maturation of transmembrane, secretory and ERresident proteins. Perturbations that alter ER homeostasis can lead to accumulation of unfolded proteins (UPs), which is a threat to all living cells. To cope with the stress, cells activate an intracellular signaling pathway – the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is an integr...
