“…In other instances, the connection between SGs and stress resistance is less clear. A number of additional functions have been reported for SGs, including mRNA quality control, spatiotemporal control of gene expression, regulation of nucleocytoplasmic transport, prevention of pathological protein aggregation, regulation of cell growth and kinase signaling, and alleviation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage ( Kedersha and Anderson, 2007 ; Kedersha et al., 2005 , 2013 ; Khong et al., 2017 ; Mann et al., 2019 ; McGurk et al., 2018 ; Panas et al., 2016 ; Takahashi et al., 2013 ; Zhang et al., 2018 ; Mediani et al., 2021 ; Amen and Kaganovich, 2020b ). In the latter case, SGs are shown to be activated by oxidative stress ( Kato et al., 2019 ) and to promote survival by activating the antioxidant activity of USP10, thereby reducing ROS production ( Takahashi et al., 2013 ).…”
