Abstract:Protein quality control is an essential process for cellular survival. When protein damage occurs, a series of coordinated response mechanisms repair or degrade damaged proteins to avoid the accumulation of toxic protein aggregates and restore proteostasis. However, the amount of misfolded proteins increases during aging overwhelming the mechanisms responsible for protein quality control, thus leading to the development of several age-dependent neurodegenerative disorders. Interestingly, targeted expression of… Show more
