Roles of Molecular Chaperones in Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Quality Control and ER-Associated Degradation (ERAD)

Nishikawa, Shuh-ichi, Brodsky, Jeffrey L., Nakatsukasa, Kunio·2005·The Journal of Biochemistry

Abstract

Secreted proteins are synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and a quality control mechanism in the ER is essential to maintain secretory pathway homeostasis. Newly synthesized soluble and integral membrane secreted proteins fold into their native conformations with the aid of ER molecular chaperones before they are transported to post-ER compartments. However, terminally mis-folded proteins may be retained in the ER and degraded by a process called ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Recent studies using yeast have shown that molecular chaperones both in the ER and in the cytosol play key roles during the ERAD of mis-folded proteins. One important role for chaperones during ERAD is to prevent substrate protein aggregation. Substrate selection is another important role for molecular chaperones during ERAD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
