Endoplasmic reticulum degradation: reverse protein flow of no return

Sommer, Thomas, Wolf, Dieter H.·1997·The FASEB Journal

Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of entry of proteins into the secretory pathway. It is responsible for proper folding of the proteins before delivery to their site of action. Furthermore, proofreading to detect malfolded or unnecessary proteins that have to be eliminated and regulation of protein levels are crucial ER functions. The ubiquitin‐proteasome system, located in the cytoplasm, has emerged as the major ER degradation machinery. A multitude of ER resident as well as membrane‐bound and soluble proteolytic substrates of the secretory pathway are retained in the ER and destined for degradation via this pathway. Their actual proteolysis is preceded by a retrograde transport to the cytoplasm. A key component of the translocation apparatus, Sec61p, is also the central subunit of the retrograde transport system. Other components of the translocon such as Sec63p or the lumenal chaperone BiP may also be involved in export to the cytosol. Novel ER membrane proteins such as Der1p, Der3p/Hrd1p, or Hrd3p might reprogram the translocon for retrograde transport. As ubiquitination is a prerequisite for degradation by the proteasome, exported proteins are ubiquitinated. Representatives of ER membrane‐bound ubiquitin‐conjugating enzymes, Ubc6p and Cue1p/Ubc7p, have been identified in yeast. Retrograde transport and ubiquitination seem to be coupled processes.—Sommer, T., Wolf, D. H. Endoplasmic reticulum degradation: Reverse protein flow of no return. FASEB J. 11, 1227–1233 (1997)

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.
