Fregno, Ilaria Molinari, Maurizio 2019-05-14 About 40% of the eukaryotic cell’s proteins are inserted co- or post-translationally in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they attain the native structure under the assistance of resident molecular chaperones and folding enzymes. Subsequently, these proteins are secreted from cells or are transported to their sites of function at the plasma membrane or in organelles of the secretory and endocytic compartments. Polypeptides that are not delivered within the ER (mis-localized proteins, MLPs) are rapidly destroyed by cytosolic proteasomes, with intervention of the membrane protease ZMPSTE24 if they remained trapped in the SEC61 translocation machinery. Proteins that enter the ER, but fail to attain the native structure are rapidly degraded to prevent toxic accumulation of aberrant gene products. The ER does not contain degradative devices and the majority of misfolded proteins generated in this biosynthetic compartment are dislocated across the membrane for degradation by cytosolic 26S proteasomes by mechanisms and pathways collectively defined as ERassociated degradation (ERAD). Proteins that do not engage ERAD factors, that enter aggregates or polymers, are too large, display chimico/physical features that prevent dislocation across the ER membrane (ERAD-resistant misfolded proteins) are delivered to endolysosome for clearance, by mechanisms and pathways collectively defined as ER-tolysosomes associated degradation (ERLAD). Emerging evidences lead us to propose ERLAD as an umbrella term that includes the autophagic and non-autophagic pathways activated and engaged by ERAD-resistant misfolded proteins generated in the ER for delivery to degradative endo-lysosomes. application/pdf https://n2t.net/ark:/12658/srd1319200 https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/319200 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/319200/files/Fregno_crbmb_2019.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1080/10409238.2019.1610351 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1319200 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Critical reviews in biochemistry and molecular biology. - 2019, vol. 54, no. 2, p. 153-163 Autophagy Endo-lysosomes Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ER-associated degradation (ERAD) ER-phagy ER-phagy receptors ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) Protein folding and quality control RecovER-phagy info:eu-repo/classification/udc/57/59 Proteasomal and lysosomal clearance of faulty secretory proteins : ER-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) pathways http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
