The intrinsic and extrinsic factors that contribute to proteostasis decline and pathological protein misfolding.

Abstract excerpt

Proteostasis refers to the ability of cells to maintain the health of the proteome. Highly conserved quality control mechanisms exist to maintain proteostasis. These include the heat shock response, the unfolded protein response, and protein clearance/degradation pathways. Together, these mechanisms and others comprise the proteostasis network. This network is under constant assault and is strikingly sensitive to...
