Abstract excerpt
Cells continuously monitor protein synthesis to prevent accumulation of aberrant polypeptides. Insufficient capacity of cellular degradative systems, chaperone shortage or high levels of mistranslation by ribosomes can result in proteotoxic stress and endanger proteostasis. One of the least explored reasons for mistranslation is the incorrect functioning of the ribosome itself. To understand how cells deal with...
