Resumen
El mecanismo de degradación asociada a ER (ERAD) utiliza el complejo de vigilancia Yos9p para identificar proteínas mal plegadas. Este complejo asegura la correcta degradación de las proteínas mediante la comprobación del estado del azúcar y el reclutamiento de sustratos para la maquinaria ERAD.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- La degradación de las proteínas.
- Mecanismos moleculares de las moléculas.
Sus antecedentes:
- Todavía no están claros los mecanismos precisos por los cuales la maquinaria de degradación asociada a ER (ERAD) reconoce las proteínas terminalmente mal plegadas.
- El reconocimiento de los sustratos luminales de ERAD está influenciado por el plegamiento de las proteínas, el estado de glicosilación y la lectina ER Yos9p.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Aclarar el papel de Yos9p en el reconocimiento de proteínas mal plegadas por parte de la maquinaria ERAD.
- Investigar la composición y función del complejo que contiene Yos9p en ERAD.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis bioquímico de complejos proteicos dentro de la ER.
- Análisis funcionales para evaluar las vías de degradación de las proteínas.
- Manipulación genética para desacoplar los componentes del ERAD.
Principales resultados:
- Yos9p es parte de un complejo estable con componentes de la maquinaria ERAD, incluido Hrd1p, que abarca la membrana ER.
- Yos9p, Kar2p y Hrd3p forman un complejo de vigilancia luminal que recluta proteínas no nativas y media un paso de compromiso de degradación dependiente del azúcar.
- El desacoplamiento de Hrd1p del complejo Yos9p permite una degradación independiente de la glicosilación.
Conclusiones:
- El complejo Yos9p/Kar2p/Hrd3p actúa como guardián del ERAD.
- Este complejo asegura la identificación precisa de las proteínas terminalmente mal plegadas mediante su reclutamiento en la maquinaria ERAD.
- El complejo interroga el estado de glicosilación del sustrato, evitando la degradación de proteínas plegadas incorrectamente que eluden el control de calidad normal.

01:38Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies
Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...
01:45ER Retrieval Pathway
In the secretory pathway, vesicles transport proteins from one cellular compartment to another in forward transport to deliver the protein to its correct location. Occasionally, misfolded proteins and incorrect proteins escape their original compartments, and a retrieval pathway is used to return the escaped proteins to their original compartment.
The ER uses many checkpoints to prevent the entry of incorrectly folded or a resident protein as cargo onto a transport vesicle. These mechanisms...

01:29Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER
ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...
01:37The Unfolded Protein Response
The ER is the hub of protein synthesis in a cell. It has robust systems to quality control protein folding and also for degradation of terminally misfolded proteins. Under normal conditions, a small proportion of misfolded proteins that cannot be salvaged need to be transported to the cytoplasm by the ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathways. However, if the ERAD cannot handle the misfolded proteins, the cell activates the unfolded protein response or UPR to adjust the protein folding...
01:32Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER
After folding, the ER assesses the quality of secretory and membrane proteins. The correctly folded proteins are cleared by the calnexin cycle for transport to their final destination, while misfolded proteins are held back in the ER lumen. The ER chaperones attempt to unfold and refold the misfolded proteins but sometimes fail to achieve the correct native conformation. Such terminally misfolded proteins are then exported to the cytosol by ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway for...
01:28Protein Translocation Machinery on the ER Membrane
The translocon complex situated on the ER membrane is the main gateway for the protein secretory pathway. It facilitates the transport of nascent peptides into the ER lumen and their insertion into the ER membrane.
Sec61 protein conducting channel
In eukaryotes, the translocon complex comprises a core heterotrimeric translocator channel called the Sec61 complex. This channel includes three transmembrane proteins, Sec61α, Sec61β, and Sec61γ, and is the largest subunit of the translocon complex.
