In this issue of Developmental Cell, Rane et al. report a cellular pathway to link PrP(Sc), via ER stress and the activation of a preemptive quality control process, to neurodegeneration in a PrP-dependent manner. This pathway puts together several pieces in the puzzle of the relationship between PrP(Sc) and brain damage and may in part explain the mechanism of prion neurodegeneration.
在本期《发育细胞》杂志中,拉内等人报告了一条细胞通路,该通路通过内质网应激和激活一种先发制人的质量控制过程,以依赖朊蛋白(PrP)的方式将朊病毒蛋白(PrP(Sc))与神经退行性变联系起来。这条通路将PrP(Sc)与脑损伤之间关系谜题中的几个部分拼凑在一起,可能部分解释了朊病毒神经退行性变的机制。
