All cellular proteins are subject to quality control "decisions," which help to prevent or delay a myriad of diseases. Quality control within the secretory pathway creates a special challenge, as aberrant polypeptides are recognized and returned to the cytoplasm for proteasomal degradation. This process is termed endoplasmic-reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD).
所有的细胞蛋白都受到质量控制“决策”的影响,这些决策有助于预防或延缓多种疾病的发生。在分泌途径中进行质量控制会带来特殊的挑战,因为异常的多肽会被识别并返回细胞质进行蛋白酶体降解。这个过程被称为内质网(ER)相关降解(ERAD)。
