Maintenance of cellular protein quality - by restoring misfolded proteins to their native state and by targeting terminally misfolded or damaged proteins for degradation - is a critical function of all cells. To ensure protein quality, cells have evolved various organelle-specific quality control mechanisms responsible for recognizing and responding to misfolded proteins at different subcellular locations of the cell. Recently, several publications have begun to elucidate mechanisms of quality control that operate at the plasma membrane (PM), recognizing misfolded PM proteins and targeting their endocytic trafficking and lysosomal degradation. Here, I discuss these recent developments in our understanding of PM quality control mechanisms and how they relate to global protein quality control strategies in the cell.
细胞蛋白质质量的维持 - 通过将错误折叠的蛋白质恢复到其天然状态,以及通过靶向终末错误折叠或受损的蛋白质进行降解 - 是所有细胞的关键功能。为了确保蛋白质质量,细胞已经进化出各种细胞器特异性的质量控制机制,负责在细胞的不同亚细胞位置识别和响应错误折叠的蛋白质。最近,有几篇出版物开始阐明在质膜(PM)上起作用的质量控制机制,这些机制识别错误折叠的 PM 蛋白,并靶向它们的内吞运输和溶酶体降解。在这里,我将讨论我们对 PM 质量控制机制的理解的这些最新进展,以及它们与细胞中全局蛋白质质量控制策略的关系。
