- Full title :Proteostasis and proteolysis / edited by Niki Chondrogianni, Elah Pick, Anna Gioran.
Summary
Proteostasis integrates biological pathways controlling biogenesis, trafficking, folding, and degradation of proteins. Essential aspects of cell function are proeostasic and relevant for diseases such a cancer, obesity, and aging. Various pharmacological interventions can mitigate the impact of proteostatic breakdown. This book focuses on two protein breakdown/degradation processes (proteolysis), which are part of a normally functioning proteostatic system : the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy. These systems and their regulation are affected by endogenous stress and environmental stimuli. Deregulation in proteolysis results in proteostasis failure : protein misfolding and accumulation of damaged and oxidized proteins resulting in neurodegenerative diseases such Alzheimer's, parkinson's, and Huntington's.
