Journal ArticleDOI
ER-associated degradation: Protein quality control and beyond
TL;DR: The best characterized pathway, the ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), monitors the folding of membrane and secretory proteins whose biogenesis takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Journal ArticleDOI
Receptor salvage from the prevacuolar compartment is essential for efficient vacuolar protein targeting.
Luis L. P. daSilva,J. Philip Taylor,Jane L. Hadlington,Sally L. Hanton,Christopher James Snowden,Sarah J. Fox,Ombretta Foresti,Federica Brandizzi,Jürgen Denecke +8 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that recycling of the vacuolar sorting receptor from the prevacuolar compartment to the Golgi apparatus is an essential process that is saturable and wortmannin sensitive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sterol homeostasis requires regulated degradation of squalene monooxygenase by the ubiquitin ligase Doa10/Teb4
Ombretta Foresti,Annamaria Ruggiano,Hans Kristian Hannibal-Bach,Christer S. Ejsing,Pedro Carvalho +4 more
TL;DR: A fundamental role for ERAD is revealed in sterol homeostasis, with the two branches of this pathway acting together to control sterol biosynthesis at different levels and thereby allowing independent regulation of multiple products of the mevalonate pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality control of inner nuclear membrane proteins by the Asi complex
TL;DR: A quantitative proteomics approach was used to reveal an ERAD branch required for INM protein quality control in yeast, which involved the integral membrane proteins Asi1, Asi2, and Asi3, which assembled into an Asi complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
TANGO1 builds a machine for collagen export by recruiting and spatially organizing COPII, tethers and membranes
Ishier Raote,Maria Ortega-Bellido,António J. M. Santos,Ombretta Foresti,Chong Zhang,Maria F. Garcia-Parajo,Maria F. Garcia-Parajo,Felix Campelo,Vivek Malhotra,Vivek Malhotra +9 more
TL;DR: Of particular interest is the finding that TANGO1 recruits ERGIC membranes for collagen export via the NRZ (NBAS/RINT1/ZW10) tether complex, which couples retrograde membrane flow to anterograde cargo transport.
