Active protein quality control in quiescence: involvement of proteasomes, autophagy, and nucleus-vacuole junctions by Mihaela Pravica, Dina Franić, Mirta Boban

“…Given the changes in intracellular organization, it has been unclear how protein quality control (PQC) functions in quiescent cells. In our recent study, we examined model misfolded proteins expressed in glucose-depleted quiescent yeast cells and found that quiescent cells maintain an active PQC that relies primarily on selective protein degradation, requiring the ubiquitin-proteasome system, intact nucleus-vacuole junctions and autophagy. …”
