| T1 |
0-179 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The ubiquitin ligase E6-AP is induced and recruited to aggresomes in response to proteasome inhibition and may be involved in the ubiquitination of Hsp70-bound misfolded proteins. |
| T2 |
180-304 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Cells are equipped with an efficient quality control system to selectively eliminate abnormally folded and damaged proteins. |
| T3 |
305-485 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Initially the cell tries to refold the unfolded proteins with the help of molecular chaperones, and failure to refold leads to their degradation by the ubiquitin proteasome system. |
| T4 |
486-584 |
Sentence |
denotes |
But how this proteolytic machinery recognizes the abnormally folded proteins is poorly understood. |
| T5 |
585-813 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, we report that E6-AP, a HECT domain family ubiquitin ligase implicated in Angelman syndrome, interacts with the substrate binding domain of Hsp70/Hsc70 chaperones and promotes the degradation of chaperone bound substrates. |
| T6 |
814-997 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The expression of E6-AP was dramatically induced under a variety of stresses, and overexpression of E6-AP was found to protect against endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced cell death. |
| T7 |
998-1234 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The inhibition of proteasome function not only increases the expression of E6-AP but also causes its redistribution around microtubule-organizing center, a subcellular structure for the degradation of the cytoplasmic misfolded proteins. |
| T8 |
1235-1375 |
Sentence |
denotes |
E6-AP is also recruited to aggresomes containing the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or expanded polyglutamine proteins. |
| T9 |
1376-1469 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, we demonstrate that E6-AP ubiquitinates misfolded luciferase that is bound by Hsp70. |
| T10 |
1470-1727 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our results suggest that E6-AP functions as a cellular quality control ubiquitin ligase and, therefore, can be implicated not only in the pathogenesis of Angelman syndrome but also in the biology of neurodegenerative disorders involving protein aggregation. |
