Arg80 Orchestrates a Metabolic-Translational Proteostasis Network in S. cerevisiae

The paper identifies Arg80 as a key regulator of proteostasis in S. cerevisiae, showing its role in mitigating proteotoxic stress through interactions with arginine metabolism and stress response pathways.

Laboratory adaptive evolution of thermotolerance is linked to the evolution of a robust proteostasis in S. cerevisiae

This study shows that adaptive evolution in yeast increases ERAD capacity to improve thermotolerance by enhancing proteostasis under thermal stress.

Fitness defects due to cytosolic protein misfolding in S. cerevisiae can be alleviated by decreasing mitochondrial protein import capacity

The paper identifies that reducing mitochondrial protein import capacity alleviates cytosolic protein misfolding fitness defects in yeast by enhancing proteostasis.
