Proteasome-dependent degradation and nucleus-vacuole junctions sustain proteostasis during acute glucose starvation

Mihaela Pravica, Dina Franić, Matko Bazdan…·Mirta Boban

The paper shows that proteasome-mediated degradation of misfolded proteins persists during acute glucose starvation in yeast, and nucleus-vacuole junctions support this process under metabolic stress.

Quiescent cells maintain active degradation-mediated protein quality control requiring proteasome, autophagy and nucleus-vacuole junctions

Dina Franić, Mihaela Pravica, Klara Zubčić…·Mirta Boban

The paper investigates protein quality control (PQC) in quiescent yeast cells, showing that degradation pathways like proteasomes, autophagy, and nucleus-vacuole junctions are active and required for misfolded protein clearance.
