Clearance of variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease prions in vivo by the Hsp70 disaggregase system

AM Thackray, B Lam, EE McNulty, AV Nalls… - Brain, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The metazoan Hsp70 disaggregase protects neurons from proteotoxicity that arises from the
accumulation of misfolded protein aggregates. Hsp70 and its co-chaperones disassemble …

Pseudouridine-dependent ribosome biogenesis regulates translation of polyglutamine proteins during Drosophila oogenesis

S Breznak, Y Peng, L Deng, NM Kotb, Z Flamholz… - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Stem cells in many systems, including Drosophila germline stem cells (GSCs), increase
ribosome biogenesis and translation during terminal differentiation. Here, we show that …
