Zusammenfassung:Proteins are subject to continuous and complex quality-control mechanisms, which ensure integrity of the proteome. Vilchez et al. review how a demise in these processes, collectively referred to as proteostasis, is linked to organismal ageing and the development of age-associated diseases. The ability to maintain a functional proteome, or proteostasis, declines during the ageing process. Damaged and misfolded proteins accumulate with age, impairing cell function and tissue homeostasis. The accumulation of damaged proteins contributes to multiple age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease. Damaged proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin–proteasome system or through autophagy-lysosome, key components of the proteostasis network. Modulation of either proteasome activity or autophagic-lysosomal potential extends lifespan and protects organisms from symptoms associated with proteostasis disorders, suggesting that protein clearance mechanisms are directly linked to ageing and age-associated diseases.
