A set of genes that promote the sensation of sweetness are also important for protein management during fly development, according to a new study led by the University of Bristol and colleagues, published today (July 21) in the open access journal PLOS Biology. These findings broaden the understanding of key processes in successful development and suggest a link between taste-related genes and impaired protein aggregation. Protein homeostasis or proteostasis, is a set of processes that maintains cellular proteins in a functional state and removes damaged proteins that cannot be repaired. Ribosomes are multi-protein molecular machinery that synthesizes proteins and mutations in genes encoding ribosomal proteins not only impair protein synthesis but also impair proteostasis, leading to chronic proteotoxic stress.
