During aging, proteostasis capacity declines and aggregation-prone proteins become instable, accumulating in protein aggregates both inside and outside cells. Both in disease and during aging, proteins selectively aggregate in certain tissues and not others. Yet, tissue-specific regulation of protein aggregation remains poorly understood. Surprisingly, we found that the inhibition of three core protein quality control systems, i.e. chaperones, proteasome and macroautophagy, leads to lower levels of age-dependent protein aggregation in C. elegans pharyngeal muscles, but higher levels in body-wall muscles. We describe a novel safety mechanism called SAPA that selectively targets newly synthesized aggregation-prone proteins to suppress aggregation and proteotoxicity. vha-12 and scav-3 mutants reveal that SAPA relies on macroautophagy-independent lysosomal degradation. Furthermore, SAPA involves several previously uncharacterized components of the intracellular pathogen response. We propose that SAPA represents an anti-aggregation machinery targeting aggregation-prone proteins for lysosomal degradation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
