The Evolved Balance of Unfolded Protein Response Activity in a Cell is Suboptimal for Longevity

Examine evidence that cells balance unfolded protein responses across compartments and that this evolved balance limits organismal lifespan potential.

Key Takeaways
  • Unfolded protein response is triggered and acts to remove the problem proteins
  • Disruption of proteostasis is a hallmark of aging
  • Yet, the principles governing this process, including the potential role of trade-offs, are not well defined
