Abstract

Protein misfolding is linked to disease, so how do mammalian cells cope with the burden of misfolded proteins in the nucleus? A recent study in Science (Frottin et al., 2019) demonstrated that on proteotoxic stress, the nucleolus could store some misfolded proteins for refolding or degradation.
