Application of Proteostasis Regulators in GABAA Receptor Misfolding Diseases
Abstract
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) relies on an orchestrated balance between protein synthesis, folding, assembly, trafficking, and degradation to ensure normal physiological function. Protein misfolding diseases often arise as a result of deficient proteostasis. Proteostasis regulators enhance the proteostasis network capacity to correct the folding, thus promoting the trafficking and restoring the function of disease-associated variants. Here, we focus on the application of proteostasis regulators to promote the folding, assembly, and trafficking of pathogenic γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor variants. Since clinical variants in GABAA receptors often lead to neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, proteostasis regulators have the promise to be developed as novel therapeutics to target misfolding-prone GABAA receptors to treat their protein conformational diseases.
