Here we study links between aminoglycoside-induced mistranslation, protein misfolding and neuropathy. suggesting a high selective pressure during evolution to minimize errors in protein synthesis.1 In bacteria, erroneous protein synthesis induces protein misfolding.2 In higher eukaryotes, protein misfolding results in endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress and initiates the unfolded protein response (UPR), a cascade of integrated pathways… Continue reading Here we study links between aminoglycoside-induced mistranslation, protein misfolding and neuropathy.
