Abstract
Arsenite causes proteotoxicity by targeting nascent proteins for misfolding and aggregation. Here, we assessed how selected yeast chaperones and ubiquitin ligases contribute to proteostasis during arsenite stress. Loss of the ribosome-associated chaperones Zuo1, Ssz1, and Ssb1/Ssb2 reduced global translation and protein aggregation, and increased arsenite resistance. Loss of cytosolic GimC/prefoldin function led to defective aggregate clearance and arsenite sensitivity. Arsenite did not induce ribosomal stalling or impair ribosome quality control, and ribosome-associated ubiquitin ligases contributed little to proteostasis. Instead, the cytosolic ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 was important for aggregate clearance and resistance. Our study suggests that damage prevention, by decreased aggregate formation, and damage elimination, by enhanced aggregate clearance, are important protective mechanisms that maintain proteostasis during arsenite stress.Funding Information
