The Wtf4 antidote protein assembles with the Wtf4 poison protein and promotes the transportation of the assembled proteins to the vacuole for sequestration or destruction.
The repair of oxidatively damaged proteins by the newly discovered activity in YjbI is important for the adaptation of Bacillus subtilis to oxidative environments.

Various genotoxic stresses trigger widespread aggregation of abundant, liquid-liquid phase separation-prone proteins, suggesting that genotoxic stress is a potential driver of disease-associated protein aggregation.
The first demonstration that cellular ATP homeostasis suppresses high volatility of cellular ATP levels to ensure proteostasis that prevents accumulation of cytotoxic protein aggregation.
Cell-based high-throughput screening identifies IBT21 as a chemical chaperone, that inhibits ER protein aggregation and prevents the cell death caused by a proteotoxin, the aggregation-prone prion protein.
