Homeostasis of the proteome, also known as proteostasis, involves a diverse set of mechanisms, ranging from protein translation, folding and trafficking, to multiple degradation pathways like autophagy, proteasomal degradation or vacuolar digestion. It is a key feature to ensure cellular homeostasis, allowing for the fine-tuning of protein concentrations and activity in response to specific cues. Plant proteostasis has been shown to play key roles in development and immunity, and is remarkably involved in the regulation of all plant hormone biosynthesis pathways. Thus, understanding the interplay between the different mechanisms involved in proteome regulation is likely to open new doors for plant breeding.
This Collection invites original research on plant proteostasis, from the molecular and biochemical processes regulating the proteome, to their role in plant development and survival.
