G3BP1-containing stress granules localize to dendritic spines and axons under basal conditions, regulating local translation of synaptic mRNAs. Disease mutations alter this localization, causing aberrant sequestration of translation machinery (eIF4G, eIF3) in stabilized SGs. This disrupts synaptic proteostasis, leading to NMJ denervation and cognitive decline. Represents an underexplored angle addressing cell-type specificity of neurodegeneration.
K63-ubiquitination by TRIM21 prevents pathological liquid-to-solid maturation of stress granules by maintaining G3BP1 in a dynamic, less entangled state. G3BP1 ubiquitination functions as a 'dynamicity维持' signal that prevents excessive inter-molecular contacts driving LST. This mechanism is particularly relevant to neurodegeneration where persistent SGs undergo pathological maturation enriched for amyloidogenic proteins (TDP-43, FUS). The ubiquitin moiety may act as a solubility chaperone, preve
