Protein expression and function in eukaryotic cells are tightly harmonized processes modulated by the combination of different layers of regulation, including transcription, processing, stability, and translation of messenger RNA, as well as assembly, maturation, sorting, recycling, and degradation of polypeptides. Integrating all these pathways and the protein quality control machinery, deputed to avoid the production and accumulation of aberrantly folded proteins, determines protein homeostasis. Over the last decade, the combined development of accurate time-resolved experimental techniques and efficient computer simulations has opened the possibility of investigating biological mechanisms at atomic resolution with physics-based models. A meaningful example is the reconstruction of protein folding pathways at atomic resolution, which has enabled the characterization of the folding kinetics of biologically relevant globular proteins consisting of a few hundred amino acids. Combining these innovative computational technologies with rigorous experimental approaches reveals the existence of non-native metastable states transiently appearing along the folding process of such proteins. Here, we review the primary evidence indicating that these protein folding intermediates could play roles in disparate biological processes, from the posttranslational regulation of protein expression to disease-relevant protein misfolding mechanisms. Finally, we discuss how the information encoded into protein folding pathways could be exploited to design an entirely new generation of pharmacological agents capable of promoting the selective degradation of protein targets.
