The ESX-1 Substrate PPE68 Has a Key Function in ESX-1-Mediated Secretion in Mycobacterium marinum
Mycobacteria use specialized type VII secretion systems (T7SSs) to secrete proteins across their diderm cell envelope. One of the T7SS subtypes, named ESX-1, is a major virulence determinant in pathogenic species such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and ...

Molecular chaperones and selection against mutations
Background Molecular chaperones help to restore the native states of proteins after their destabilization by external stress. It has been proposed that another function of chaperones is to maintain the activity of proteins destabilized by mutation ...

Hsp70 in mitochondrial biogenesis [PDF]
The family of hsp70 (70 kilodalton heat shock protein) molecular chaperones plays an essential and diverse role in cellular physiology, Hsp70 proteins appear to elicit their effects by interacting with polypeptides that present domains which exhibit non ...

Targeting protein folding in N‐Myc‐driven medulloblastoma
Selective targeting of N‐Myc‐driven Sonic hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastoma has been a challenge for many years and, despite decades of research, few targeted therapy opportunities exist. Recently, Kuzuoglu‐Ozturk et al.

The histone chaperones Vps75 and Nap1 form ring-like, tetrameric structures in solution [PDF]
NAP-1 fold histone chaperones play an important role in escorting histones to and from sites of nucleosome assembly and disassembly. The two NAP-1 fold histone chaperones in budding yeast, Vps75 and Nap1, have previously been crystalized in a ...

Regulation of CLC-1 chloride channel biosynthesis by FKBP8 and Hsp90β. [PDF]
Mutations in human CLC-1 chloride channel are associated with the skeletal muscle disorder myotonia congenita. The disease-causing mutant A531V manifests enhanced proteasomal degradation of CLC-1.

Protein trafficking in the mitochondrial intermembrane space: mechanisms and links to human disease [PDF]
Mitochondria fulfill a diverse range of functions in cells including oxygen metabolism, homeostasis of inorganic ions and execution of apoptosis. Biogenesis of mitochondria relies on protein import pathways that are ensured by dedicated multiprotein ...
