RNAi-Mediated Reverse Genetic Screen Identified Drosophila Chaperones Regulating Eye and Neuromuscular Junction Morphology

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017
Accumulation of toxic proteins in neurons has been linked with the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, which in many cases are characterized by altered neuronal function and synapse loss.

Targeting protein folding in N‐Myc‐driven medulloblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, 2023
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.

Chaperoning erythropoiesis

open access: yesBlood, 2009
AbstractMultisubunit complexes containing molecular chaperones regulate protein production, stability, and degradation in virtually every cell type. We are beginning to recognize how generalized and tissue-specific chaperones regulate specialized aspects of erythropoiesis.

Endoplasmic reticulum chaperones and their roles in the immunogenicity of cancer vaccines

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2015
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major site of passage for proteins en route to other organelles, to the cell surface, and to the extracellular space.

An atlas of chaperone–protein interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: implications to protein folding pathways in the cell

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2009
Molecular chaperones are known to be involved in many cellular functions, however, a detailed and comprehensive overview of the interactions between chaperones and their cofactors and substrates is still absent.

Cellular Chaperones As Therapeutic Targets in ALS to Restore Protein Homeostasis and Improve Cellular Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are ubiquitously expressed chaperone proteins that enable cells to cope with environmental stresses that cause misfolding and denaturation of proteins.

Autophagic and Proteasomal Mediated Removal of Mutant Androgen Receptor in Muscle Models of Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an X-linked motoneuron disease (MND) caused by a mutant androgen receptor (AR) containing an elongated polyglutamine (polyQ) tract. ARpolyQ toxicity is triggered by androgenic AR ligands, which induce aberrant

Hsp70 and Hsp110 Chaperones Promote Early Steps of Proteasome Assembly

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Whereas assembly of the 20S proteasome core particle (CP) in prokaryotes apparently occurs spontaneously, the efficiency of this process in eukaryotes relies on the dedicated assembly chaperones Ump1, Pba1-Pba2, and Pba3-Pba4.

Paradigm Shift in Drug Re-purposing From Phenalenone to Phenaleno-Furanone to Combat Multi-Drug Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Over recent years, typhoid fever has gained increasing attention with several cases reporting treatment failure due to multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi.

DnaJC7 specifically regulates tau seeding

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Neurodegenerative tauopathies are caused by accumulation of toxic tau protein assemblies. This appears to involve template-based seeding events, whereby tau monomer changes conformation and is recruited to a growing aggregate.
