The ALS‐associated E425K mutation uncouples DNAJC7 from the Hsp70 chaperone cycle

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNAJC7 is a J‐domain protein that plays a key role in protein quality control by regulating Hsp70 activity and preventing protein aggregation. We find that the ALS‐associated E425K mutation in DNAJC7 disrupts productive interaction and activation of Hsp70, thereby blocking the transfer and refolding of client proteins such as TDP‐43.

Extracellular vesicles released from melanoma cells constitutively expressing MHC class II promote immune evasion and cancer progression

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Here, we report the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from melanoma cells constitutively expressing MHC class II in the regulation of immune cell functions and melanoma metastasis. In particular, we observed an increased localization of HLA‐DRα, CAM receptors, PD‐L1, and STAT3 signaling proteins in the EVs.

ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Holding but not folding: How a single charge flip uncouples the DNAJC7‐Hsp70 relay in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this issue, Elmaleh et al. demonstrate that the E425K mutation in DNAJC7, associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, selectively abolishes one of a co‐chaperone's dual functions. High‐resolution NMR confirmed that the mutation leaves the protein's structure intact while paralyzing its communication with the Hsp70 machinery.
