Targeting Chaperone/Co-Chaperone Interactions with Small Molecules: A Novel Approach to Tackle Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesCells, 2021
The dysfunction of the proteostasis network is a molecular hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Molecular chaperones are a major component of the

Modulation of protein fate decision by small molecules: targeting molecular chaperone machinery

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2020
Modulation of protein fate decision and protein homeostasis plays a significant role in altering the protein level, which acts as an orientation to develop drugs with new mechanisms.

Cytosolic chaperones influence the fate of a toxin dislocated from the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The plant cytotoxin ricin enters target mammalian cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis and undergoes retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Molecular Chaperones: Molecular Assembly Line Brings Metabolism and Immunity in Shape

open access: yesMetabolites, 2020
Molecular chaperones are a set of conserved proteins that have evolved to assist the folding of many newly synthesized proteins by preventing their misfolding under conditions such as elevated temperatures, hypoxia, acidosis and nutrient deprivation ...

Molecular Chaperone Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Extracellular heat shock proteins (HSP) play important roles in cell signaling and immunity. Many of these effects are mediated by surface receptors expressed on a wide range of cell types. We have investigated the nature of such proteins by cloning candidate receptors into cells (CHO-K1) with the rare property of being null for HSP binding. Using this

Recent advances in understanding catalysis of protein folding by molecular chaperones

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2020
Molecular chaperones are highly conserved proteins that promote proper folding of other proteins in vivo. Diverse chaperone systems assist de novo protein folding and trafficking, the assembly of oligomeric complexes, and recovery from stress‐induced ...

Human molecular chaperones share with SARS-CoV-2 antigenic epitopes potentially capable of eliciting autoimmunity against endothelial cells: possible role of molecular mimicry in COVID-19

open access: yesCell stress & chaperones (Print), 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of COVID-19 disease, has the potential to elicit autoimmunity because mimicry of human molecular chaperones by viral proteins.

Molecular Chaperones: A Double-Edged Sword in Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020
Aberrant accumulation of misfolded proteins into amyloid deposits is a hallmark in many age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...
