The regulatory role of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone proteins in neurodevelopment

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest tubular reticular organelle spanning the cell. As the main site of protein synthesis, Ca2+ homeostasis maintenance and lipid metabolism, the ER plays a variety of essential roles in eukaryotic cells, with ER ...

Hsp70 and Hsp40 inhibit an inter-domain interaction necessary for transcriptional activity in the androgen receptor. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Molecular chaperones such as Hsp40 and Hsp70 hold the androgen receptor (AR) in an inactive conformation. They are released in the presence of androgens, enabling transactivation and causing the receptor to become aggregation-prone.

Myelin pathology: Involvement of molecular chaperones and the promise of chaperonotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The process of axon myelination involves various proteins including molecular chaperones. Myelin alteration is a common feature in neurological diseases due to structural and functional abnormalities of one or more myelin proteins.

The landscape of molecular chaperones across human tissues reveals a layered architecture of core and variable chaperones

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The sensitivity of the protein-folding environment to chaperone disruption can be highly tissue-specific. Yet, the organization of the chaperone system across physiological human tissues has received little attention.

Structural and functional characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa CupB chaperones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an important human pathogen, is estimated to be responsible for,10% of nosocomial infections worldwide. The pathogenesis of P. aeruginosa starts from its colonization in the damaged tissue or medical devices (e. g.

Hsp70 in mitochondrial biogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
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 ...
