The discovery of SycO reveals a new function for type three secretion effector chaperones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Type Three Secretion (T3S) system is a device used by many Gram-negative pathogens that allows bacteria to deliver effector proteins straight into the eukaryotic cell cytosol.

Molecular chaperone genes in the sugarcane expressed sequence database (SUCEST)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2001
Some newly synthesized proteins require the assistance of molecular chaperones for their correct folding. Chaperones are also involved in the dissolution of protein aggregates making their study significant for both biotechnology and medicine and the ...

Molecular chaperones and photoreceptor function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Molecular chaperones facilitate and regulate protein conformational change within cells. This encompasses many fundamental cellular processes: including the correct folding of nascent chains; protein transport and translocation; signal transduction and ...

Molecular chaperones: guardians of the proteome in normal and disease states [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2015
Proteins must adopt a defined three-dimensional structure in order to gain functional activity, or must they? An ever-increasing number of intrinsically disordered proteins and amyloid-forming polypeptides challenge this dogma. While molecular chaperones

Keeping α-Synuclein at Bay: A More Active Role of Molecular Chaperones in Preventing Mitochondrial Interactions and Transition to Pathological States?

open access: yesLife, 2020
The property of molecular chaperones to dissolve protein aggregates of Parkinson-related α-synuclein has been known for some time. Recent findings point to an even more active role of molecular chaperones preventing the transformation of α-synuclein into

Chaperone expression profiles correlate with distinct physiological states of Plasmodium falciparum in malaria patients

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2010
Background Molecular chaperones have been shown to be important in the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and inhibition of chaperone function by pharmacological agents has been shown to abrogate parasite growth.

Molecular chaperones and their denaturing effect on client proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Advanced NMR methods combined with biophysical techniques have recently provided unprecedented insight into structure and dynamics of molecular chaperones and their interaction with client proteins.

Emerging roles of J proteins in neurodegenerative disorders

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2008
Several families of proteins called molecular chaperones comprise the cellular machinery that has evolved to maintain protein structure and eliminate misfolded proteins in the cell. In experimental animal models, chaperones have been shown to be powerful

RNA can function as molecular chaperone for RNA folding

open access: yesGiant, 2020
RNAs can mimic the information storage, replication and catalysis functions of DNAs and proteins, providing physical evidence for the widely accepted RNA world hypothesis that RNA alone constitutes earlier life forms.

Molecular Chaperones and Neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Molecular chaperones or heat-shock proteins (HSPs) play essential roles in safeguarding structural stability and preventing misfolding and aggregation of proteins, and maintaining the proteome functionality in the cell.
