Abstract
The activity of the Hsp70 molecular chaperone is regulated by a suite of helper co-chaperones that include J-proteins. Studies on J-proteins have historically focused on their expression, localization, and activation of Hsp70. There is growing evidence that the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of chaperones (the chaperone code) fine-tune chaperone function. This mini-review summarizes the current understanding of the role and regulation of PTMs on the major J-proteins Ydj1 and DNAJA1. Understanding these PTMs may provide novel therapeutic avenues for targeting chaperone activity in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
期刊介绍:
Cell Stress and Chaperones is an integrative journal that bridges the gap between laboratory model systems and natural populations. The journal captures the eclectic spirit of the cellular stress response field in a single, concentrated source of current information. Major emphasis is placed on the effects of climate change on individual species in the natural environment and their capacity to adapt. This emphasis expands our focus on stress biology and medicine by linking climate change effects to research on cellular stress responses of animals, micro-organisms and plants.
