The Networking of Chaperones by Co-chaperones


Cells are confronted with a variety of adverse environmental conditions such as heat shock, oxidative injury, heavy metals and glucose-depletion and pathologic states such as inflammation, tissue damage, infection, ischemia and reperfusion. To cope with this plethora of stresses, cells induce the expression of cytoprotective genes including heat shock proteins (Hsps). Many Hsps function as molecular chaperones that aid the folding, assembly and targeting of their substrate proteins. Under stress conditions, chaperones shield denatured proteins from aggregation, disassemble protein aggregates and assist protein refolding or targeting to the degradation
