12. Membrane chaperones : protein folding in the ER membrane
Abstract : The plasma membrane (PM), comprised largely of lipids and proteins, is a dynamic structure that establishes the integrity of cells. Newly synthesized PM proteins are initially inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) prior to being targeted to the PM via the secretory pathway. Many PM proteins are polytopic, i.e. READ MORE

13. The Molecular Chaperone DNAJB6 - A Suppressor of Disease Related Amyloid Fibril Formation
Abstract : Several neurodegenerative diseases are caused by peptides or proteins forming amyloid fibrils such as the Aβ peptide involved in Alzheimer’s disease and the huntingtin exon-1 with a prolonged polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch involved in Huntington’s disease. The ability to form amyloid fibrils is an intrinsic feature in all proteins. READ MORE

14. Exploring small heat shock protein chaperones by crosslinking mass spectrometry
Abstract : Together with other molecular chaperones, small heat shock proteins are key components of the protein quality control system, which is comprised of several hundred proteins and acts to maintain proteome homeostasis in the cell. Small heat shock proteins bind unfolding proteins at an early stage, to prevent these from further unfolding and aggregating. READ MORE

15. Biophysical studies of protein folding upon interaction with molecular chaperones
Abstract : Proteins are biological macromolecules that serve all functions in cells. Every protein consists of a sequence of amino acids that is folded into a three‐dimensional structure to maintain the unique information it contains and to allow the protein to perform its specific actions.
