Abstract
We show that heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1 or HSP27) is the downstream mediator of this effect. Disruption of the HSPB1 gene in embryonic fibroblasts with wild-type HMGB1 recapitulates the mitochondrial fragmentation, deficits in mitochondrial respiration, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthes...

Abstract
We will address how protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is achieved at the level of the cell and organism, and how the threshold of the stress response is set to detect and combat protein misfolding. For metazoans, the requirement for coordinated function and growth imposes additional constraints on...

Abstract
We performed comparative proteome analysis of lung tissue from patients with sporadic IPF (n = 14) and human donor lungs (controls, n = 10) using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-MS. Eighty-nine differentially expressed proteins were identified, from which 51 were up-regulated and 3...

We demonstrate that the M-domain is essential for protein disaggregation, but dispensable for Hsp104 ATPase- and substrate-translocating activities. Remarkably, replacing the Hsp104 M-domain with that of bacterial ClpB, and vice versa, switches species specificity so that our chimeras now cooperate...

Abstract
We observed changes in cell morphology under stress conditions. Surprisingly, in the cell, Hsp12 exists both as a soluble cytosolic protein and associated to the plasma membrane. The in vitro analysis revealed that Hsp12, unlike all other Hsps studied so far, is completely unfolded; however, in the...

Other stromal chaperones like trigger factor cannot replace cpSRP43, which implies that LHCPs require a specific chaperone. Alth...
