Explores the evolution and function of protein-repair machineries, emphasizing the role of ATP-fueled unfolding machines in preventing protein aggregation and promoting proper folding.
Explores proteostasis regulation through chaperone interactions and post-translational modifications, revealing insights into protein quality control mechanisms.
Explores the selective promiscuity in binding of the E. coli Hsp70 chaperone to unfolded or misfolded protein substrates, examining its implications in protein folding mechanisms.
