TL;DR

A novel approach is presented that combines pulse metabolic labelling with SILAC and BioID mass spectrometry to temporally resolve protein-protein interactions of a co-chaperone to gain novel insights on how co-chaperone-client interactions may occur over the lifespan of a protein to preserve proteostasis.

Novel Insights into the Human Hsc70 Structure by Cross-Linking Mass Spectrometry and Molecular Modeling

The results reveal distinct ATP- and ADP-state dimer conformations that coexist in equilibrium, and demonstrate that the Hsc70 dimer population is structurally heterogeneous and depends on nucleotide state and cochaperone interactions.

Role of Nucleic Acids as Chaperones in Protein Folding

It is shown that short nucleic acids containing Gquadruplex (G4) structure can also catalyze protein folding and uncovers a previously underappreciated role for nucleic acid in proteostasis and offers a new strategy for studying nucleic acid structure-function relationship at residue level.

Navigating the oligomeric landscape of the periplasmic stress response protease-chaperone DegP with charge detection mass spectrometry

Charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) is applied to directly measure the masses of individual DegP ions, resolving the complete oligomeric distribution in the absence and presence of four clients of increasing size and further establishes CDMS as a powerful single-molecule tool for dissecting heterogeneous protein...

Identifying endogenous substrates of the 26S proteasome through site-specific photocrosslinking

Genetic code expansion is used to introduce a photo-crosslinkable unnatural amino acid into the yeast 26S proteasome and capture cellular protein substrates as they translocate through the proteasomal ATPase motor, representing an exciting avenue for probing the landscape of proteasomal substrates and its changes in re...
