**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The carboxy terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP, encoded by STUB1) functions as a critical E3 ubiquitin ligase that bridges molecular chaperones to selective autophagy pathways rather than proteasomal degradation for clearance of large oligomeric protein aggregates. CHIP's U-box domain exhibits lysine-linkage specificity that is dynamically regulated by the conformational state of bound substrates and co-chaperone availability. When pathological oli
The recognition and remodeling of amyloidogenic protein species involves a sequential conformational templating mechanism mediated by HSP90-HSP70 heterocomplexes, where HSP90 serves as the primary conformational sensor while HSP70 provides the refolding machinery. This mechanism centers on HSP90's unique ability to bind partially folded client proteins through its middle domain, which recognizes the altered global fold topology that occurs when amyloidogenic segments become exposed. Upon HSP90 b
