**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
This therapeutic hypothesis targets the autophagy-lysosomal degradation pathway's kinetic limitations in clearing pathological protein aggregates, specifically focusing on the LC3-II/p62-mediated selective autophagy mechanism. At the molecular level, misfolded protein aggregates are recognized by p62/SQSTM1 adaptor proteins through their ubiquitin-binding domain (UBA), which simultaneously interact with LC3-II anchored in autophagosomal membranes via the LC
This hypothesis integrates kinetic modeling of chaperone disaggregation capacity with targeted enhancement of protein clearance through CHIP-mediated degradation coupling. The mechanism centers on the critical kinetic parameters governing Hsp70/DNAJB1 chaperone system performance, specifically the maximum velocity (Vmax) representing peak disaggregation capacity and the Km reflecting chaperone-substrate binding affinity. Under normal conditions, the chaperone system operates below saturation, ef
