The chaperone-autophagy coupling hypothesis centers on the critical interaction between p62/SQSTM1 and the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) chaperone system to prevent pathological protein aggregation through enhanced autophagic clearance via chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA). Unlike proteasomal degradation, this mechanism targets larger protein complexes and early aggregation intermediates that exceed the size limitations of the 26S proteasome pore. The process involves p62's multidoma

The therapeutic hypothesis centers on the kinetic constraints governing autophagy-lysosomal degradation of pathological protein aggregates, specifically targeting the mTORC1/ULK1 autophagy initiation pathway and lysosomal processing capacity. At the molecular level, this mechanism involves mTORC1-mediated phosphorylation of ULK1 at Ser757, which inhibits autophagy initiation under nutrient-rich conditions. Upon cellular stress or aggregate accumulation, mTORC1 inhibition allows ULK1 autophosphor
