Casein kinase 2 (CK2) phosphorylates HSP90α at T115 and S226, allosterically remodeling the ATP-binding pocket and N-terminal domain interface. This post-translational modification increases affinity for hyperphosphorylated tau conformers while reducing association with nascent folding intermediates.

Pathological conformers expose 'aggregation nucleation' sequences—typically 5-15 residue hydrophobic stretches with high β-sheet propensity—that are buried in native folds but become accessible during misfolding. This recognition is mediated by HSP70 isoforms including HSPA8, HSPA1A, and their J-domain co-chaperones DNAJB6 and DNAJB2. Consistent with binding studies demonstrating that HSP70 preferentially binds α-synuclein at the N-terminal and NAC amyloidogenic regions (PMID 29463785), and that
