The cellular response to amyloidogenic protein species involves a sophisticated HSP90-dependent conformational triage system that modulates key signaling kinases through CDC37-mediated substrate selection, fundamentally altering the protein quality control landscape. This mechanism centers on HSP90's unique ability to recognize aggregation-prone sequences through its middle domain, which contains a cryptic binding site that becomes accessible upon interaction with misfolded clients bearing expos
## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The recognition of amyloidogenic protein species by the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) chaperone network represents a sophisticated quality control mechanism that distinguishes pathological conformers from their native counterparts through the exposure of specific β-sheet propensity sequences. This molecular recognition system centers on the constitutive HSP70 isoforms HSPA8 (also known as HSC70) and the inducible HSPA1A, which function in concert with th
