How do clusterin's hydrophobic tails maintain accessibility for chaperone function when bound in lipoprotein complexes?

OPEN

The abstract states that hydrophobic tails remain accessible for chaperone function in lipoprotein complexes, but the structural mechanism enabling this dual functionality is not explained. Understanding this could reveal how clusterin balances its apolipoprotein and chaperone roles in vivo. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Structural analyses define the molecular basis of clusterin chaperone function. (2025, Nature structural & molecular biology, PMID:40781479)
