Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:121. [PMID: 38229303 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12863-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
The model yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a popular object for both fundamental and applied research, including the development of biosensors and industrial production of pharmaceutical compounds. However, despite multiple studies exploring S. cerevisiae transcriptional response to various substances, this response is unknown for some substances produced in yeast, such as D-lactic acid (DLA). Here, we explore the transcriptional response of the BY4742 strain to a wide range of DLA concentrations (from 0.05 to 45 mM), and compare it to the response to 45 mM L-lactic acid (LLA). We recorded a response to 5 and 45 mM DLA (125 and 113 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively; > 50% shared) and a less pronounced response to 45 mM LLA (63 DEGs; > 30% shared with at least one DLA treatment). Our data did not reveal natural yeast promoters quantitatively sensing DLA but provide the first description of the transcriptome-wide response to DLA and enrich our understanding of the LLA response. Some DLA-activated genes were indeed related to lactate metabolism, as well as iron uptake and cell wall structure. Additional analyses showed that at least some of these genes were activated only by acidic form of DLA but not its salt, revealing the role of pH. The list of LLA-responsive genes was similar to those published previously and also included iron uptake and cell wall genes, as well as genes responding to other weak acids. These data might be instrumental for optimization of lactate production in yeast and yeast co-cultivation with lactic acid bacteria. KEY POINTS: • We present the first dataset on yeast transcriptional response to DLA. • Differential gene expression was correlated with yeast growth inhibition. • The transcriptome response to DLA was richer in comparison to LLA.

MediatorWeb: a protein-protein interaction network database for the RNA polymerase II Mediator complex. FEBS J 2024. [PMID: 38975839 DOI: 10.1111/febs.17225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the Mediator complex is very tightly regulated and depends on different developmental and environmental cues. Here, we present an interactive platform for comparative analysis of the Mediator subunits from humans, baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and model plant Arabidopsis thaliana in a user-friendly web-interface database called MediatorWeb. MediatorWeb provides an interface to visualize and analyze the PPI network of Mediator subunits. The database facilitates downloading the untargeted and unweighted network of Mediator complex, its submodules, and individual Mediator subunits to better visualize the importance of individual Mediator subunits or their submodules. Further, MediatorWeb offers network visualization of the Mediator complex and interacting proteins that are functionally annotated. This feature provides clues to understand functions of Mediator subunits in different processes. In an additional tab, MediatorWeb provides quick access to secondary and tertiary structures, as well as residue-level contact information for Mediator subunits in each of the three model organisms. Another useful feature of MediatorWeb is detection of interologs based on orthologous analyses, which can provide clues to understand the functions of Mediator complex in less explored kingdoms. Thus, MediatorWeb and its features can help the user to understand the role of Mediator complex and its subunits in the transcription regulation of gene expression.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are at the heart of the molecular landscape permeating life. Proteomics studies can explore this protein interaction landscape using mass spectrometry (MS). Thanks to their high sensitivity, mass spectrometers can easily identify thousands of proteins within a single sample, but that same sensitivity generates tangled spiderwebs of data that hide biologically relevant findings. So, what does a researcher do when she finds herself walking into spiderwebs? In a field focused on discovery, MS data require rigor in their analysis, experimental validation, or a combination of both. In this Review, we provide a brief primer on MS-based experimental methods to identify PPIs. We discuss approaches to analyze the resulting data and remove the proteomic background. We consider the advantages between comprehensive and targeted studies. We also discuss how scoring might be improved through AI-based protein structure information. Women have been essential to the development of proteomics, so we will specifically highlight work by women that has made this field thrive in recent years.

Abstract
The successful expression and secretion of recombinant proteins in cell factories significantly depend on the correct folding of nascent peptides, primarily achieved through disulfide bond formation. Thus, optimizing cellular protein folding is crucial, especially for proteins with complex spatial structures. In this study, protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) from various species were introduced into Saccharomyces cerevisiae to facilitate proper disulfide bond formation and enhance recombinant protein secretion. The impacts of these PDIs on recombinant protein production and yeast growth metabolism were evaluated by substituting the endogenous PDI1. Heterologous PDIs cannot fully compensate the endogenous PDI. Furthermore, protein folding mediators, PDI and ER oxidoreductase 1 (Ero1), from different species were used to increase the production of complex human serum albumin (HSA) fusion proteins. The validated folding mediators were then introduced into unfolded protein response (UPR)-optimized strains, resulting in a 7.8-fold increase in amylase-HSA and an 18.2-fold increase in albiglutide compared with the control strain. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing protein folding and expressing HSA-based drugs.

Abstract
The essential stress-responsive chaperone Hsp90 impacts development and adaptation from microbes to humans. Yet despite evidence of its role in evolution, pathogenesis, and oncogenic transformation, the molecular mechanisms by which Hsp90 alters the consequences of mutations remain vigorously debated. Here we exploit the power of nucleotide-resolution genetic mapping in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to uncover more than 1,000 natural variant-to-phenotype associations governed by this molecular chaperone. Strikingly, Hsp90 more frequently modified the phenotypic effects of cis-regulatory variation than variants that altered protein sequence. Moreover, these interactions made the largest contribution to Hsp90-dependent heredity. Nearly all interacting variants-both regulatory and protein-coding-fell within clients of Hsp90 or targets of its direct binding partners. Hsp90 activity affected mutations in evolutionarily young genes, segmental deletions, and heterozygotes, highlighting its influence on variation central to evolutionary novelty. Reconciling the diverse epistatic effects of this chaperone, synthetic transcriptional regulation and reconstructions of natural alleles by genome editing revealed a central role for Hsp90 in regulating the fundamental relationship between activity and phenotype. Our findings establish that non-coding variation is a core driver of Hsp90's influence on heredity, offering a mechanistic explanation for the chaperone's strong effects on evolution and development across species.

Effects of HSP70 chaperones Ssa1 and Ssa2 on Ste5 scaffold and the mating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0289339.

Abstract
Ste5 is a prototype of scaffold proteins that regulate activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades in all eukaryotes. Ste5 associates with many proteins including Gβγ (Ste4), Ste11 MAPKKK, Ste7 MAPKK, Fus3 and Kss1 MAPKs, Bem1, Cdc24. Here we show that Ste5 also associates with heat shock protein 70 chaperone (Hsp70) Ssa1 and that Ssa1 and its ortholog Ssa2 are together important for Ste5 function and efficient mating responses. The majority of purified overexpressed Ste5 associates with Ssa1. Loss of Ssa1 and Ssa2 has deleterious effects on Ste5 abundance, integrity, and localization particularly when Ste5 is expressed at native levels. The status of Ssa1 and Ssa2 influences Ste5 electrophoresis mobility and formation of high molecular weight species thought to be phosphorylated, ubiquitinylated and aggregated and lower molecular weight fragments. A Ste5 VWA domain mutant with greater propensity to form punctate foci has reduced predicted propensity to bind Ssa1 near the mutation sites and forms more punctate foci when Ssa1 Is overexpressed, supporting a dynamic protein quality control relationship between Ste5 and Ssa1. Loss of Ssa1 and Ssa2 reduces activation of Fus3 and Kss1 MAPKs and FUS1 gene expression and impairs mating shmoo morphogenesis. Surprisingly, ssa1, ssa2, ssa3 and ssa4 single, double and triple mutants can still mate, suggesting compensatory mechanisms exist for folding. Additional analysis suggests Ssa1 is the major Hsp70 chaperone for the mating and invasive growth pathways and reveals several Hsp70-Hsp90 chaperone-network proteins required for mating morphogenesis.

Abstract
Folding of newly synthesized proteins poses challenges for a functional proteome. Dedicated protein quality control (PQC) systems either promote the folding of nascent polypeptides at ribosomes or, if this fails, ensure their degradation. Although well studied for cytosolic protein biogenesis, it is not understood how these processes work for mitochondrially encoded proteins, key subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. Here, we identify dedicated hubs in proximity to mitoribosomal tunnel exits coordinating mitochondrial protein biogenesis and quality control. Conserved prohibitin (PHB)/m-AAA protease supercomplexes and the availability of assembly chaperones determine the fate of newly synthesized proteins by molecular triaging. The localization of these competing activities in the vicinity of the mitoribosomal tunnel exit allows for a prompt decision on whether newly synthesized proteins are fed into OXPHOS assembly or are degraded.

Abstract
Yeast is a valuable model organism for their ease of genetic manipulation, rapid growth rate, and relative similarity to higher eukaryotes. Historically, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has played a major role in discovering the function of complex proteins and pathways that are important for human health and disease. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone responsible for the stabilization and activation of hundreds of integral members of the cellular signaling network. Much important structural and functional work, including many seminal discoveries in Hsp90 biology are the direct result of work carried out in S. cerevisiae. Here, we have provided a brief overview of the S. cerevisiae model system and described how this eukaryotic model organism has been successfully applied to the study of Hsp90 chaperone function.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative tauopathies are caused by accumulation of toxic tau protein assemblies. This appears to involve template-based seeding events, whereby tau monomer changes conformation and is recruited to a growing aggregate. Several large families of chaperone proteins, including Hsp70s and J domain proteins (JDPs), cooperate to regulate the folding of intracellular proteins such as tau, but the factors that coordinate this activity are not well known. The JDP DnaJC7 binds tau and reduces its intracellular aggregation. However, it is unknown whether this is specific to DnaJC7 or if other JDPs might be similarly involved. We used proteomics within a cell model to determine that DnaJC7 co-purified with insoluble tau and colocalized with intracellular aggregates. We individually knocked out every possible JDP and tested the effect on intracellular aggregation and seeding. DnaJC7 knockout decreased aggregate clearance and increased intracellular tau seeding. This depended on the ability of the J domain (JD) of DnaJC7 to stimulate Hsp70 ATPase activity, as JD mutations that block this interaction abrogated the protective activity. Disease-associated mutations in the JD and substrate binding site of DnaJC7 also abolished its protective activity. DnaJC7 thus specifically regulates tau aggregation in cooperation with Hsp70.

Abstract
Prions are transmissible self-perpetuating protein isoforms associated with diseases and heritable traits. Yeast prions and non-transmissible protein aggregates (mnemons) are frequently based on cross-β ordered fibrous aggregates (amyloids). The formation and propagation of yeast prions are controlled by chaperone machinery. Ribosome-associated chaperone Hsp70-Ssb is known (and confirmed here) to modulate formation and propagation of the prion form of the Sup35 protein [PSI+]. Our new data show that both formation and mitotic transmission of the stress-inducible prion form of the Lsb2 protein ([LSB+]) are also significantly increased in the absence of Ssb. Notably, heat stress leads to a massive accumulation of [LSB+] cells in the absence of Ssb, implicating Ssb as a major downregulator of the [LSB+]-dependent memory of stress. Moreover, the aggregated form of Gγ subunit Ste18, [STE+], behaving as a non-heritable mnemon in the wild-type strain, is generated more efficiently and becomes heritable in the absence of Ssb. Lack of Ssb also facilitates mitotic transmission, while lack of the Ssb cochaperone Hsp40-Zuo1 facilitates both spontaneous formation and mitotic transmission of the Ure2 prion, [URE3]. These results demonstrate that Ssb is a general modulator of cytosolic amyloid aggregation, whose effect is not restricted only to [PSI+].

Abstract
The assembly of ribosomal subunits is a highly orchestrated process that involves a huge cohort of accessory factors. Most eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis factors were first identified by genetic screens and proteomic approaches of pre-ribosomal particles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Later, research on human ribosome synthesis not only demonstrated that the requirement for many of these factors is conserved in evolution, but also revealed the involvement of additional players, reflecting a more complex assembly pathway in mammalian cells. Yet, it remained a challenge for the field to assign a function to many of the identified factors and to reveal their molecular mode of action. Over the past decade, structural, biochemical, and cellular studies have largely filled this gap in knowledge and led to a detailed understanding of the molecular role that many of the players have during the stepwise process of ribosome maturation. Such detailed knowledge of the function of ribosome biogenesis factors will be key to further understand and better treat diseases linked to disturbed ribosome assembly, including ribosomopathies, as well as different types of cancer.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones of the Hsp70 family are key components of the cellular protein-folding machinery. Substrate folding is accomplished by iterative cycles of ATP binding, hydrolysis, and release. The ATPase activity of Hsp70 is regulated by two main classes of cochaperones: J-domain proteins stimulate ATPase hydrolysis by Hsp70, while nucleotide exchange factors (NEFs) facilitate the conversion from the ADP-bound to the ATP-bound state, thus closing the chaperone folding cycle. NEF function can additionally be antagonized by ADP dissociation inhibitors. Beginning with the discovery of the prototypical bacterial NEF, GrpE, a large diversity of nucleotide exchange factors for Hsp70 have been identified, connecting it to a multitude of cellular processes in the eukaryotic cell. Here we review recent advances toward structure and function of nucleotide exchange factors from the Hsp110/Grp170, HspBP1/Sil1, and BAG domain protein families and discuss how these cochaperones connect protein folding with cellular quality control and degradation pathways.

Abstract
Oligomeric proteins are central to cellular life and the duplication and divergence of their genes is a key driver of evolutionary innovations. The duplication of a gene coding for an oligomeric protein has numerous possible outcomes, which motivates questions on the relationship between structural and functional divergence. How do protein oligomeric states diversify after gene duplication? In the simple case of duplication of a homo-oligomeric protein gene, what properties can influence the fate of descendant paralogs toward forming independent homomers or maintaining their interaction as a complex? Furthermore, how are functional innovations associated with the diversification of oligomeric states? Here, we review recent literature and present specific examples in an attempt to illustrate and answer these questions.

Abstract
The chaperonins are ubiquitous and essential nanomachines that assist in protein folding in an ATP-driven manner. They consist of two back-to-back stacked oligomeric rings with cavities in which protein (un)folding can take place in a shielding environment. This review focuses on GroEL from Escherichia coli and the eukaryotic chaperonin-containing t-complex polypeptide 1, which differ considerably in their reaction mechanisms despite sharing a similar overall architecture. Although chaperonins feature in many current biochemistry textbooks after being studied intensively for more than three decades, key aspects of their reaction mechanisms remain under debate and are discussed in this review. In particular, it is unclear whether a universal reaction mechanism operates for all substrates and whether it is passive, i.e., aggregation is prevented but the folding pathway is unaltered, or active. It is also unclear how chaperonin clients are distinguished from nonclients and what are the precise roles of the cofactors with which chaperonins interact. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Biophysics, Volume 51 is May 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
The prevailing current view of protein folding is the thermodynamic hypothesis, under which the native folded conformation of a protein corresponds to the global minimum of Gibbs free energy G. We question this concept and show that the empirical evidence behind the thermodynamic hypothesis of folding is far from strong. Furthermore, physical theory-based approaches to the prediction of protein folds and their folding pathways so far have invariably failed except for some very small proteins, despite decades of intensive theory development and the enormous increase of computer power. The recent spectacular successes in protein structure prediction owe to evolutionary modeling of amino acid sequence substitutions enhanced by deep learning methods, but even these breakthroughs provide no information on the protein folding mechanisms and pathways. We discuss an alternative view of protein folding, under which the native state of most proteins does not occupy the global free energy minimum, but rather, a local minimum on a fluctuating free energy landscape. We further argue that ΔG of folding is likely to be positive for the majority of proteins, which therefore fold into their native conformations only through interactions with the energy-dependent molecular machinery of living cells, in particular, the translation system and chaperones. Accordingly, protein folding should be modeled as it occurs in vivo, that is, as a non-equilibrium, active, energy-dependent process.

Abstract
Prefoldins (PFDNs) are evolutionary conserved co-chaperones, initially discovered in archaea but universally present in eukaryotes. PFDNs are prevalently organized into hetero-hexameric complexes. Although they have been overlooked since their discovery and their functions remain elusive, several reports indicate they act as co-chaperones escorting misfolded or non-native proteins to group II chaperonins. Unlike the eukaryotic PFDNs which interact with cytoskeletal components, the archaeal PFDNs can bind and stabilize a wide range of substrates, possibly due to their great structural diversity. The discovery of the unconventional RPB5 interactor (URI) PFDN-like complex (UPC) suggests that PFDNs have versatile functions and are required for different cellular processes, including an important role in cancer. Here, we summarize their functions across different species. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis of PFDNs genomic alterations across cancer types by using large-scale cancer genomic data indicates that PFDNs are a new class of non-mutated proteins significantly overexpressed in some cancer types.

Abstract
Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a central regulator of cellular proteostasis. It stabilizes numerous proteins that are involved in fundamental processes of life, including cell growth, cell-cycle progression and the environmental response. In addition to stabilizing proteins, Hsp90 governs gene expression and controls the release of cryptic genetic variation. Given its central role in evolution and development, it is important to identify proteins and genes that interact with Hsp90. This requires sophisticated genetic and biochemical tools, including extensive mutant collections, suitable epitope tags, proteomics approaches and Hsp90-specific pharmacological inhibitors for chemogenomic screens. These usually only exist in model organisms, such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yet, the importance of other fungal species, such as Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans, as serious human pathogens accelerated the development of genetic tools to study their virulence and stress response pathways. These tools can also be exploited to map Hsp90 interaction networks. Here, we review tools and techniques for Hsp90 network mapping available in different fungi and provide a summary of existing mapping efforts. Mapping Hsp90 networks in fungal species spanning >500 million years of evolution provides a unique vantage point, allowing tracking of the evolutionary history of eukaryotic Hsp90 networks.

Abstract
The protein folding problem was first articulated as question of how order arose from disorder in proteins: How did the various native structures of proteins arise from interatomic driving forces encoded within their amino acid sequences, and how did they fold so fast? These matters have now been largely resolved by theory and statistical mechanics combined with experiments. There are general principles. Chain randomness is overcome by solvation-based codes. And in the needle-in-a-haystack metaphor, native states are found efficiently because protein haystacks (conformational ensembles) are funnel-shaped. Order-disorder theory has now grown to encompass a large swath of protein physical science across biology.

Abstract
Molecular chaperone networks fulfill complex roles in protein homeostasis and are essential for maintaining cell health. Hsp40s (commonly referred to as J-proteins) have critical roles in development and are associated with a variety of human diseases, yet little is known regarding the J-proteins with respect to the post-transcriptional mechanisms that regulate their expression. With relatively small alterations in their abundance and stoichiometry altering their activity, post-transcriptional regulation potentially has significant impact on the functions of J-proteins. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large group of non-coding RNAs that form a complex regulatory network impacting gene expression. Here we review and investigate the current knowledge and potential intersection of miRNA regulatory networks with the J-Protein chaperone network. Analysis of datasets from the current version of TargetScan revealed a great number of predicted microRNAs targeting J-proteins compared to the limited reports of interactions to date. There are likely unstudied regulatory interactions that influence chaperone biology contained within our analysis. We go on to present some criteria for prioritizing candidate interactions including potential cooperative targeting of J-Proteins by multiple miRNAs. In summary, we offer a view on the scope of regulation of J-Proteins through miRNAs with the aim of guiding future investigations by identifying key regulatory nodes within these two complex cellular networks.

Abstract
Histoplasma capsulatum is a thermally dimorphic fungus distributed worldwide, but with the highest incidence in the Americas within specific geographic areas, such as the Mississippi River Valley and regions in Latin America. This fungus is the etiologic agent of histoplasmosis, an important life-threatening systemic mycosis. Dimorphism is an important feature for fungal survival in different environments and is related to the virulence of H. capsulatum, and essential to the establishment of infection. Proteomic profiles have made important contributions to the knowledge of metabolism and pathogenicity in several biological models. However, H. capsulatum proteome studies have been underexplored. In the present study, we report the first proteomic comparison between the mycelium and the yeast cells of H. capsulatum. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was used to evaluate the proteomic profile of the two phases of H. capsulatum growth, mycelium, and yeast. In summary, 214 and 225 proteins were only detected/or preferentially abundant in mycelium or yeast cells, respectively. In mycelium, enzymes related to the glycolytic pathway and to the alcoholic fermentation occurred in greater abundance, suggesting a higher use of anaerobic pathways for energy production. In yeast cells, proteins related to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and response to temperature stress were in high abundance. Proteins related to oxidative stress response or involved with cell wall metabolism were identified with differential abundance in both conditions. Proteomic data validation was performed by enzymatic activity determination, Western blot assays, or immunofluorescence microscopy. These experiments corroborated, directly or indirectly, the abundance of isocitrate lyase, 2-methylcitrate synthase, catalase B, and mannosyl-oligosaccharide-1,2-alpha-mannosidase in the mycelium and heat shock protein (HSP) 30, HSP60, glucosamine-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase, glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase, and N-acetylglucosamine-phosphate mutase in yeast cells. The proteomic profile-associated functional classification analyses of proteins provided new and interesting information regarding the differences in metabolism between the two distinct growth forms of H. capsulatum.

Abstract
The heat shock proteins (HSPs) function as chaperones to facilitate proper folding and modification of proteins and are of particular importance when organisms are subjected to unfavourable conditions. The human fungal pathogens are subjected to such conditions within the context of infection as they are exposed to human body temperature as well as the host immune response. Herein, the roles of the major classes of HSPs are briefly reviewed and their known contributions in human fungal pathogens are described with a focus on Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus. The Hsp90s and Hsp70s in human fungal pathogens broadly contribute to thermotolerance, morphological changes required for virulence, and tolerance to antifungal drugs. There are also examples of J domain co-chaperones and small HSPs influencing the elaboration of virulence factors in human fungal pathogens. However, there are diverse members in these groups of chaperones and there is still much to be uncovered about their contributions to pathogenesis. These HSPs do not act in isolation, but rather they form a network with one another. Interactions between chaperones define their specific roles and enhance their protein folding capabilities. Recent efforts to characterize these HSP networks in human fungal pathogens have revealed that there are unique interactions relevant to these pathogens, particularly under stress conditions. The chaperone networks in the fungal pathogens are also emerging as key coordinators of pathogenesis and antifungal drug tolerance, suggesting that their disruption is a promising strategy for the development of antifungal therapy.

Abstract
N-terminal (Nt) acetylation is a highly prevalent co-translational protein modification in eukaryotes, catalyzed by at least five Nt acetyltransferases (Nats) with differing specificities. Nt acetylation has been implicated in protein quality control, but its broad biological significance remains elusive. We investigate the roles of the two major Nats of S. cerevisiae, NatA and NatB, by performing transcriptome, translatome, and proteome profiling of natAΔ and natBΔ mutants. Our results reveal a range of NatA- and NatB-specific phenotypes. NatA is implicated in systemic adaptation control, because natAΔ mutants display altered expression of transposons, sub-telomeric genes, pheromone response genes, and nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. NatB predominantly affects protein folding, because natBΔ mutants, to a greater extent than natA mutants, accumulate protein aggregates, induce stress responses, and display reduced fitness in the absence of the ribosome-associated chaperone Ssb. These phenotypic differences indicate that controlling Nat activities may serve to elicit distinct cellular responses.

Abstract
Integrated regulatory networks can be powerful tools to examine and test properties of cellular systems, such as modelling environmental effects on the molecular bioeconomy, where protein levels are altered in response to changes in growth conditions. Although extensive regulatory pathways and protein interaction data sets exist which represent such networks, few have formally considered quantitative proteomics data to validate and extend them. We generate and consider such data here using a label-free proteomics strategy to quantify alterations in protein abundance for S. cerevisiae when grown on minimal media using glucose, galactose, maltose and trehalose as sole carbon sources. Using a high quality-controlled subset of proteins observed to be differentially abundant, we constructed a proteome-informed network, comprising 1850 transcription factor interactions and 37 chaperone interactions, which defines the major changes in the cellular proteome when growing under different carbon sources. Analysis of the differentially abundant proteins involved in the regulatory network pointed to their significant roles in specific metabolic pathways and function, including glucose homeostasis, amino acid biosynthesis, and carbohydrate metabolic process. We noted strong statistical enrichment in the differentially abundant proteome of targets of known transcription factors associated with stress responses and altered carbon metabolism. This shows how such integrated analysis can lend further experimental support to annotated regulatory interactions, since the proteomic changes capture both magnitude and direction of gene expression change at the level of the affected proteins. Overall this study highlights the power of quantitative proteomics to help define regulatory systems pertinent to environmental conditions.

Abstract
Biological processes are regulated by intermolecular interactions and chemical modifications that do not affect protein levels, thus escaping detection in classical proteomic screens. We demonstrate here that a global protein structural readout based on limited proteolysis-mass spectrometry (LiP-MS) detects many such functional alterations, simultaneously and in situ, in bacteria undergoing nutrient adaptation and in yeast responding to acute stress. The structural readout, visualized as structural barcodes, captured enzyme activity changes, phosphorylation, protein aggregation, and complex formation, with the resolution of individual regulated functional sites such as binding and active sites. Comparison with prior knowledge, including other ‘omics data, showed that LiP-MS detects many known functional alterations within well-studied pathways. It suggested distinct metabolite-protein interactions and enabled identification of a fructose-1,6-bisphosphate-based regulatory mechanism of glucose uptake in E. coli. The structural readout dramatically increases classical proteomics coverage, generates mechanistic hypotheses, and paves the way for in situ structural systems biology. Dynamic structural proteomic screens detect functional changes at high resolution Detect enzyme activity, phosphorylation, and molecular interactions in situ Generate new molecular hypotheses and increase functional proteomics coverage Enabled discovery of a regulatory mechanism of glucose uptake in E. coli

Abstract
Cells adapt to conditions that compromise protein conformational stability by activating various stress response pathways, but the mechanisms used in sensing misfolded proteins remain unclear. Moreover, aggregates of disease proteins often fail to induce a productive stress response. Here, using a yeast model of polyQ protein aggregation, we identified Sis1, an essential Hsp40 co-chaperone of Hsp70, as a critical sensor of proteotoxic stress. At elevated levels, Sis1 prevented the formation of dense polyQ inclusions and directed soluble polyQ oligomers towards the formation of permeable condensates. Hsp70 accumulated in a liquid-like state within this polyQ meshwork, resulting in a potent activation of the HSF1 dependent stress response. Sis1, and the homologous DnaJB6 in mammalian cells, also regulated the magnitude of the cellular heat stress response, suggesting a general role in sensing protein misfolding. Sis1/DnaJB6 functions as a limiting regulator to enable a dynamic stress response and avoid hypersensitivity to environmental changes.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), responsible for processing approximately one-third of the human proteome including most secreted and membrane proteins, plays a pivotal role in protein homeostasis (proteostasis). Dysregulation of ER proteostasis has been implicated in a number of disease states. As such, continued efforts are directed at elucidating mechanisms of ER protein quality control which are mediated by transient and dynamic protein-protein interactions with molecular chaperones, co-chaperones, protein folding and trafficking factors that take place in and around the ER. Technological advances in mass spectrometry have played a pivotal role in characterizing and understanding these protein-protein interactions that dictate protein quality control mechanisms. Here, we highlight the recent progress from mass spectrometry-based investigation of ER protein quality control in revealing the topological arrangement of the proteostasis network, stress response mechanisms that adjust the ER proteostasis capacity, and disease specific changes in proteostasis network engagement. We close by providing a brief outlook on underexplored areas of ER proteostasis where mass spectrometry is a tool uniquely primed to further expand our understanding of the regulation and coordination of protein quality control processes in diverse diseases.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones as specialized protein quality control enzymes form the core of cellular protein homeostasis. How chaperones selectively interact with their substrate proteins thus allocate their overall limited capacity remains poorly understood. Here, I present an integrated analysis of sequence and structural determinants that define interactions of protein domains as the basic protein folding unit with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hsp70 Ssb. Structural homologs of single-domain proteins that differentially interact with Ssb for de novo folding were found to systematically differ in complexity of their folding landscapes, selective use of nonoptimal codons, and presence of short discriminative sequences, thus highlighting pervasive trade-offs in chaperone-assisted protein folding landscapes. However, short discriminative sequences were found to contribute by far the strongest signal toward explaining Ssb interactions. This observation suggested that some chaperone interactions may be directly programmed in the amino acid sequences rather than responding to folding challenges, possibly for regulatory advantages.

Abstract
The 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) family of chaperones are the front line of protection from stress-induced misfolding and aggregation of polypeptides in most organisms and are responsible for promoting the stability, folding, and degradation of clients to maintain cellular protein homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate quantitative identification of HSP70 and 71 kDa heat shock cognate (HSC70) clients using a ubiquitin-mediated proximity tagging strategy and show that, despite their high degree of similarity, these enzymes have largely nonoverlapping specificities. Both proteins show a preference for association with newly synthesized polypeptides, but each responds differently to changes in the stoichiometry of proteins in obligate multi-subunit complexes. In addition, expression of an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutant protein induces changes in HSP70 and HSC70 client association and aggregation toward polypeptides with predicted disorder, indicating that there are global effects from a single misfolded protein that extend to many clients within chaperone networks. Together these findings show that the ubiquitin-activated interaction trap (UBAIT) fusion system can efficiently isolate the complex interactome of HSP chaperone family proteins under normal and stress conditions. Development of a ubiquitin-based system to comprehensively identify substrates of HSP70 enzymes in human cells reveals that constitutive HSC70 and stress-induced HSP70 have different binding preferences and respond dynamically to changes in misfolded protein levels.

Abstract
Aging is characterized by the progressive decline of physiology at the cell, tissue and organism level, leading to an increased risk of mortality. Proteotoxic stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and genomic instability are considered major universal drivers of cell aging, and accumulating evidence establishes clear biunivocal relationships among these key hallmarks. In this regard, the finite lifespan of the budding yeast, together with the extensive armamentarium of available analytical tools, has made this single cell eukaryote a key model to study aging at molecular and cellular levels. Here we review the current data that link proteostasis to cell cycle progression in the budding yeast, focusing on senescence as an inherent phenotype displayed by aged cells. Recent advances in high-throughput systems to study yeast mother cells while they replicate are providing crucial information on aging-related processes and their temporal interdependencies at a systems level. In our view, the available data point to the existence of multiple feedback mechanisms among the major causal factors of aging, which would converge into the loss of proteostasis as a nodal driver of cell senescence and death.

Abstract
Codon usage bias is an important genomic phenomenon, where highly expressed genes use optimal codons for smoother translation with high yield, facilitated by the cognate tRNAs. Here, we presented the tRNA co-adaptation index (co-AI) by correlating tRNA gene copy number and codon composition in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We observed that this co-AI is positively correlated with protein abundance and translation rate. Considering nucleotide substitutions, co-AI influences synonymous substitutions more than gene expression and protein abundance, the most important determinants of evolutionary rate. Co-AI correlates positively with mRNA secondary structure stability and mRNA half-life, which may lead to protein accumulation under high co-AI. However, the highly expressed proteins encoded by high co-AI genes are assisted by molecular chaperones to attain their proper functional conformation and prevent accumulation.

Abstract
Chaperones are important molecular machinery that assists proteins to attain their native three-dimensional structure crucial for function. Earlier studies using experimental evolution showed that chaperones impose a relaxation of sequence constraints on their "client" proteins, which may lead to the fixation of slightly deleterious mutations on the latter. However, we hypothesized that such a phenomenon might be harmful to the organism in a natural physiological condition. In this study, we investigated the evolutionary rates of chaperone client and non-client proteins in five model organisms from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic lineages. Our study reveals a slower evolutionary rate of chaperone client proteins in all five organisms. Additionally, the slower folding rate and lower aggregation propensity of chaperone client proteins reveal that the chaperone may play an essential role in rescuing the slightly disadvantageous effects due to random mutations and subsequent protein misfolding. However, the fixation of such mutations is less likely to be selected in the natural population.

Abstract
Protein stability is a major constraint on protein evolution. Molecular chaperones, also known as heat-shock proteins, can relax this constraint and promote protein evolution by diminishing the deleterious effect of mutations on protein stability and folding. This effect, however, has only been stablished for a few chaperones. Here, we use a comprehensive chaperone–protein interaction network to study the effect of all yeast chaperones on the evolution of their protein substrates, that is, their clients. In particular, we analyze how yeast chaperones affect the evolutionary rates of their clients at two very different evolutionary time scales. We first study the effect of chaperone-mediated folding on protein evolution over the evolutionary divergence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. paradoxus. We then test whether yeast chaperones have left a similar signature on the patterns of standing genetic variation found in modern wild and domesticated strains of S. cerevisiae. We find that genes encoding chaperone clients have diverged faster than genes encoding non-client proteins when controlling for their number of protein–protein interactions. We also find that genes encoding client proteins have accumulated more intraspecific genetic diversity than those encoding non-client proteins. In a number of multivariate analyses, controlling by other well-known factors that affect protein evolution, we find that chaperone dependence explains the largest fraction of the observed variance in the rate of evolution at both evolutionary time scales. Chaperones affecting rates of protein evolution mostly belong to two major chaperone families: Hsp70s and Hsp90s. Our analyses show that protein chaperones, by virtue of their ability to buffer destabilizing mutations and their role in modulating protein genotype–phenotype maps, have a considerable accelerating effect on protein evolution.

Abstract
During beer production, yeast generate ethanol that is exported to the extracellular environment where it accumulates. Depending on the initial carbohydrate concentration in the wort, the amount of yeast biomass inoculated, the fermentation temperature, and the yeast attenuation capacity, a high concentration of ethanol can be achieved in beer. The increase in ethanol concentration as a consequence of the fermentation of high gravity (HG) or very high gravity (VHG) worts promotes deleterious pleiotropic effects on the yeast cells. Moderate concentrations of ethanol (5% v/v) change the enzymatic kinetics of proteins and affect biological processes, such as the cell cycle and metabolism, impacting the reuse of yeast for subsequent fermentation. However, high concentrations of ethanol (> 5% v/v) dramatically alter protein structure, leading to unfolded proteins as well as amorphous protein aggregates. It is noteworthy that the effects of elevated ethanol concentrations generated during beer fermentation resemble those of heat shock stress, with similar responses observed in both situations, such as the activation of proteostasis and protein quality control mechanisms in different cell compartments, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria, and cytosol. Despite the extensive published molecular and biochemical data regarding the roles of proteostasis in different organelles of yeast cells, little is known about how this mechanism impacts beer fermentation and how different proteostasis mechanisms found in ER, mitochondria, and cytosol communicate with each other during ethanol/fermentative stress. Supporting this integrative view, transcriptome data analysis was applied using publicly available information for a lager yeast strain grown under beer production conditions. The transcriptome data indicated upregulation of genes that encode chaperones, co-chaperones, unfolded protein response elements in ER and mitochondria, ubiquitin ligases, proteasome components, N-glycosylation quality control pathway proteins, and components of processing bodies (p-bodies) and stress granules (SGs) during lager beer fermentation. Thus, the main purpose of this hypothesis and theory manuscript is to provide a concise picture of how inter-organellar proteostasis mechanisms are connected with one another and with biological processes that may modulate the viability and/or vitality of yeast populations during HG/VHG beer fermentation and serial repitching.

Abstract
Cells invest in an extensive network of factors to maintain protein homeostasis (proteostasis) and prevent the accumulation of potentially toxic protein aggregates. This proteostasis network (PN) comprises the machineries for the biogenesis, folding, conformational maintenance, and degradation of proteins with molecular chaperones as central coordinators. Here, we review recent progress in understanding the modular architecture of the PN in mammalian cells and how it is modified during cell differentiation. We discuss the capacity and limitations of the PN in maintaining proteome integrity in the face of proteotoxic stresses, such as aggregate formation in neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, we outline various pharmacological interventions to ameliorate proteostasis imbalance.

Abstract
The chaperome is a large family of proteins composed of chaperones, co-chaperones and a multitude of other factors. Elegant studies in yeast and other organisms have paved the road to how we currently understand the complex organization of this large family into protein networks. The goal of this chapter is to provide an overview of chaperome networks in cancer cells, with a focus on two cellular states defined by chaperome network organization. One state characterized by chaperome networks working in isolation and with little overlap, contains global chaperome networks resembling those of normal, non-transformed, cells. We propose that in this state, redundancy in chaperome networks results in a tumor type unamenable for single-agent chaperome therapy. The second state comprises chaperome networks interconnected in response to cellular stress, such as MYC hyperactivation. This is a state where no redundant pathways can be deployed, and is a state of vulnerability, amenable for chaperome therapy. We conclude by proposing a change in how we discover and implement chaperome inhibitor strategies, and suggest an approach to chaperome therapy where the properties of chaperome networks, rather than genetics or client proteins, are used in chaperome inhibitor implementation.

Abstract
When proteostasis is disrupted by stresses such as heat shock, the heat stress response will be stimulated, leading to up-regulation of molecular chaperones by transcriptional activation and mRNA stabilization for restoring proteostasis. Although the mechanisms for their transcriptional activation have been clearly defined, how chaperone mRNAs are stabilized remains largely unknown. Starting by exploring the coupling between the apparently unrelated RNA degradation and protein quality control (PQC) systems, we show that the Dis3 ribonuclease, catalytic subunit of the RNA exosome required for RNA degradation, suppresses PQC activity in unstressed cells by degrading mRNAs encoding the Hsp70 cofactors Sis1, Ydj1 and Fes1, as well as some other chaperones or PQC factors, thereby limiting their protein expression. Dis3 is stabilized through its binding to Sis1 and the Hsp70s Ssa1/2. Upon heat stress, loss of Sis1 and Ssa1/2 availability triggers Dis3 ubiquitination and degradation, leading to stabilization of those chaperone mRNAs originally targeted by Dis3. We further demonstrate that polyQ-expanded huntingtin delays Dis3 degradation during heat stress and thus hinders chaperone mRNA stabilization. Our findings not only reveal a post-transcriptional negative feedback loop for maintaining proteostasis, but also uncover a mechanism that contributes to the impaired heat stress response in Huntington's disease.

Abstract
Loss of proteostasis and cellular senescence are key hallmarks of aging, but direct cause-effect relationships are not well understood. We show that most yeast cells arrest in G1 before death with low nuclear levels of Cln3, a key G1 cyclin extremely sensitive to chaperone status. Chaperone availability is seriously compromised in aged cells, and the G1 arrest coincides with massive aggregation of a metastable chaperone-activity reporter. Moreover, G1-cyclin overexpression increases lifespan in a chaperone-dependent manner. As a key prediction of a model integrating autocatalytic protein aggregation and a minimal Start network, enforced protein aggregation causes a severe reduction in lifespan, an effect that is greatly alleviated by increased expression of specific chaperones or cyclin Cln3. Overall, our data show that proteostasis breakdown, by compromising chaperone activity and G1-cyclin function, causes an irreversible arrest in G1, configuring a molecular pathway postulating proteostasis decay as a key contributing effector of cell senescence.

Abstract
Cotranslational protein folding requires assistance from elaborate ribosome-associated chaperone networks. It remains unclear how the changing information in a growing nascent polypeptide dictates the recruitment of functionally distinct chaperones. Here, we used ribosome profiling to define the principles governing the cotranslational action of the chaperones TRiC/CCT and Hsp70/Ssb. We show that these chaperones are sequentially recruited to specific sites within domain-encoding regions of select nascent polypeptides. Hsp70 associates first, binding select sites throughout domains, whereas TRiC associates later, upon the emergence of nearly complete domains that expose an unprotected hydrophobic surface. This suggests that transient topological properties of nascent folding intermediates drive sequential chaperone association. Moreover, cotranslational recruitment of both TRiC and Hsp70 correlated with translation elongation slowdowns. We propose that the temporal modulation of the nascent chain structural landscape is coordinated with local elongation rates to regulate the hierarchical action of Hsp70 and TRiC for cotranslational folding.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinase/adenosine triphosphatase Rio1 regulates rDNA transcription and segregation, pre-rRNA processing and small ribosomal subunit maturation. Other roles are unknown. When overexpressed, human ortholog RIOK1 drives tumor growth and metastasis. Likewise, RIOK1 promotes 40S ribosomal subunit biogenesis and has not been characterized globally. We show that Rio1 manages directly and via a series of regulators, an essential signaling network at the protein, chromatin and RNA levels. Rio1 orchestrates growth and division depending on resource availability, in parallel to the nutrient-activated Tor1 kinase. To define the Rio1 network, we identified its physical interactors, profiled its target genes/transcripts, mapped its chromatin-binding sites and integrated our data with yeast’s protein–protein and protein–DNA interaction catalogs using network computation. We experimentally confirmed network components and localized Rio1 also to mitochondria and vacuoles. Via its network, Rio1 commands protein synthesis (ribosomal gene expression, assembly and activity) and turnover (26S proteasome expression), and impinges on metabolic, energy-production and cell-cycle programs. We find that Rio1 activity is conserved to humans and propose that pathological RIOK1 may fuel promiscuous transcription, ribosome production, chromosomal instability, unrestrained metabolism and proliferation; established contributors to cancer. Our study will advance the understanding of numerous processes, here revealed to depend on Rio1 activity.

Abstract
The regulation of paramyxovirus RNA synthesis by host proteins is poorly understood. Here, we identified a novel regulation mechanism of paramyxovirus RNA synthesis by the Hsp90 co-chaperone R2TP complex. We showed that the R2TP complex interacted with the paramyxovirus polymerase L protein and that silencing of the R2TP complex led to uncontrolled upregulation of mumps virus (MuV) gene transcription but not genome replication. Regulation by the R2TP complex was critical for MuV replication and evasion of host innate immune responses. The R2TP complex also regulated measles virus (MeV) RNA synthesis, but its function was inhibitory and not beneficial to MeV, as MeV evaded host innate immune responses in the absence of the R2TP complex. The identification of the R2TP complex as a critical host factor sheds new light on the regulation of paramyxovirus RNA synthesis. The family Paramyxoviridae includes several important human and animal pathogens such as mumps virus (MuV) and measles virus (MeV). Paramyxovirus RNA synthesis is strictly regulated by both viral and host proteins. In this study, we identified the R2TP complex as a novel host factor regulating paramyxovirus RNA synthesis. The R2TP complex is a Hsp90 co-chaperone and is involved in Hsp90-mediated assembly of large protein complexes. We showed that the R2TP complex precisely regulated MuV transcription by interacting with the polymerase L protein. This regulation was critical for MuV evasion of host innate immune responses and for viral replication. We also showed that the R2TP complex regulated MeV RNA synthesis, but that its function was inhibitory and not beneficial to MeV. Our findings support a novel regulation mechanism of paramyxovirus RNA synthesis that is directly relevant to its biology and life cycle, and provide the first evidence linking the R2TP complex to defense against viral infection.

Abstract
The precise coordination of growth and proliferation has a universal prevalence in cell homeostasis. As a prominent property, cell size is modulated by the coordination between these processes in bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we show that multifunctional chaperone systems play a concerted and limiting role in cell-cycle entry, specifically driving nuclear accumulation of the G1 Cdk-cyclin complex. Based on these findings, we establish and test a molecular competition model that recapitulates cell-cycle-entry dependence on growth rate. As key predictions at a single-cell level, we show that availability of the Ydj1 chaperone and nuclear accumulation of the G1 cyclin Cln3 are inversely dependent on growth rate and readily respond to changes in protein synthesis and stress conditions that alter protein folding requirements. Thus, chaperone workload would subordinate Start to the biosynthetic machinery and dynamically adjust proliferation to the growth potential of the cell.

Abstract
The proteostasis network (PN) comprises a plethora of proteins that are dedicated to aid in protein folding and maintenance; some with overlapping functions. Despite this, there are multiple pathophysiological states associated with depletion of chaperones. This is counter-intuitive, assuming cells have the ability to re-program transcriptional outputs in accordance with its proteostasic limitations. Here, we have used S. cerevisiae to understand how cells respond to different types of proteostasis impairments. We monitored the proteostasis status and transcriptome of single deletions of fourteen different Protein Quality Control (PQC) genes. In most cases, cellular response did not activate proteostasis components or pathways that could either complement the function of the missing PQC gene or restore proteostasis. Over-expression of alternate machineries could restore part of the proteostasis defect in two representative PQC gene deletion strains. We posit that S. cerevisiae inherently lacks the ability to sense and respond optimally to defects in proteostasis caused due to deletion of specific PQC components.

Abstract
Different signaling cascades including the Cell Wall Integrity (CWI), the High Osmolarity Glycerol (HOG) and the Ca2+/calcineurin pathways control the cell wall biosynthesis and remodeling in fungi. Pathogenic fungi, such as Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans, greatly rely on these signaling circuits to cope with different sources of stress, including the cell wall stress evoked by antifungal drugs and the host’s response during infection. Hsp90 has been proposed as an important regulatory protein and an attractive target for antifungal therapy since it stabilizes major effector proteins that act in the CWI, HOG and Ca2+/calcineurin pathways. Data from the human pathogen C. albicans have provided solid evidence that loss-of-function of Hsp90 impairs the evolution of resistance to azoles and echinocandin drugs. In A. fumigatus, Hsp90 is also required for cell wall integrity maintenance, reinforcing a coordinated function of the CWI pathway and this essential molecular chaperone. In this review, we focus on the current information about how Hsp90 impacts the aforementioned signaling pathways and consequently the homeostasis and maintenance of the cell wall, highlighting this cellular event as a key mechanism underlying antifungal therapy based on Hsp90 inhibition.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a diverse group of proteins that ensure proteome integrity by helping the proteins fold correctly and maintain their native state, thus preventing their misfolding and subsequent aggregation. The chaperone machinery of archaeal organisms has been thought to closely resemble that found in humans, at least in terms of constituent players. Very few studies have been ventured into system-level analysis of chaperones and their functioning in archaeal cells. In this study, we attempted such an analysis of chaperone-assisted protein folding in archaeal organisms through network approach using Picrophilus torridus as model system. The study revealed that DnaK protein of Hsp70 system acts as hub in protein-protein interaction network. However, DnaK protein was present only in a subset of archaeal organisms and absent from many archaea, especially members of Crenarchaeota phylum. Therefore, a similar network was created for another archaeal organism, Sulfolobus solfataricus, a member of Crenarchaeota. The chaperone network of S. solfataricus suggested that thermosomes played an integral part of hub proteins in archaeal organisms, where DnaK was absent. We further compared the chaperone network of archaea with that found in eukaryotic systems, by creating a similar network for Homo sapiens. In the human chaperone network, the UBC protein, a part of ubiquitination system, was the most important module, and interestingly, this system is known to be absent in archaeal organisms. Comprehensive comparison of these networks leads to several interesting conclusions regarding similarities and differences within archaeal chaperone machinery in comparison to humans.

Abstract
Chaperones are a highly interactive group of proteins that function globally in many cellular processes involved in maintaining protein homeostasis. Traditional biochemical assays typically do not provide a complete view of the intricate networks through which chaperones collaborate to promote proteostasis. Recent advances in high-throughput systematic analyses of chaperone interactions have uncovered that chaperones display a remarkable cooperativity in their interactions with numerous client proteins. This cooperativity has been found to be a fundamental aspect of a properly functioning cell. Aberrant formation or improper regulation of these interactions can easily lead to disease states. Herein, we provide an overview of the use of large-scale interaction assays, whether physical (protein-protein) or genetic (epistatic), to study chaperone interaction networks. Importantly, we discuss the ongoing need for such studies to determine the mechanisms by which protein homeostasis is controlled in the cell.
