Molecular chaperones are known to facilitate cellular protein folding. They bind non-native proteins and orchestrate the folding process in conjunction with regulatory cofactors that modulate the affinity of the chaperone for its substrate. However, not every attempt to fold a protein is successful and chaperones can direct misfolded proteins to the cellular degradation machinery for destruction. Protein quality control thus appears to involve close cooperation between molecular chaperones and energy-dependent proteases. Molecular mechanisms underlying this interplay have been largely enigmatic so far. Here we present a novel concept for the regulation of the eukaryotic Hsp70 and Hsp90 chaperone systems during protein folding and protein degradation.
