Chaperone code

 - The chaperone code refers to post-translational modifications of molecular chaperones that control protein folding. Whilst the genetic code specifies how DNA makes proteins, and the histone code regulates histone-DNA interactions, the chaperone code controls how proteins are folded to produce a functional proteome. The chaperone code concept posits that combinations of post-translational modifications at the surface of chaperones, including phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, control protein folding/unfolding and protein complex assembly/disassembly by modulating: [[Category:Uncategorized
