Validation of the Hsp70–Bag3 Protein–Protein Interaction as a Potential Therapeutic Target in Cancer

TL;DR: JG-98, an allosteric inhibitor of this PPI, indeed has antiproliferative activity across cancer cell lines from multiple origins and suggested that the Hsp70–Bag3 interaction may be a promising, new target for anticancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthetische multivalente Liganden als Sonden fÜr die Signaltransduktion

TL;DR: In this paper, synthetische Verbindungen konnen dabei helfen, die Rolle der Rezeptorassoziationen bei der Signaltransduktion zu ermitteln.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imbalance of Hsp70 family variants fosters tau accumulation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that highly homologous variants in the Hsp70 family can have opposing effects on tau clearance kinetics, and efforts to promote Hsp72 expression and inhibit Hsc70 could be therapeutically relevant for tauopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The remarkable multivalency of the Hsp70 chaperones

TL;DR: What is known about the interaction between the chaperones and partners of Hsp70s, and HSPA8 in particular, is reviewed, with a strong slant toward structural biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Initial Evaluation of YM-08, a Blood-Brain Barrier Permeable Derivative of the Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) Inhibitor MKT-077, Which Reduces Tau Levels

TL;DR: YM-08 is a promising scaffold for the development of Hsp70 inhibitors suitable for use in the central nervous system (CNS), and replacing the cationic pyridinium moiety in MKT-077 with a neutral pyridine might improve its clogP and enhance its BBB penetrance.
