Synopsis

"The Networking of Chaperones by Co-chaperones" updates the current understanding of how chaperones are regulated and networked, and is a resource for those in the specialized field of cell stress and chaperones. The book will also be of interest to those in broader cross-cutting field such as cellular networks and systems biology.

About this title

Review

From the reviews:

"‘Networking of chaperones by co-chaperones’ is the first published volume dedicated solely to cochaperones. ... This volume contains 11 chapters on separate topics contributed by authorities in the field. ... Each contains a brief, but very informative introduction to the topic; an excellent aid for newcomers to the field. ... This reviewer found all of the chapters to be very readable and thought-provoking. ... it is highly recommended for both newcomers and senior investigators in this field." (David Toft, Cell Stress and Chaperones, Vol. 13, 2008)

From the Back Cover

Co-chaperones are important mediators of the outcome of chaperone assisted protein homeostasis, which is a dynamic balance between the integrated processes of protein folding, degradation and translocation. The Networking of Chaperones by Co-chaperones describes how the function of the major molecular chaperones is regulated by a cohort of diverse non-client proteins, known as co-chaperones. The second edition includes the current status of the field and descriptions of a number of novel co-chaperones that have been recently identified. This new edition has a strong focus on the role of co-chaperones in human disease and as putative drug targets. The book will be a resource for both newcomers and established researchers in the field of cell stress and chaperones, as well as those interested in cross-cutting disciplines such as cellular networks and systems biology.
