The '''chaperone code''' refers to [[Post-translational modification|post-translational modifications]] of molecular [[Chaperone (protein)|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]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Nitika|last2=Porter|first2=Corey M.|last3=Truman|first3=Andrew W.|last4=Truttmann|first4=Matthias C.|date=2020-07-31|title=Post-translational modifications of Hsp70 family proteins: Expanding the chaperone code|journal=The Journal of Biological Chemistry|volume=295|issue=31|pages=10689–10708|doi=10.1074/jbc.REV120.011666|issn=0021-9258|pmc=7397107|pmid=32518165|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last1=Backe|first1=Sarah J.|last2=Sager|first2=Rebecca A.|last3=Woodford|first3=Mark R.|last4=Makedon|first4=Alan M.|last5=Mollapour|first5=Mehdi|date=2020-08-07|title=Post-translational modifications of Hsp90 and translating the chaperone code|journal=The Journal of Biological Chemistry|volume=295|issue=32|pages=11099–11117|doi=10.1074/jbc.REV120.011833|issn=0021-9258|pmc=7415980|pmid=32527727|doi-access=free }}</ref>

The ‘‘chaperone code’’ has been identified as one of the main regulatory mechanism underlying cell function in biology. While the genetic code specifies how DNA makes proteins, while the histone code rules genomic transactions, the chaperone code stipulates how proteins produce a functional proteome.

The chaperone code refers to the combinatorial array of posttranslational[[Post-translational modification|post-translational modifications]] (enzymes add chemical modifications to amino acids that change their properties) - i—i.e. [[phosphorylation]], [[acetylation]], [[Ubiquitin|ubiquitination]], [[methylation]], etc.—that -are thatadded targetto molecular chaperones to modulate their activity.

The chaperone code concept posits that combinations of posttranslational modifications at the surface of chaperones, including phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, etc, control protein folding/unfolding and protein complex assembly/disassembly by stipulating substrate specificity, activity, subcellular localization and co-factor binding. This conclusion emerges from the analysis of nearly two hundred reports in the literature (Cloutier and Coulombe 2013 Biochim Biophys Acta; doi:pii: S1874-9399(13)00042-4. 10.1016/j.bbagrm.2013.02.010), including a key article published in 2013 reporting on the discovery of a novel family of methyltransferases that preferentially target and regulate molecular chaperones (Cloutier et al 2013 PLoS Genetics 9, e1003210). Because posttranslational modifications are marks that can be added and removed rapidly, they provide an efficient mechanism to explain the plasticity observed in proteome organization during cell growth and development

A large number of diseases, including degenerative neuromuscular disorders and cancer, are associated with dysfunction of molecular chaperones. Decrypting and reprogramming the chaperone code represents a gigantic initiative that generates new hopes for the development of therapeutics for degenerative diseases.

== Levels of the Chaperone Code ==

The Chaperone code is incredibly complex with multiple layers of potential regulation. Studies of the chaperone code may include:

Level 1: Understanding the role and regulation of single PTMs on a single chaperone

Level 2: Cross-talk of different PTMs on a single amino acid or between PTMs on different amino acids (on a single chaperone)

Level 3: Understanding of why chaperone paralogs have different PTMs

Level 4: Cross-talk of PTMs between different chaperones i.e. between Hsp90 and Hsp70

Level 5: Understanding the role and regulation of single PTMs on a single co-chaperone molecule

Level 6: Understanding the entire chaperone code-all the PTMs on all major chaperones, co-chaperones that control all aspects of life.

== Phosphorylation ==

Site-specific [[Protein phosphorylation|phosphorylation]] of chaperone proteins can affect their activity. In some cases phosphorylation may disrupt the interaction with a co-chaperone protein thus negatively affecting its activity. In other instances it may promote the activation of particular chaperone targets (referred to as clients).<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Woodford|first1=Mark R.|last2=Truman|first2=Andrew W.|last3=Dunn|first3=Diana M.|last4=Jensen|first4=Sandra M.|last5=Cotran|first5=Richard|last6=Bullard|first6=Renee|last7=Abouelleil|first7=Mourad|last8=Beebe|first8=Kristin|last9=Wolfgeher|first9=Donald|last10=Wierzbicki|first10=Sara|last11=Post|first11=Dawn E.|date=2016-02-02|title=Mps1 Mediated Phosphorylation of Hsp90 Confers Renal Cell Carcinoma Sensitivity and Selectivity to Hsp90 Inhibitors|journal=Cell Reports|volume=14|issue=4|pages=872–884|doi=10.1016/j.celrep.2015.12.084|issn=2211-1247|pmc=4887101|pmid=26804907}}</ref> Enzymes such as [[protein kinase A]], casein kinase 1 and 2 ([[Casein kinase 1|CK1]] and [[Casein kinase 2|CK2]]), and [[GSK3B|glycogen synthase kinase B]] serve as kinases for chaperone proteins.<ref name=":1" /> [[Hsp70|HSP70]], a major chaperone protein, was identified in 2012 as a hotspot of phospho-regulation.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Beltrao|first1=Pedro|last2=Albanèse|first2=Véronique|last3=Kenner|first3=Lillian R.|last4=Swaney|first4=Danielle L.|last5=Burlingame|first5=Alma|last6=Villén|first6=Judit|last7=Lim|first7=Wendell A.|last8=Fraser|first8=James S.|last9=Frydman|first9=Judith|last10=Krogan|first10=Nevan J.|date=2012-07-20|title=Systematic Functional Prioritization of Protein Posttranslational Modifications|url= |journal=Cell|language=English|volume=150|issue=2|pages=413–425|doi=10.1016/j.cell.2012.05.036|issn=0092-8674|pmid=22817900|pmc=3404735}}</ref> Subsequently, phosphorylation of chaperone protein HSP70 by a cyclin dependent kinase was shown to delay [[cell cycle]] progression in yeast and mammals by altering [[cyclin D1]] stability (a key regulator of the cell cycle).<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Truman|first1=Andrew|last2=Kristjansdottir|first2=Kolbrun|last3=Wolfgeher|first3=Donald|last4=Hasin|first4=Naushaba|last5=Polier|first5=Sigrun|last6=Zhang|first6=Hong|last7=Perrett|first7=Sarah|last8=Prodromou|first8=Chrisostomos|last9=Jones|first9=Gary|last10=Kron|first10=Stephen|date=2012-12-07|title=CDK-Dependent Hsp70 Phosphorylation Controls G1 Cyclin Abundance and Cell-Cycle Progression|journal=Cell|volume=151|issue=6|pages=1308–1318|doi=10.1016/j.cell.2012.10.051|issn=0092-8674|pmc=3778871|pmid=23217712}}</ref> Phosphorylation of HSP90 (another major chaperone) at threonine 22, was shown to disrupt its interaction with co-chaperone proteins Aha1 and CD37 (interacting proteins required for function) and decrease its activity.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Mollapour|first1=Mehdi|last2=Tsutsumi|first2=Shinji|last3=Truman|first3=Andrew W.|last4=Xu|first4=Wanping|last5=Vaughan|first5=Cara K.|last6=Beebe|first6=Kristin|last7=Konstantinova|first7=Anna|last8=Vourganti|first8=Srinivas|last9=Panaretou|first9=Barry|last10=Piper|first10=Peter W.|last11=Trepel|first11=Jane B.|date=2011-03-18|title=Threonine 22 phosphorylation attenuates Hsp90 interaction with co-chaperones and affects its chaperone activity|journal=Molecular Cell|volume=41|issue=6|pages=672–681|doi=10.1016/j.molcel.2011.02.011|issn=1097-2765|pmc=3062913|pmid=21419342}}</ref> Certain pathogenic bacteria may manipulate host chaperone phosphorylation through bacterial effectors to promote their survival.

== Methylation ==

Chaperone proteins are also regulated by methylation. This can occur through a conformational change (or a change in the structure of the protein), such that the interactions and activity of the protein are changed. <ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Donlin|first1=Laura T.|last2=Andresen|first2=Christian|last3=Just|first3=Steffen|last4=Rudensky|first4=Eugene|last5=Pappas|first5=Christopher T.|last6=Kruger|first6=Martina|last7=Jacobs|first7=Erica Y.|last8=Unger|first8=Andreas|last9=Zieseniss|first9=Anke|last10=Dobenecker|first10=Marc-Werner|last11=Voelkel|first11=Tobias|date=2012-01-15|title=Smyd2 controls cytoplasmic lysine methylation of Hsp90 and myofilament organization|journal=Genes & Development|volume=26|issue=2|pages=114–119|doi=10.1101/gad.177758.111|issn=0890-9369|pmc=3273835|pmid=22241783}}</ref> For instance, the monomethylation of HSP90 lysine 616 by [[SMPD2|Smyd2]], and its reversal by [[KDM1A|LSD1]], regulate enzymatic activity of HSP90.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Abu-Farha|first1=Mohamed|last2=Lanouette|first2=Sylvain|last3=Elisma|first3=Fred|last4=Tremblay|first4=Véronique|last5=Butson|first5=Jeffery|last6=Figeys|first6=Daniel|last7=Couture|first7=Jean-François|date=October 2011|title=Proteomic analyses of the SMYD family interactomes identify HSP90 as a novel target for SMYD2|journal=Journal of Molecular Cell Biology|volume=3|issue=5|pages=301–308|doi=10.1093/jmcb/mjr025|issn=1759-4685|pmid=22028380|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Rehn|first1=Alexandra|last2=Lawatscheck|first2=Jannis|last3=Jokisch|first3=Marie-Lena|last4=Mader|first4=Sophie L.|last5=Luo|first5=Qi|last6=Tippel|first6=Franziska|last7=Blank|first7=Birgit|last8=Richter|first8=Klaus|last9=Lang|first9=Kathrin|last10=Kaila|first10=Ville R.
