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 refers to the combinatorial array of [[Post-translational modification|post-translational modifications]] (enzymes add chemical modifications to amino acids that change their properties) —i.e. [[phosphorylation]], [[acetylation]], [[Ubiquitin|ubiquitination]], [[methylation]], etc.—that are added to molecular chaperones to modulate their activity. Molecular chaperones are proteins specialized in folding and unfolding of the other cellular proteins, and the assembly and dismantling of protein complexes. This is critical in the regulation of protein-protein interactions and many cellular functions. Because post-translational 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.
