Abstract
Proteostasis, the maintenance of proper protein folding, stability, and degradation within cells, is fundamental for cellular function. Two key players in this intricate cellular process are macroautophagy/autophagy and chaperoning of nascent proteins. Here, we explore the crosstalk between autophagy and the HSP90 chaperone in maintaining proteostasis, highlighting their interplay and significance in cellular homeostasis.Abbreviation: HSP90: heat shock protein 90; PTMs: post-translational modifications.
