The correction of protein folding is fundamental for cellular functionality and its failure can lead to severe diseases. In this context, molecular chaperones are crucial players involved in the tricky process of assisting in protein folding, stabilization, and degradation. Chaperones, such as heat shock proteins (HSP) 90, 70, and 60, operate within complex systems, interacting with co-chaperones both to prevent protein misfolding and direct to the correct folding.

This study aimed to identify the species of complex (ECC) isolates and compare the genotype, antibiotic resistance, and virulence among them. A total of 183 ECC isolates were collected from patients in eight hospitals in South Korea. Based on partial sequences of and phylogenetic analysis, all ECC isolates were identified as nine species and six subspecies.

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs), or stress proteins, are abundant and highly conserved, present in all organisms and in all cells. Selected HSPs, also known as chaperones, play crucial roles in folding and unfolding of proteins, assembly of multiprotein complexes, transport and sorting of proteins into correct subcellular compartments, cell-cycle control and signaling, and protection of cells against stress and apoptosis. More recently, HSPs have been shown to be key players in immune responses: during antigen presentation as well as cross-priming, they chaperone and transfer antigenic peptides to class I and class II molecules of the major histocompatibility complexes.

Molecular chaperones are a group of structurally diverse and highly conserved ubiquitous proteins. They play crucial roles in facilitating the correct folding of proteins in vivo by preventing protein aggregation or facilitating the appropriate folding and assembly of proteins. Heat shock proteins form the major class of molecular chaperones that are responsible for protein folding events in the cell.

Background: The identification of novel targets is of paramount importance to develop more effective drugs and improve the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Since cells alter their metabolic rewiring during tumorigenesis and along cancer progression, targeting key metabolic players and metabolism-associated proteins represents a valuable approach with a high therapeutic potential. Metabolic fitness relies on the functionality of heat shock proteins (HSPs), molecular chaperones that facilitate the correct folding of metabolism enzymes and their assembly in macromolecular structures.
