Truttmann MC et al.[1] recently reported that AMPylation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family of chaperones participates in altering the aggregation properties and maintaining protein homeostasis (proteostasis), thereby playing a vital role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). NDs are commonly manifested by protein aggregates, which exert harmful effects on proteostasis. Interestingly, it has been observed that AMPylation of heat shock proteins (HSPs) can maintain proteostasis by inhibiting the formation of protein aggregates. As previous studies only indicate that HSPs c...
