This machinery, composed of the constitutive Hsp70 (Hsc70), the class B J-protein DnaJB1 and the nucleotide exchange factor Apg2 (Hsp110), disassembles amyloids of α-synuclein implicated in Parkinson’s disease as well as of other disease-associated proteins such as tau and huntingtin. Here, HSPH1 is linked to Parkinson disease.
