CHIP (STUB1) was identified as a novel 35-kDa cytoplasmic protein that directly interacts with Hsc70 and Hsp70 via its N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain; it inhibits Hsp40-stimulated ATPase activity of Hsc70/Hsp70 and reduces chaperone efficiency for substrate refolding, establishing it as a negative regulator of the Hsc70/Hsp70 chaperone cycle. |

CHIP acts as a U-box-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase that works with the E2 UbcH5 family; it ubiquitylates its co-chaperone substrate Hsc70 (with short non-canonical chains) and promotes ubiquitin-dependent degradation of chaperone substrates, establishing the U-box as the catalytic domain for E3 activity. |

CHIP is a chaperone-dependent E3 ligase that selectively ubiquitylates unfolded (thermally denatured) proteins captured by Hsp90 or Hsc70/Hsp40, but not folded proteins, using Ubc4/UbcH5c as E2; CHIP lacking its U-box shows no activity, demonstrating U-box requirement for ubiquitylation of misfolded substrates. |

CHIP directly ubiquitinates the microtubule-associated protein tau in a manner dependent on its interaction with Hsp70/90; induction of Hsp70 (via geldanamycin or heat shock) decreases tau steady-state levels and selectively reduces detergent-insoluble tau, while CHIP also promotes tau aggregation. Diverse tau lesions in human postmortem tissue are immunopositive for CHIP. |

The high-affinity HSP90-CHIP complex selectively recognizes and degrades phosphorylated tau (p-tau); Hsp90 inhibition reduces p-tau levels in a CHIP-dependent manner independent of HSF1 activation, and cochaperones of the mature Hsp90 refolding complex antagonize this effect. Peripheral administration of an Hsp90 inhibitor selectively reduced p-tau species in a mouse tauopathy model. |
