In contrary to the vesicle-mediated macroautophagy, the chaperone mediated mechanism of autophagy selectively targets individual proteins to the lysosome for degradation. Chaperones bind intracellular proteins based on recognition motifs and transports them from the cytosol to the lysosomal membrane. Subsequently, the protein is translocated into the lumen for digestion (Cuervo A M et al. 2014, Kaushik S et al. 2018).

Intracellular proteins are targeted for proteolytic degradation in the lysosome with the aid of chaperones. Heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSPA8) acts as the constitutive chaperone that binds substrate proteins in the cytosol. HSPA8 recognizes a motif based on the charge of the amino acids (Chiang H et al. 1989, Dice JF et al. 1990). This allows the motif to have multiple sequence possibilities and also create a motif through post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and acetylation. Once bound with HSPA8, the substrates are targeted to the lysosome or endosome.
Intracellular proteins are targeted for proteolytic degradation in lysosome with the aid of chaperones. Heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSPA8) acts as the constitutive chaperone that binds substrates in the cytosol. Consequently, the Hspa8:Substrate complex translocates from cytosol to lysosomal membrane where it binds to Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (LAMP2a) (Cuervo AM and Dice JF. 1996). Four positively charged amino acids in the cytosolic tail of the LAMP2a isoform is known to regulate the binding mechanism (Cuervo AM and Dice JF. 2000). Experiments confirming this binding were performed on rat models.
Heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSPA8) translocates substrates from cytosol to lysosomal membrane where it binds to Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (LAMP2a). HSPA8 is then released from this complex. Subsequently, Heat shock protein HSP 90 binds to the lysosomal luminal end of LAMP2a (Bandyopadhyay U et al. 2008). This facilitates the multimerization of LAMP2a and internalization of substrate into the lumen. Experiments confirming this binding were performed on rat models.
Intracellular proteins are targeted for proteolytic degradation in lysosome with the aid of chaperones. Heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSPA8) acts as the constitutive chaperone that binds KFERQ-domain containing substrates in the cytosol. Consequently, the Hspa8:Substrate complex translocates from the cytosol to the lysosomal membrane where it binds to Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (LAMP2a). Post-binding, HSPA8 is released from the complex to allow multimerization of LAMP2a and internalization of the substrate (Bandyopadhyay U et al. 2008). Experiments confirming this binding were performed on rat models.

Subsequently, HSPA8 is released and Heat shock protein HSP 90 binds to the lysosomal luminal end of LAMP2a. Binding of HSP90 stabilizes LAMP2 to multimerize into a 700 kDa complex (Bandyopadhyay U et al. 2008). This facilitates the internalization of substrate into the lumen. Experiments confirming this binding were performed on rat models.
Heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSPA8) translocates substrates from the cytosol to the lysosomal membrane. Subsequently, the substrate unfolds and binds to HSPA8 in the lysosomal lumen. HSPA8 facilitates the transport of the unfolded substrate to the lumen where it is then degraded (Agarraberes FA et al. 1997, Cuervo AM et al. 1997).

Subsequently, HSPA8 is released and Heat shock protein HSP 90 binds to the lysosomal luminal end of LAMP2a. This LAMP2a complex then multimerizes into a 700 kDa entity and is stabilized by the binding of Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (Bandyopadhyay U et al. 2010). Subsequently, the substrate is unfolded and internalized into the lumen. Experiments confirming this binding were performed on rat models.

Heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSPA8) transports substrates from the cytosol to the lysosomal membrane where it binds to Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 (LAMP2a). Subsequently, LAMP2a forms a multimeric complex stabilized with the aid of HSP90 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). This multimer allows the transfer of substrate into the lumen. The stability of this complex is regulated by the dynamics of GFAP and elongation factor 1α (EEF1A1). During autophagy, a phosphorylated version of GFAP remains bound to EEF1A1. When GTP becomes available, EEF1A1 dissociates from GFAP (Bandyopadhyay U et al. 2010). Experiments confirming this binding were performed in rats.
