Acknowledgements

First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Prof. Dr. F. Ulrich Hartl for
giving me the opportunity to study and learn the extremely interesting subject in his
laboratory. I would like to thank him for the encouragement and the continual support
throughout the entire period of my PhD study.

Uncountable thanks go to my direct supervisor Dr. Manajit Hayer-Hartl, Dr. Giulia
Calloni, Dr. Sonya Scherrman and Dr. Roman Körner for their invaluable advice and
constant support, Especially Dr. Manajit Hayer-Hartl .She is not only a good advisor of
my work but also a good mentor in my personal life.

I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Walter Neupert for his help in correcting my dissertation
and being the co-referee of my thesis committee.

I thank colleagues in the department of cellular biochemistry for providing
accommodative environment to a foreigner like me and many helps. In particularly, I
would like to thank Andrea, Silke, Evelyn, Elisabeth, Emmanuel, Nadine, Albert, Romy,
Andreas and Bernd Grampp for keeping the laboratory at good running. Special thanks to
Nadine and Dirk for their excellent technical assistance.

Many great thanks to Andreas.Bracher, Kausik, and Martin for generously sharing their
specialty opinions and many insightful discussions. Their friendships and the good
working atmosphere became the main basis for the success of this work.

The deepest thanks go to my wife, Jiawen Qin, for her enormous support and patience
and valuable discussions. The same deep thanks belong to my parents and my family in
China for their understanding and support.
