Abstract excerpt
Hsp70 chaperones assist a large variety of protein folding processes within the entire lifespan of proteins. Central to these activities is the regulation of Hsp70 by DnaJ cochaperones. DnaJ stimulates Hsp70 to hydrolyze ATP, a key step that closes its substrate-binding cavity and thus allows stable binding of substrate. We show that DnaJ stimulates ATP hydrolysis by Escherichia coli Hsp70, DnaK, very efficiently...
