Abstract excerpt
In this study, in vitro RNA binding by members of the mammalian 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp) family was examined. We show that Hsp/Hsc70 and Hsp110 proteins preferentially bound AU-rich RNA in vitro. Inhibition of RNA binding by ATP suggested the involvement of the N-terminal ATP-binding domain. By using deletion mutants of Hsp110 protein, a diverged Hsp70 family member, RNA binding was localized to the...
