Abstract excerpt
Sis1 is an essential yeast Type II Hsp40 protein that assists cytosolic Hsp70 Ssa1 in the facilitation of processes that include translation initiation, the prevention of protein aggregation, and proteasomal protein degradation. An essential function of Sis1 and other Hsp40 proteins is the binding and delivery of non-native polypeptides to Hsp70. How Hsp40s function as molecular chaperones is unknown. The crystal...
