Abstract excerpt
The site for ATP interactions in human alphaB crystallin, the archetype of small heat-shock proteins, was identified and characterized to resolve the controversial role of ATP in the function of small heat-shock proteins. Comparative sequence alignments identified the alphaB crystallin sequence, (82)KHFSPEELKVKVLGD(96) as a Walker-B ATP-binding motif that is found in several ATP-binding proteins, including five...
