Abstract excerpt
Two members of the AAA+ superfamily, ClpB and Hsp104, collaborate with Hsp70 and Hsp40 to rescue aggregated proteins. However, the mechanisms that elicit and underlie their protein-remodeling activities remain unclear. We report that for both Hsp104 and ClpB, mixtures of ATP and ATP-gammaS unexpectedly unleash activation, disaggregation and unfolding activities independent of cochaperones. Mutations reveal how...
