Abstract excerpt
In addition to its role as a molecular chaperone, heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) protects cells against a wide range of apoptosis inducing stresses. However, it is unclear if these two roles are functionally related or whether Hsp72 inhibits apoptosis by a mechanism independent of chaperone activity. The N-terminal adenosine triphosphatase domain, substrate-binding domain and the C-terminal EEVD regulatory motif...
