Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that causes a missense mutation of highly conserved Gln488 to His of the alpha isoform of the 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90alpha) molecular chaperone is observed in Caucasians. The mutated Hsp90alpha severely reduced the growth of yeast cells. To investigate this molecular mechanism, we examined the domain-domain interactions of human Hsp90alpha by using bacterial...
