C. elegans STI-1, the homolog of Sti1/Hop, is involved in aging and stress response.

Abstract excerpt

Environmental and physiological stresses such as heat shock, oxidative stress, heavy metals, and pathogenic conditions induce cellular stress response. This response is often mediated by heat shock proteins that function as molecular chaperones. A stress-inducible cochaperone, Sti1/Hop (Hsp organizer protein), functions as an adaptor protein that simultaneously binds with Hsp70 and Hsp90 to transfer client...
