Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitous molecular chaperone 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70) play key roles in maintaining protein homeostasis. Hsp70s contain two functional domains: a nucleotide binding domain and a substrate binding domain. The two domains are connected by a highly conserved inter-domain linker, and allosteric coupling between the two domains is critical for chaperone function. The auxiliary chaperone 40-kDa heat...
