Abstract excerpt
The small heat shock protein (sHSP) from Methanococcus jannaschii (Mj Hsp16.5) forms a monodisperse 24mer and each of its monomer contains two flexible N- and C-terminals and a rigid α-crystallin domain with an extruding β-strand exchange loop. The minimal α-crystallin domain with a β-sandwich fold is conserved in sHSP family, while the presence of the β-strand exchange loop is divergent. The function of the...
