Abstract excerpt
The structural basis by which Hsp104 dissolves disordered aggregates and prions is unknown. A single subunit within the Hsp104 hexamer can solubilize disordered aggregates, whereas prion dissolution requires collaboration by multiple Hsp104 subunits. Here, we establish that the poorly understood Hsp104 N-terminal domain (NTD) enables this operational plasticity. Hsp104 lacking the NTD (Hsp104(ΔN)) dissolves...
