Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that αB-crystallin (CRYAB), a small heat shock protein (sHsp) that prevents irreversible aggregation of unfolded protein by an ATP-independent chaperone activity, plays a pivotal role in the biogenesis of multipass transmembrane proteins (TMPs) assisting their folding from the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (D'Agostino et al., 2013). Here we present evidence, based on...
