Abstract excerpt
HspA1A, a molecular chaperone, translocates to the plasma membrane (PM) of stressed and cancer cells. This translocation results in HspA1A's cell-surface presentation, which renders tumors radiation insensitive. To specifically inhibit the lipid-driven HspA1A's PM translocation and devise new therapeutics it is imperative to characterize the unknown HspA1A's lipid-binding regions and determine the relationship...
