Abstract excerpt
Immunoglobulin-binding protein (BiP), a 70-kDa heat shock protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, binds transiently to nascent proteins, releasing them upon folding and assembly. The in vitro release of bound proteins from BiP requires ATP hydrolysis. Recently, the three-dimensional structure was solved for an ATP-hydrolyzing proteolytic 44-kDa fragment of a 71-kDa heat shock cognate protein, HSC71. Because of the...
