Comparative Characterization of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> Hsp70-1 Relative to <i>E. coli</i> DnaK Reveals the Functional Specificity of the Parasite Chaperone

Comparative Characterization of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> Hsp70-1 Relative to <i>E. coli</i> DnaK Reveals the Functional Specificity of the Parasite Chaperone

Hsp70 is a conserved molecular chaperone. How Hsp70 exhibits specialized functions across species remains to be understood. <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> Hsp70-1 (PfHsp70-1) and <i>Escherichia coli</i> DnaK are cytosol localized molecular chaperones that are important for the...
