Insights into the client protein release mechanism of the ATP-independent chaperone Spy

How ATP-independent chaperones release their clients without energy input remains enigmatic. Here the authors discover that chaperone Spy uses its long, disordered N terminus to facilitate client release through competitive, dynamic intramolecular interactions with Spy’s client binding surface.
