HspB5 Chaperone Structure and Activity Are Modulated by Chemical-Scale Interactions in the ACD Dimer Interface
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are a family of ATP-independent molecular chaperones that function as “holdases” and prevent protein aggregation due to changes in temperature, pH, or oxidation state. sHsps have a conserved α-crystallin domain (ACD), which forms the dimer building block, flanked by...
