Engineering of a polydisperse small heat-shock protein reveals conserved motifs of oligomer plasticity
Small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) are molecular chaperones that bind partially and globally unfolded states of their client proteins. Previously, we discovered that the archaeal Hsp16.5, which forms ordered and symmetric 24-subunit oligomers, can be engineered to transition to an ordered and symmetr...
