“…Holdases include many disparate proteins, such as the small heat shock proteins, , the α-crystallins, − Hsp33, − and HdeA, , among others. − Holdases are thought to act in a more mechanistically simple manner by acting as a first line of defense to prevent widespread protein aggregation, later transferring their clients to the foldases for protein refolding. Although not requiring ATP, holdases can still be mechanistically complicated, using conditional disorder or heterogeneous oligomerization as regulatory mechanisms. , Some holdases do allow protein folding while bound, such as Spy. , …”
