Abstract:Proteins of the Hsp100 chaperone family support protein homeostasis, the maintenance of protein activity under stress, by refolding aggregated proteins or targeting them for degradation. Hsp78, the ClpB-type mitochondrial member of the Hsp100 family, can be found in lower eukaryotes like yeast. Although Hsp78 has been shown to contribute to protection against elevated temperatures in yeast, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this mitochondria- specific thermotolerance are still largely unclear. To identify … Show more
