Multivalent contacts of the Hsp70 Ssb contribute to its architecture on ribosomes and nascent chain interaction

The correct folding of proteins often requires the intervention molecular chaperones, which can occur co-translationally. Here the authors identify elements of yeast Ssb (Hsp70) that mediate ribosomal binding, and suggest a mechanism that directs efficient interaction of Ssb with the nascent chain.
