The Link That Binds: The Linker of Hsp70 as a Helm of the Protein’s Function

The heat shock 70 (Hsp70) family of molecular chaperones plays a central role in maintaining cellular proteostasis. Structurally, Hsp70s are composed of an N-terminal nucleotide binding domain (NBD) which exhibits ATPase activity, and a C-terminal substrate binding domain (SBD). The binding of ATP a...
