...Eugenia M. Clerico; Wenli Meng; Alexandra Pozhidaeva; Karishma Bhasne; Constantine Petridis; Lila M. Gierasch The Hsp70 family of chaperones works with its co-chaperones, the nucleotide exchange factors and J-domain proteins, to facilitate a multitude of cellular functions. Central players...

...Jingzhi Li; Yunkun Wu; Xinguo Qian; Bingdong Sha Heat shock protein (Hsp) 40 facilitates the critical role of Hsp70 in a number of cellular processes such as protein folding, assembly, degradation and translocation in vivo . Hsp40 and Hsp70 stay in close contact to achieve these diverse functions...

...Jingzhi LI; Bingdong SHA Ydj1 is the major type I Hsp40 (heat-shock protein 40) family member in yeast. Ydj1 can pair with yeast Hsp70 Ssa1 to facilitate protein translocation and protein folding. Ydj1 itself can also function as a molecular chaperone to bind the non-native polypeptides...

...Dorota ŚCIEGLIŃSKA; Wiesława WID̄ŁAK; Witold KONOPKA; Matti POUTANEN; Nafis RAHMAN; Ilpo HUHTANIEMI; Zdzisław KRAWCZYK The rat Hst70 gene and its mouse counterpart Hsp70.2 belong to the family of Hsp70 heat shock genes and are specifically expressed in male germ cells. Previous studies regarding...

...Alfredo MOLINA; Emmanuel Di MARTINO; Joseph A. MARTIAL; Marc MULLER We reported previously that a tilapia ( Oreochromis mossambicus ) heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) promoter is able to confer heat shock response on a reporter gene after transient expression both in cell culture and in microinjected...
