Using steered molecular dynamics to predict and assess Hsp70 substrate-binding domain mutants that alter prion propagation.

Using steered molecular dynamics to predict and assess Hsp70 substrate-binding domain mutants that alter prion propagation.

Genetic screens using Saccharomyces cerevisiae have identified an array of cytosolic Hsp70 mutants that are impaired in the ability to propagate the yeast [PSI(+)] prion. The best characterized of these mutants is the Ssa1 L483W mutant (so-called SSA1-21), which is located in the substrate-binding d...
