Components of a protein machine: Allosteric domain assembly and a disordered c-terminus enable the chaperone functions of HSP70

Hsp70 molecular chaperones protect proteins from aggregation, assist in their native structure formation, and regulate stress responses in the cell. A mechanistic understanding of Hsp70 function will be necessary to explain its physiological roles and guide the therapeutic modulation of various dise...
