... determined. In the cases where translocation mechanisms have been determined, a two-residue translocation step-size has not been resolved. In this review, we explore Hsp104, ClpB, ClpA and ClpX as examples to review the experimental methods that have been used to examine, in solution, the translocation...

...+ protein ClpB evolved independently from an interacting peptidase and co-operates with a cognate Hsp70 (heat-shock protein 70) chaperone system to solubilize and refold aggregated proteins. The activity of this bi-chaperone system is crucial for the survival of bacteria, yeast and plants during severe...
