Article Synopsis
- Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are critical for maintaining protein balance in living organisms by binding to unfolding proteins.
- Researchers have successfully created a stable complex between the sHsp Hsp21 from Arabidopsis thaliana and its substrate DXPS under heat stress, shedding light on their interaction.
- The binding involves Hsp21 partially unfolding to interact with DXPS, which helps prevent protein aggregation and suggests a new understanding of sHps’ role in recognizing various substrates.
