Scientific Background

The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are a family of ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. The Hsp70s are an important part of the cell's machinery for protein folding, and help to protect cells from stress. All of the Hsp70 proteins have three major functional domains: An N-terminal ATPase domain binds ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and hydrolyzes it to ADP (Adenosine diphosphate); A substrate binding domain contains a groove with an affinity for neutral, hydrophobic amino acid residues; A C-terminal domain rich in alpha helical structure acts as a 'lid' for the substrate binding domain. By binding tightly to partially-synthesized peptide sequences (incomplete proteins), Hsp70 prevents them from aggregating and being rendered nonfunctional. And it also can act to protect cells from thermal or oxidative stress. Finally, Hsp70 seems to be able to participate in disposal of damaged or defective proteins.
