Abstract:Misfolding and aggregation of proteins are characteristic features in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. While molecular chaperones are well-known suppressors of these aberrant events, we recently reported that a widespread family of heat-resistant obscure (Hero) proteins may also play a similar role. However, it is unclear how such electrostatically charged intrinsically disordered proteins protect client proteins from denaturation and aggregation. Here we utilize single-molecule FRET to monitor t… Show more
