Small but mighty: a functional look at bacterial sHSPs

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are widespread in every kingdom of life, being indispensable for protein quality control networks. Alongside canonical chaperone functions, sHSPs seem to have been a very plastic scaffold for acquiring multiple related functions across evolution. This review aims to...

Sumario:Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are widespread in every kingdom of life, being indispensable for protein quality control networks. Alongside canonical chaperone functions, sHSPs seem to have been a very plastic scaffold for acquiring multiple related functions across evolution. This review aims to summarize what is known about sHSPs functioning in the Bacteria Kingdom.
