Protein
Hsp90 co-chaperone AHA1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Co-chaperone that binds to the molecular chaperone HSP82 and stimulates its ATPase activity. Binding to HSP82 promotes a conformational switch in the catalytic loop of HSP82, facilitating the interaction of the catalytic 'Arg-380' with ATP in the N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain. Although not essential, it confers thermotolerance when intracellular levels of HSP82 are limiting.
Similarity
Belongs to the AHA1 family.
