Abstract
Background: Hsp110s are considered as mere nucleotide exchange factors of the Hsp70s. Results: Human cytosolic Hsp110s can use ATP to unfold misfolded polypeptides and act as equal partner with Hsp70 to solubilize stable protein aggregates. Conclusion: Hsp110s are Hsp70-like polypeptide unfolding chaperones. Significance: Hsp110s are powerful disaggregating chaperones that can collaborate with Hsp70s to detoxify misfolding proteins in degenerative diseases.
