Hsp100/Clp protein family

The Hsp100/Clp family is a group of ring-shaped AAA+ ATPase chaperones, including ClpA, ClpB, and Hsp104, that use ATP to unfold proteins or dissolve aggregates.

Hsp104

Hsp104 (heat shock protein 104), yeast AAA+ hexameric disaggregase homologous to bacterial ClpB, dissolves protein aggregates, prions, and amyloids with Hsp70; lost in metazoans, studied for neurodegenerative disease therapy.

Hsp110 and related nucleotide-exchange factor families

The Hsp110/Grp170, HspBP1/Sil1, and BAG families are eukaryotic co-chaperone families that restart the Hsp70 cycle by driving ADP release, unlike bacteria, which have only GrpE.

Hsp70

Hsp70 (70 kDa heat shock protein, DnaK in bacteria) is a conserved ATP-driven molecular chaperone family that folds, translocates, and disaggregates proteins; discovered by Ritossa in Drosophila in 1962, with 13 human members including Hsp72, BiP, and mortalin.

Hsp90 buffering of genetic variation

Hsp90 buffering of genetic variation is the ability of the Hsp90 chaperone to hide the effects of genetic variants until stress or inhibition reveals them, making Hsp90 a capacitor of variation.
