| Type: | Domain | Name: | Heat shock protein 70kD, peptide-binding domain |
| Description: | Members of the 70-kilodalton heat-shock protein (HSP70) family promote protein folding both constitutively and in response to stress. These proteins have two functional units: a substrate-binding unit, and an adenosine triphosphatase unit. The substrate-binding unit of DnaK consists of a beta-sandwich domain followed by alpha-helical segments. The alpha-helical domain stabilises the complex, but does not contact the peptide directly [].This entry represents peptide-binding beta-sandwich domain from DnaK and other HSP70 proteins. | Short Name: | HSP70_peptide-bd |
