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.
小分子热休克蛋白(sHSPs)广泛存在于生命的各个领域,对蛋白质质量控制系统是不可或缺的。除了经典的伴侣蛋白功能外,sHSPs 似乎还是一个非常灵活的支架,可以在进化过程中获得多种相关功能。本文旨在总结目前已知的 sHSPs 在细菌王国中的功能。
