Small heat-shock proteins (sHSP) are important members of the cellular stress response
in all species. Their best described function is the binding of early unfolding states and
the resulting prevention of protein aggregation. Most sHSPs exist as oligomers but vary
in size and subunit organization. Many sHSPs exist as a polydisperse composition of
oligomers which undergoes changes in subunit composition, folding status and rel...
