Model for Hsp70 chaperone machines. Binding of distinct chaperone cofactors to the N-terminal ATPase domain of Hsp70 (ATPase) and to its C-terminus (C) may give rise to chaperone machines involved in protein folding and protein degradation, respectively. The cofactors Hip and BAG-1 compete for binding to the ATPase domain, while Hop and CHIP associate with the C-terminus in a competitive manner. During folding and degradation, Hsp70 appears to co-operate with cofactors of the Hsp40 protein family. pep., peptide binding domain of Hsp70; ubl, ubiquitin-like domain of BAG-1; U, U-box of CHIP.
