Abstract:
A crystal structure of a yeast small heat shock protein reported by Hanazono and colleagues in this issue of Structure reveals the versatility of the α-crystallin domain dimer for building assemblies of different size and symmetry. The domains assemble into a vessel filled with hydrophobic sequence extensions enriched with phenylalanines.
