From guide to guard-activation mechanism of the stress-sensing chaperone Get3

Authors Ulrich K, Farkas Á, Chan O, Katamanin O, Schwappach B, Jakob U Journal Molecular Cell Citation Mol Cell. 2022 Sep 1;82(17):3226-3238.e7. Abstract Oxidative stress conditions can cause ATP depletion, oxidative protein unfolding, and potentially toxic protein aggregation. To alleviate this proteotoxic stress, the highly conserved yeast protein, Get3, switches
