Fig. 1. Schematic and linear representation of the domain structure and
co-chaperone-binding sites of Hsp70 and Hsp90. The amino-acid residue numbers,
domains and co-chaperone-binding sites are indicated. (A) Domain structure of
human Hsp70. The C-terminal EEVD motif is characteristic for cytosolic Hsp70s
and is involved in binding of TPR-domain-containing proteins. (B) Domain
structure of human Hsp90
. The C-terminal MEEVD motif is involved in
binding of TPR-domain-containing proteins. Binding sites of co-chaperones on
Hsp90 are a composite of sites of interaction for mammalian and yeast Hsp90
[adapted from previous reports (Chen and
Smith, 1998; Grammatikakis et
