Function

HOP protein functions as a co-chaperone linking Hsp90 and Hsp70[1]. See details in Molecular Playground/Hsp70-Hsp90.

Structural highlights

HOP contains 3 Tpr domains which bind the C-terminal peptide EEVD of Hsp70 and Hsp90. Tpr domain is a TetraPeptide Repeat motif of α-helix pairs involved in protein-protein adhesion. Human HOP protein Tpr domains are: Tpr1 residues 1-118; Tpr2 residues 222-352; Tpr3 residues 356-477.
