Protein misfolding and aggregation are pathological events that place a significant amount of stress on the maintenance of protein homeostasis (proteostasis). To prevent and repair protein misfolding and aggregation, cells are equipped with robust mechanisms that mainly rely on molecular chaperones. Two classes of molecular chaperones, heat shock protein 70 kDa (Hsp70) and Hsp40, recognize and bind to misfolded proteins, preventing their toxic biomolecular aggregation and enabling refolding or targeted degradation. Here, we review the current state of structural biology of Hsp70 and Hsp40-Hsp70 complexes and examine the link between their structures, dynamics, and functions. We highlight the power of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to untangle complex relationships behind molecular chaperones and their mechanism(s) of action. Hsp70 and Hsp40 are molecular chaperones that prevent protein misfolding and aggregation. Here, Alderson et al. review the structures and internal dynamics of Hsp70 and its interaction with Hsp40.
