Hsp70-nucleotide exchange factor (NEF) Fes1 has non-NEF roles in degradation of gluconeogenic enzymes and cell wall integrity.
Fes1 is a conserved armadillo repeat-containing Hsp70 nucleotide exchange factor important for growth at high temperature, proteasomal protein degradation and prion propagation.Depleting or mutating Fes1 induces a stress response and causes defects in these processes that are ascribed solely to K-7 disruption of Fes1 regulation of Hsp70.Here, we fi
