A protein (PrX) was heated in vitro to 45C for 15 min, in the presence or absence of Hsp40, Hsc70, and ATP. The amount of PrX in aggregated (P, pellet) and soluble (S) fractions was then quantified (Bars, 1 SD). Based on these data, answer the following questions. In all cases, give brief justification for your answer. a) How does Hsp40 alone influence the solubility of PrX? b) How does Hsc70 alone influence the solubility of PrX? c) Do Hsp40 and Hsc70 co-operate in this experiment? d) Which components combined provide maximal solubility of PrX after heat shock?
