The 70-kDa heat-shock proteins (HSP70) are integral components of the cell’s folding catalysts. Glaciozyma antarctica PI12 is an obligate psychrophilic yeast that possesses six HSP70 genes in its genome. The functions of these HSP70s in G. antarctica in terms of similarities and differences are yet...
