ST13/HIP is a cytoplasmic co-chaperone involved in the regulation of Hsc70 chaperone activity and the maturation of progesterone receptor. ST13/HIP is made of two structural and functional domains, an NH2-terminal domain, responsible for the dimerization and the overall asymmetry of the molecule, and a COOH-terminal globular domain, both involved in Hsc70 and unfolded protein binding (1). By collaborating with other positive co-factors such as Hsp40 and the Hsp70-Hsp90 organizing protein (Hop), or competing with negative co-factors such as Bcl2-associated athanogen 1 (Bag1), ST13/HIP facilitates may facilitate the chaperone function of Hsc/Hsp70 in protein folding and repair, and in controlling the activity of regulatory proteins
such as steroid receptors and regulators of proliferation or apoptosis (2).
