The mitochondrial chaperone HSPD1 folds MTHFD2 independently of its co-chaperone HSPE1

Shani Gabbay, Hila Ben-David, Shatha S. Alassam…·Barak Rotblat

This study identifies HSPD1 as a chaperone for MTHFD2, independent of HSPE1, and shows distinct functional roles for HSPD1 and HSPE1 in mitochondrial biology.
