Bacteria binding and antibacterial activities of three small heat shock protein from the swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), a group of molecular chaperones with small molecular mass, are involved in immune responses in many organisms. However, the actual roles of sHSPs in immune defence against bacteria remain largely unclear. In this study, three sHSPs, named PtHSP10, PtHSP20 and PtHSP...
