A and 1 mM b-mercaptoethanol. The secondary structure estimation for TL32711 LbAha1 was performed using the DichroWeb server. LbAha1 chemical-induced unfolding, followed by CD signal at 220 nm, was carried out using a 1 mm path length quartz cuvette with 0.25 mg.mL21 of protein in the same buffer, as described earlier, after incubation at room temperature for 1 hour. All CD data were normalized to residual molar ellipticity. The intrinsic fluorescence emission measurements were performed in an F-4500 fluorescence spectrophotometer at 20uC. The fluorescence emission spectra of 5 mM of 24634219 LbAha1 in the buffer described above were read in a 160.2 cm quartz cuvette after sample excitation at 280 nm. The chemical-induced unfolding experiments followed by intrinsic fluorescence emission were performed with LbAha1 5 mM prepared in the buffer described above containing the indicated denaturant agent. The fluorescence emission spectra were recorded after incubation 21164513 at room Materials and Methods Sequence Analysis and Homology Molecular Modeling LbAha1 amino acid sequence was aligned with yAha1 and hAha1 using the Clustal W program. The Sednterp program was used to estimate some of the LbAha1 physicochemical parameters. The homology-modeling of LbAha1 N- and C-terminal domains were automatically built by the Swiss Model server using as LbAha1 Low Resolution Structural Studies temperature for 1 hour and the data were quantified by the center of spectral mass, as follow:.X X Fi vlw~ li Fi 1 DCpapp ~d dT 3 where, Fi is the fluorescence intensity measured at each wavelength. The chemical-induced unfolding data of both CD and fluorescence data were fitted by a sigmoidal double-Boltzmann function in order to obtain the Cm-values for each transition, which is the chemical-concentration of the midpoint transition. ATPase Measurements The ATPase activity measurements were performed spectrophotometrically by using the EnzChek Phosphate Assay kit as previously shown. Summarily, LbHsp90 was incubated, at 37 oC, with 0.5 mM of ATP in the presence of increasing concentrations of LbAha1. All samples were prepared in 40 mM HEPES buffer, containing 5 mM KCl. The hydrolyzed Pi was quantified as described above and the ATP hydrolysis rate was converted into relative ATPase activity. Hydrodynamic Experiments Analytical SEC experiments were conducted as previously described using the column Superdex 200 10/ 300 GL equilibrated in the 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer, containing 50 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA and 1 mM b-mercaptoethanol. Sedimentation velocity experiments were performed in an Optima XL-A analytical ultracentrifuge with the AN60 Ti rotor set at 30,000 rpm at 20 oC. The LbAha1 sedimentation data were monitored by absorbance at 286 nm and the experiments were performed with protein concentrations of 300 to 1,000 mg.mL21 solved in the buffer described above. The AUC data were treated by the SedFit 12.2 software using the frictional ratio as a regularization parameter, which was 
allowed to float freely. The s-values, obtained from the peak of the continuous c distributions, were normalized to standard conditions. Buffer density and viscosity and, and the partial specific volume of the LbAha1 were estimated by the Sednterp program. The s020,w-value was estimated using the s20,w graph as a function of protein concentration, which is an intrinsic property of the particle. Small Angle X-ray Scattering The LbAha1 SAXS data collection was performed at the D02A SAXS2 beamline in the Labo
