UniProtKB description: An ATP-independent periplasmic chaperone, decreases protein aggregation and helps protein refolding. Binds substrate over a large region of its convex inner surface (PubMed:21317898, PubMed:24497545). Substrate protein folds while it is bound to chaperone (PubMed:26619265). Increasing Spy flexibility increases its substrate affinity and overall chaperone activity (shown for 3 different substrates) (PubMed:24497545). Protects proteins in vitro against tannin inactivation; tannins have antimicrobial activity (PubMed:21317898). Overexpression enhances the stability of otherwise unstable periplasmic proteins (PubMed:21317898).
