Abstract excerpt
The DnaJ (Hsp40) cochaperone regulates the DnaK (Hsp70) chaperone by accelerating ATP hydrolysis in a cycle closely linked to substrate binding and release. The J-domain, the signature motif of the Hsp40 family, orchestrates interaction with the DnaK ATPase domain. We studied the J-domain by creating 42 mutant E. coli DnaJ variants and examining their phenotypes in various separate in vivo assays, namely,...
