Abstract excerpt
Ydj1 is the major type I Hsp40 (heat-shock protein 40) family member in yeast. Ydj1 can pair with yeast Hsp70 Ssa1 to facilitate protein translocation and protein folding. Ydj1 itself can also function as a molecular chaperone to bind the non-native polypeptides and suppress protein aggregations in vitro. The crystal structure of Ydj1 complexed with its peptide substrate GWLYEIS reveals that a hydrophobic pocket...
