Abstract excerpt
J-proteins are obligate partners of Hsp70s, forming a ubiquitous class of molecular chaperone machinery. The ribosome-associated Hsp70 of yeast Ssb binds nascent polypeptides as they exit the ribosome. Here we report that the ribosome-associated J-protein Zuo1 is the partner of Ssb. However, Zuo1 efficiently stimulates the ATPase activity of Ssb only when in complex with another Hsp70, Ssz1. Ssz1 binds ATP, but...
