Abstract excerpt
DnaJ is a universally conserved heat shock protein involved in protein folding. DnaJ contains four conserved domains. The N-terminal 'J-domain' has been shown to be responsible for the recruitment of its specific DnaK partner protein. The 'Gly/Phe'- and 'Cys-rich' domains have been implicated in stabilizing interactions with DnaK. DnaJ is also able to interact independently with unfolded or native polypeptides....
