Description
Description
The Heat Shock Protein 40 (Hsp40) family of co-chaperones are essential factors in the Hsp70 chaperone cycle. The Hsp40 family is diverse in size and structure, but a number of them are about 40kDa and have been identified as products of heat shock genes. Their defining feature is the DnaJ or J-domain corresponding to the N-terminal 70 amino acids of the Escherichia coli co-chaperone DnaJ. (Adapted from FBrf0173155).
Notes on Group

The gene products of blp and CG1409 have been excluded from the HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 40/DNAJ CO-CHAPERONES gene group as they lack the functionally important HPD motif of the DnaJ domain(FBrf0134627). blp and CG1409 are Pam16 family proteins, subunits of the mitochondrial presequence translocase-associated motor (PAM) subcomplex of the TIM23 complex.
