Abstract
The heat-shock protein 70 chaperone machine is functionally connected to the ubiquitin-proteasome system by the co-chaperone CHIP. In this article, we discuss evidence that the neuronal DnaJ proteins HSJ1a and HSJ1b may represent a further link between the cellular protein folding and degradation machineries. We have demonstrated that HSJ1 proteins contain putative ubiquitin interaction motifs and can modulate the cellular processing of rhodopsin, a protein that is targeted for degradation by the proteasome when it is misfolded.Entities:
