Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP; ATPase involved in protein import into the ER; also acts as a chaperone to mediate protein folding in the ER and may play a role in ER export of soluble proteins; regulates the unfolded protein response via interaction with Ire1p.

Cytoplasmic ATPase that is a ribosome-associated molecular chaperone; functions with J-protein partner Zuo1p; may be involved in folding of newly-made polypeptide chains; member of the HSP70 family; interacts with phosphatase subunit Reg1p; SSB1 has a paralog, SSB2, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family. Ssb-type Hsp70 subfamily.

Heat shock protein SSA1; ATPase involved in protein folding and NLS-directed nuclear transport; member of HSP70 family; required for ubiquitin-dependent degradation of short-lived proteins; forms chaperone complex with Ydj1p; localized to nucleus, cytoplasm, cell wall; 98% identical to paralog Ssa2p with different functional specificity in propagation of yeast [URE3] prions, vacuolar-mediated degradations of gluconeogenesis enzymes; general targeting factor of Hsp104p to prion fibrils.

Cytoplasmic ATPase that is a ribosome-associated molecular chaperone; functions with J-protein partner Zuo1p; may be involved in the folding of newly-synthesized polypeptide chains; member of the HSP70 family; SSB2 has a paralog, SSB1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family. Ssb-type Hsp70 subfamily.

Heat shock protein SSC1, mitochondrial; Hsp70 family ATPase; constituent of the import motor component of the Translocase of the Inner Mitochondrial membrane (TIM23 complex); involved in protein translocation and folding; subunit of SceI endonuclease; SSC1 has a paralog, ECM10, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Heat shock protein SSA2; HSP70 family ATP-binding protein; involved in protein folding, vacuolar import of proteins; required for ubiquitin-dependent degradation of short-lived proteins; associated with chaperonin-containing T-complex; 98% identical to paralog Ssa1p with distinct functional specificity in propagation of yeast [URE3] prions and vacuolar-mediated degradation of gluconeogenesis enzymes; binds tRNA, has role in tRNA nuclear import during starvation.

GrpE protein homolog, mitochondrial; Mitochondrial matrix cochaperone; nucleotide release factor for Ssc1p in protein translocation and folding; also acts as cochaperone for Ssq1p in folding of Fe-S cluster proteins; acts as oxidative sensor to regulate mitochondrial Ssc1p; in presence of oxidative stress, dimeric Mge1p becomes a monomer and unable to regulate Ssc1p function; homolog of E. coli GrpE and human Mge1 (GRPEL1), which also responds to oxidative stress; Belongs to the GrpE family.

Ribosome-associated complex subunit SSZ1; Hsp70 protein that interacts with Zuo1p (a DnaJ homolog); interacts with Zuo1p to form a ribosome-associated complex that binds the ribosome via the Zuo1p subunit; also involved in pleiotropic drug resistance via sequential activation of PDR1 and PDR5; binds ATP.

Heat shock protein of the Hsp70 family; localized in mitochondrial nucleoids, plays a role in protein translocation, interacts with Mge1p in an ATP-dependent manner; overexpression induces extensive mitochondrial DNA aggregations; ECM10 has a paralog, SSC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
