Summary
A highly conserved protein folding machine has been maintained in the cytosol of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and in eukaryotic mitochondria. Homologous components of this machinery have also been identified in other organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum in which HSP70 and DnaJ-like homologs reside. The high degree of conservation presumably reflects the proficiency with which these molecules have evolved to mediate the folding of proteins to their native functional states.
