Protein
Prefoldin subunit 1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Binds specifically to cytosolic chaperonin (c-CPN) and transfers target proteins to it. Binds to nascent polypeptide chain and promotes folding in an environment in which there are many competing pathways for nonnative proteins.
Similarity
Belongs to the prefoldin subunit beta family.
