StarStarStarStar

Small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs)

StarStarStarStar

Stabilize partially unfolded proteins, preventing aggregation; found in the cytoplasm and in organelles like mitochondria.

StarStarStarStar

Hsp100/Clp Family

StarStarStarStar

Works to disaggregate and reactivate aggregated proteins, often functioning in tandem with the Hsp70 system.

StarStarStarStar

ER chaperones

StarStarStarStar

Facilitate protein folding and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum; BiP (Binding immunoglobulin Protein) is an example.

StarStarStarStar

DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE System

StarStarStarStar

A prokaryotic molecular chaperone system that assists in protein folding, with DnaK as the Hsp70 homolog.

StarStarStarStar

Mitochondrial Import Stimulation Factor (MSF)

StarStarStarStar

Enhances the import of proteins into mitochondria by interacting with mitochondrial chaperones.

StarStarStarStar

T-complex Protein-1 Ring Complex (TRiC)

StarStarStarStar

Chaperonin found in eukaryotes that assists in the folding of actin, tubulin, and other cytosolic proteins.

StarStarStarStar

Cochaperones

StarStarStarStar

Assist the main chaperones by modulating their activity and specificity; Hop (Hsp70-Hsp90 organizing protein) is an example.

StarStarStarStar

Hsp90

StarStarStarStar

Facilitates the stabilization and proper folding of proteins involved in signal transduction; present in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells.

StarStarStarStar

Sigma 32

StarStarStarStar

Not a chaperone itself but a prokaryotic heat shock transcription factor that increases the synthesis of heat shock proteins, including chaperones.

StarStarStarStar

Calnexin/Calreticulin

StarStarStarStar

Facilitate the folding of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum by binding to carbohydrate moieties.

StarStarStarStar

p97/Cdc48

StarStarStarStar

ATPase associated with various cellular activities, involved in the extraction of misfolded proteins from the ER for degradation.

StarStarStarStar

Prefoldin

StarStarStarStar

Captures and stabilizes unfolded proteins, delivering them to a larger chaperonin for folding.

StarStarStarStar

Hsp70

StarStarStarStar

Assists in protein folding and prevents aggregation; found across various cellular compartments such as the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum.

StarStarStarStar

Chaperonins

StarStarStarStar

Provide an isolated environment for proper protein folding; an example is GroEL/GroES in bacteria.

StarStarStarStar

Hsp60

StarStarStarStar

Another term for chaperonins in eukaryotes and mitochondria, aiding in the correct folding of proteins translocated to the mitochondria.
