“…These hsp70 proteins initially function to prevent aggregation of newly synthesized polypeptide chains (Ellis & van der Vies, 1991). Additional chaperones (Atencio & Yaffe, 1992;Caplan et al, 1992), including those that specifically recognize organellar targeting sequences (Ono & Tuboi, 1990;Murakami et al, 1992;Hachiya et al, 1993), may bind during or after translation. Some precursors will remain unfolded and aggregation prone as long as they are in the cytosol and thus will be associated with chaperones until translocation occurs (Chirico et al, 1988;Deshaies et al, 1988b;Murakami et al, 1988;Zimmermann et al, 1988;Waegemann et ai., 1990).…”
