CommentThis protein acts as an export-specific cytosolic chaperone. It binds the mature region of pre-proteins destined for secretion, prevents aggregation, and delivers them to SecA. This protein is tetrameric in E. coli. The archaeal Methanococcus jannaschii homolog MJ0357 has been shown (PMID:14985117) to share many properties, including chaperone-like activity, and scores between trusted and noise.
