Abstract
The folding and assembly of proteins in cells often requires the assis tance of molecular chaperones such as the Hsp70 and Hsp60 heat shock p roteins. Hsp70 chaperones cooperate with DnaJ and GrpE homologues to e nsure a productive folding cycle. In this study we describe the gene f or the first chloroplast localized DnaJ homologue and present evidence that the gene product is at least partially associated with the inner envelope membrane. Immunoblot analysis also provides evidence for the presence of a GrpE homologue in plastids.
