CDJ1 is one of three zinc-finger containing J domain proteins of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This protein is found in chloroplast. In spite that CDJ1 gene is heat shock inducible it does not reflect in increased CDJ1 protein levels. CDJ1 forms complexes with plastidic HSP90C,HSP70B and CGE1 and is a new cohort protein of the chloroplast multi-chaperone complex.DnaJ/Hsp40 (heat shock protein 40) proteins are highly conserved and play crucial roles in protein translation, folding, unfolding, translocation, and degradation.
