Description | The Pam16 protein (Swiss:P42949) is the fifth essential subunit of the pre-sequence translocase-associated protein import motor (PAM) [1]. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pam16 is required for preprotein translocation into the matrix, but not for protein insertion into the inner membrane [1]. Pam16 has a degenerate J domain. J-domain proteins play important regulatory roles as co-chaperones, recruiting Hsp70 partners and accelerating the ATP-hydrolysis step of the chaperone cycle [2]. Pam16's J-like domain strongly interacts with Pam18's J domain, leading to a productive interaction of Pam18 with mtHsp70 at the mitochondria import channel [3]. Pam18 stimulates the ATPase activity of mtHsp70. |
