Iterative BLAST searches, starting with the J domain of DnaJ.
*The number of amino-acid residues in the open-reading frame.
†The position of the J domain in terms of the first and the last residue.
§The number of transmembrane (TM) segments predicted for each protein using the DAS algorithm (see the DAS Transmembrane Prediction server online at http://www.sbc.su.se/%7Emiklos/DAS/maindas.html). The subcellular location is given, along with the function or predicted function (references compiled in the Saccharomyces Genome Database, available online at http://www.yeastgenome.org). ER, endoplasmic reticulum; mRNA, messenger RNA.
