Analogous roles of protein and RNA chaperones: The RNA chaperone network consists of DEAD box proteins such as eIF4A to limit self-assembly of RNA in an ATP-dependent manner. Similarly, the protein chaperone HSP70 binds to regions of proteins prone to aggregation to limit protein aggregation and disassemble hydrophobic interactions to allow solubilization and protein refolding.
