AIGR Review Snapshot
- Description: DNAJC1 (MTJ1/ERdj1, human homolog HTJ1) is a single-pass type I endoplasmic reticulum (and nuclear/microsomal) membrane protein of the DNAJC subfamily of J-domain co-chaperones. Its N-terminal J domain faces the ER lumen and stimulates the ATPase activity of the ER HSP70 chaperone BiP (HSPA5), while its large cytosolic C-terminal region associates with ribosomes and modulates protein synthesis, and contains two SANT (Myb-like) domains. Through its second SANT domain it binds the serpin SERPINA3/alpha-1-antichymotrypsin and the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain ITIH4, modulating their protease-inhibitory/processing behavior. DNAJC1 thereby couples the ER-membrane BiP chaperone system to translation and to regulation of secreted protease/protease-inhibitor activity.

PN Consistency Summary
- Consistency: Consistent on the chaperone axis. Notes/YAML describe a single-pass type-I ER-membrane J-protein whose lumenal J domain stimulates BiP/HSPA5 ATPase (GO:0001671 TAS PMID:14668352, ACCEPT/core) and binds BiP (GO:0051087 IEA, ACCEPT). PN "J-domain HSP70 cochaperone" type fits. The review adds two non-chaperone facets PN does not capture (ribosome-associated translation modulation; SANT2-mediated serpin/protease regulation — GO:0045861, GO:0050708) — these are extra, not contradictory.
- PN story / NEW pressure: PN's HSP70-binding claim is captured (GO:0001671 ATPase activator + GO:0051087 chaperone binding, both ACCEPT/core). PN-projected GO:0030544 (verified real) is narrower than GO:0051087 — defensible specialization since DNAJC1 has TAS evidence its J domain stimulates BiP. No NEW GO term needed for proteostasis. Verdict: already captured.
- Evidence alignment: Core PMID:14668352 (J-domain→BiP ATPase; SANT2-serpin) and PMID:16271702 (ITIH4) carry the function; PN supplies path context. No conflict; review's many HT-interactome PMIDs (CFTR, RMND1, etc.) are non-core and absent from PN.
- Verdict: CONSISTENT — GO:0030544 a sound narrower specialization of the verified J-domain→BiP ATPase-stimulating MF; node mapping correct.

Verdict: already captured.
- Mapping strategy: GO:0030544 mapping is appropriate and does not over-reach — DNAJC1 has direct (TAS) BiP-ATPase-stimulation evidence, a genuine HSP70-cochaperone MF (not an over-broad holdase/unfolded-protein-binding claim). Note the partner is ER HSP70 BiP, consistent with "Hsp70 protein binding."

PN row 1: ER proteostasis | Chaperone | HSP70 system | J-domain containing HSP70 cochaperone
- UniProt: Q96KC8
- In branches: ER
- PN-node mapping records (path + ancestors):
- [type] ER proteostasis|Chaperone|HSP70 system|J-domain containing HSP70 cochaperone
status=mapped scope=ok_for_propagation_to_go GO=[GO:0030544 Hsp70 protein binding]
rationale: In the PN hierarchy, this type denotes J-domain cochaperones assigned to the HSP70 system. Their shared mechanistic role is direct interaction with HSP70-family chaperones, making Hsp70 protein binding the most defensible GO target in the current cache.
- [group] ER proteostasis|Chaperone|HSP70 system
status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
rationale: Reviewed as a broad PN category rather than a single GO class. The member genes span multiple activities, complexes, or contexts, so direct propagation from this node would overstate the shared biology.
- [class] ER proteostasis|Chaperone
status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
rationale: Reviewed as a broad PN category rather than a single GO class. The member genes span multiple activities, complexes, or contexts, so direct propagation from this node would overstate the shared biology.
- [branch] ER proteostasis
status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
rationale: Reviewed as a top-level PN branch. This is a systems/taxonomy umbrella, not a direct GO assertion; narrower child curations carry any propagating GO mappings.
