Chaperone required for de novo folding of eEF2; facilitates the folding of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 cooperatively with chaperone recruiting factor Hgh1p; binds to both eEF2 (Eft1/2p) and eEF1A (Tef1/2p); conserved protein with a role in cell wall integrity; conserved protein that contains six TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) domains clustered in the C-terminal region; conditional mutant suppressed by overexpression of GFA1; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
