CC   -!- FUNCTION: Molecular chaperone capable of stabilizing a range of
CC       proteins. Seems to fulfill an ATP-independent, HSP70-like function in
CC       archaeal de novo protein folding. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00308}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterohexamer of two alpha and four beta subunits.
CC       {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00308}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00308}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the prefoldin subunit alpha family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
