Visualizing chaperonin function in situ by cryo-electron tomography [PDF]
Chaperonins are large barrel-shaped complexes that mediate ATP-dependent protein folding 1–3 . The bacterial chaperonin GroEL forms juxtaposed rings that bind unfolded protein and the lid-shaped cofactor GroES at their apertures. In vitro analyses of the

Abscisic acid signaling homeostasis is essential for seed storability. The molecular chaperone OsCPN10a enhances rice seed storability by forming a trimeric chaperone complex with OsCPN20‐OsHSP60‐3B that attenuates abscisic acid signaling via direct interaction with OsPYL10‐OsABIL1, thereby maintaining starch integrity and offering a promising target ...

Decoding GUN1 in plastid‐to‐nucleus signaling: what it doesn't, what it does, and why it matters
Publication history of plant GUN1 research. Summary Plastid‐to‐nucleus retrograde signaling coordinates nuclear gene expression with the developmental and physiological state of plastids. GENOMES UNCOUPLED 1 (GUN1), a chloroplast‐localized PPR‐SMR protein, remains a central yet poorly understood component of this network.

The chaperonin from the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus promotes correct refolding and prevents thermal denaturation in vitro. [PDF]
We have isolated a chaperonin from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus based on its ability to inhibit the spontaneous refolding 5a0t "C of dimeric S. solfataricus malic enzyme.

Crystal Structure of Chaperonin GroEL from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a plant pathogen that causes bacterial blight of rice, with outbreaks occurring in most rice-growing countries. Thus far, there is no effective pesticide against bacterial blight.

Structural and functional investigation of Φ-EL-chaperonin mediated protein folding [PDF]
Chaperonins are ubiquitous, sequence related protein complexes that aid in the folding of nascent and misfolded polypeptides in an ATP driven pathway. Recently a GroEL-like, 860 kilo Dalton chaperonin protein complex was identified and isolated from the ...

Crystal Structure of the 65 Kilodalton Heat Shock Protein, Chaperonin 60.2, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Chaperonin 60s are a ubiquitous class of proteins that promote folding and assembly of other cellular polypeptides in an ATP dependent manner. The oligomeric state of chaperonin 60s has been shown to be crucial to their role as molecular chaperones ...

The Chaperonin TRiC/CCT Inhibitor HSF1A Protects Cells from Intoxication with Pertussis Toxin
Pertussis toxin (PT) is a bacterial AB5-toxin produced by Bordetella pertussis and a major molecular determinant of pertussis, also known as whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease.

Dual Function of Protein Confinement in Chaperonin-assisted Protein Folding [PDF]
The GroEL/GroES chaperonin system mediates the folding of a range of newly synthesized polypeptides in the bacterial cytosol. Using a rapid biotin-streptavidin-based inhibition of chaperonin function, we show that the cage formed by GroEL and its ...
