Recognition of diseases associated with mutations of the chaperone system genes, e.g., chaperonopathies, is on the rise. Hereditary and clinical aspects are established, but the impact of the mutation on the chaperone molecule and the mechanisms ...

Chaperonins are ubiquitous and essential protein folding machines. They have a striking structure, with two rings of seven, eight, or nine protomers forming a "double doughnut" complex, with the cavity in each ring being the likely site for protein folding to take place. The group I chaperonins, found in bacteria and the organelles descended from them,

Chaperonin-co-chaperonin interactions measured by SPR. [PDF]
Association and dissociation patterns of 10 µM of the indicated chaperonin to immobilized (A) GroES (∼ 600 Relative Units-RU) or (B) mHsp10 (∼ 800 RU) in the presence of 2 mM ATP.

Identification of a chaperonin-10 homologue in plant mitochondria [PDF]
Chaperonin-60 and chaperonin-10 form stable binary complexes in the presence of ATP. This phenomenon has been used as the basis for the identification of a chaperonin-10 homologue in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) mitochondria.

Protein folding is often hampered by intermolecular protein aggregation, which can be prevented by a variety of chaperones in the cell. Bacterial chaperonin GroEL is a ring-shaped chaperone that forms complexes with its cochaperonin GroES, creating ...

Heat Shock Protein 60 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Insights and Perspectives
Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is a mitochondrial chaperone that is implicated in physiological and pathological processes. For instance, it contributes to protein folding and stability, translocation of mitochondrial proteins, and apoptosis.

Reconstitution of Pure Chaperonin Hetero-Oligomer Preparations in Vitro by Temperature Modulation
Chaperonins are large, essential, oligomers that facilitate protein folding in chloroplasts, mitochondria, and eubacteria. Plant chloroplast chaperonins are comprised of multiple homologous subunits that exhibit unique properties.

Chaperonin containing tailless complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) or tailless complex polypeptide 1 ring complex (TRiC) is an essential eukaryotic molecular chaperone. It is a multi-subunit oligomer of two rings of eight individual protein subunits.
