Dissecting intrinsic chaperonin activity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 It has long been known that the linear sequence of amino acids along the polypeptide chains contains all the necessary information required to determine the correct three-dimensional structure of a protein (1). Indeed, a large number of proteins have been shown to refold spontaneously in vitro from an unfolded denatured state to the native folded state

Chaperonin Abundance Enhances Bacterial Fitness
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 The ability of chaperonins to buffer mutations that affect protein folding pathways suggests that their abundance should be evolutionarily advantageous. Here, we investigate the effect of chaperonin overproduction on cellular fitness in Escherichia coli.

Evolvability of Chaperonin Substrate Proteins [PDF]
, 2009 Molecular chaperones ensure that their substrate proteins reach the functional native state, and prevent their aggregation. Recently, an additional function was proposed for molecular chaperones: they serve as buffers (_capacitors_) for evolution by ...

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Cilia in Nervous System Development, Function, and Disease
MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.Cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles that function as essential sensory and motility platforms in the nervous system. This review outlines key cilia‐dependent signaling pathways and their roles in neural development and function. Furthermore, it highlights how ciliary dysfunction can lead to a variety of neurological disorders, known as ...

Cryo-EM structure of human mitochondrial HSPD1
iScience, 2021 Summary: Chaperonins play an important role in folding newly synthesized or translocated proteins in all organisms. The bacterial chaperonin GroEL has served as a model system for the understanding of these proteins.
