The BBS/CCT chaperonin complex ensures the localization of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor ADGRV1 to the base of primary cilia [PDF]
Primary cilia are antenna-like sensory organelles present on almost all eukaryotic cells. Their sensory capacity relies on receptors, in particular G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) which localize to the ciliary membrane.

Functional and structural characterisation of Mycobacterial Chaperonins [PDF]
In Mycobacterium tuberculosis there are 2 distinct groEL homologues which encode the chaperonins Cpn60.1 and Cpn60.2, with the latter predicted to be the main house-keeping chaperonin.

Molecular chaperones are essential to all living organisms. Their key role consists of mediating protein folding within the cell. Recent functional studies have provided more detailed information about the function and regulation of the chaperone network.

Chaperonins – keeping a lid on folding proteins [PDF]
Two classes of chaperonins are known in all groups of organisms to participate in the folding of newly synthesized proteins. Whereas bacterial type I chaperonins use a reversibly binding cofactor to temporarily sequester folding substrate proteins within

Local Flexibility of a New Single-Ring Chaperonin Encoded by Bacteriophage AR9 Bacillus subtilis
Chaperonins, a family of molecular chaperones, assist protein folding in all domains of life. They are classified into two groups: bacterial variants and those present in endosymbiotic organelles of eukaryotes belong to group I, while group II includes ...

The Possible Role of the Type I Chaperonins in Human Insulin Self-Association
Insulin is a hormone that attends to energy metabolism by regulating glucose levels in the bloodstream. It is synthesised within pancreas beta-cells where, before being released into the serum, it is stored in granules as hexamers coordinated by Zn2+ and

Identification of elements that dictate the specificity of mitochondrial Hsp60 for its co-chaperonin. [PDF]
Type I chaperonins (cpn60/Hsp60) are essential proteins that mediate the folding of proteins in bacteria, chloroplast and mitochondria. Despite the high sequence homology among chaperonins, the mitochondrial chaperonin system has developed unique ...

The main events in chaperone-assisted protein folding are the binding and ligand-induced release of substrate proteins. Here, we studied the location of denatured proteins previously bound to the GroEL chaperonin resulting from the action of the GroES co-
