The Cpn10(1) co-chaperonin of A. thaliana functions only as a hetero-oligomer with Cpn20. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The A. thaliana genome encodes five co-chaperonin homologs, three of which are destined to the chloroplast. Two of the proteins, Cpn10(2) and Cpn20, form functional homo-oligomers in vitro.

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

In vivo client proteins of the chaperonin GroEL-GroES provide insight into the role of chaperones in protein evolution

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
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 ...

A multi‐omics investigation of sarcopenia and frailty: Integrating genomic, epigenomic and telomere length data

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcopenia and frailty are complex geriatric syndromes influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies suggest that specific genetic variants, DNA methylation patterns and shortened telomeres are associated with age‐related diseases and might contribute to the development of both sarcopenia and frailty. In this

Fungal, not insect: Revisiting a misidentified Bemisia tabaci protein interacting with a begomovirus coat protein

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 361-363, August 2026.
A small heat‐shock protein (HSP16) previously reported as insect‐derived in Bemisia tabaci actually originates from a fungal species of the genus Wallemia. BLAST, genome survey and phylogenetic analyses support the fungal origin and clarify persistent misattribution in the literature.

Physiology and Transcriptomics Reveal Divergent Strategies of Mycorrhiza‐Mediated Drought Adaptation in Poplar

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5078-5094, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mycorrhizal symbiosis shapes plant growth and stress resilience. Here, we compared physiological and molecular responses of poplars (P. x canescens) colonised by Paxillus involutus (Pi) or Cenococcum geophilum (Cg) under control conditions, drought stress and recovery.

CCT7 Expression Affects the Prognosis of Lung Adenocarcinoma

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background CCT7 is a chaperonin containing tailless complex polypeptide 1 subunit. The study focused on investigating its prognostic significance for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods CCT7 expression in LUAD and matched non‐carcinoma lung samples was examined via TCGA database. Besides, we utilized the GEO database and RT‐qPCR for validating

Mass spectrometry proteomics for studying mitostasis

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function is fundamental to cellular homeostasis. Cells rely on coordinated protein quality control (QC) systems—including intricate chaperone‐protease networks, the ubiquitin‐proteasome system, and cytosolic surveillance pathways—that together form a dynamic, cell‐wide mitostasis network governing the ...

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome as a Chaperonopathy: Dissecting the Major Role of Chaperonin-Like BBS Proteins (BBS6-BBS10-BBS12)

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2017
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder that belongs to the group of ciliopathies, defined as diseases caused by defects in cilia structure and/or function. The six diagnostic features considered for this syndrome include retinal dystrophy,

PolyProline Predictor: A web server for empirical sequence‐based prediction of polyproline II helices

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Polyproline II (PPII) helices are extended left‐handed secondary structures increasingly recognized for their roles in molecular recognition, signaling and within intrinsically disordered regions of proteins. Despite their functional importance, predicting regions with propensity to form PPII helices from sequence alone remains challenging due
