PCYT1B Proteins and Enzymes

TCP1 beta is a subunit of a cytosolic hetero-oligomer chaperon that is known to be involved in the folding of actin and tubulin. This protein is a member of the chaperonin family, which includes Escherichia coli GroEL, the mitochondrial heat-shock protein Hsp60, the plastid Rubisco-subunit-binding protein and the archaebacterial protein TF55. These chaperonins assist the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis. Nine different subunits of TCP-1 containing chaperonin complexes from mammalian ...
