Open state CCT-G beta 5 complex
Structural highlights
FunctionTCPZ_HUMAN Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone complex that assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis (PubMed:25467444). The TRiC complex mediates the folding of WRAP53/TCAB1, thereby regulating telomere maintenance (PubMed:25467444). The TRiC complex plays a role in the folding of actin and tubulin (Probable).[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Chaperonin Containing Tailless polypeptide 1 (CCT) complex is an essential protein folding machine with a diverse clientele of substrates, including many proteins with beta-propeller domains. Here, we determine the structures of human CCT in complex with its accessory co-chaperone, phosducin-like protein 1 (PhLP1), in the process of folding Gbeta(5), a component of Regulator of G protein Signaling (RGS) complexes. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) and image processing reveal an ensemble of distinct snapshots that represent the folding trajectory of Gbeta(5) from an unfolded molten globule to a fully folded beta-propeller. These structures reveal the mechanism by which CCT directs Gbeta(5) folding through initiating specific intermolecular contacts that facilitate the sequential folding of individual beta sheets until the propeller closes into its native structure. This work directly visualizes chaperone-mediated protein folding and establishes that CCT orchestrates folding by stabilizing intermediates through interactions with surface residues that permit the hydrophobic core to coalesce into its folded state. , PMID:37852256[2] From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
