mouse PDCD5-TRiC complex
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedApproximately 10% of eukaryotic proteins are folded by the TRiC/CCT complex (TCP1-ring complex, also called CCT for cytosolic chaperonin containing TCP1), and only open-state TRiC can bind with programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5). However, the physiological role of the PDCD5-TRiC interaction remains elusive. Here, we show that PDCD5 is required for flagellum biogenesis and ciliogenesis and present the PDCD5-TRiC structures in their open states at near-atomic resolution. Mechanically, we find that PDCD5 promotes substrates release by competing with PhLP2A to interact with TRiC, and the depletion of PDCD5 traps flagellum- and cilium-associated proteins within TRiC, finally leading to malformed flagella of spermatids and cilia in mouse ciliated cells. Moreover, we demonstrate that the function of PDCD5 in flagellum biogenesis and ciliogenesis depends on the interaction with TRiC by its C terminus. These findings identify PDCD5 as a TRiC regulator to promote a subset of proteins release. PDCD5 promotes substrate release from the TRiC complex in cilia and flagella.,Wei H, Song Q, Wang L, Deng Q, Wu B, Chen Y, Han T, Guo Y, Li Z, Dong F, Ma S, Zhao Q, Shi X, Pan C, Jiang W, Liu X, Chen Y, Jiao R, Yuan L, Liu C, Guo X, Cong Y, Li W Mol Cell. 2026 Jan 22;86(2):376-392.e11. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2025.12.012.
