【 摘 要 】
The TRiC (TCP1 Ring Complex) chaperonin complex participates in the functional folding of actin, centractin, α-,β-,γ-tubulin, and phytochrome. Each of the cytoskeletal proteins contain a peptide, RK(A,C,T)F/KRAF, located towards the C-terminus, which is homologous to a TCP1α peptide, while the equivalent phytochrome peptide (RLKAF in certain isoforms) is very similar to the KLRAF peptide of TCP1α. We propose that this TCP1α peptide binds to the nascent polypeptides as they emerge from the ribosome, that this binding restricts the folding pathway, and that the TCP1α peptide is subsequently displaced by the synthesis of the consensus peptide. This hypothesis is strongly supported by the crystallographic structure of actin.
