complejo de chaperonina
Scope note: Clase de CHAPERONAS MOLECULARES de secuencias relacionadas, que se encuentran en las bacterias, mitocondrias y plástidos. Las chaperoninas son proteínas constitutivas abundantes, que aumentan en cantidad por causa de tensiones como el choque térmico, las infecciones bacterianas de macrófagos o el incremento en el contenido celular de proteínas no plegadas. Las chaperoninas bacterianas son inmunógenos importantes en infecciones bacterianas humanas debido a su acumulación durante el estrés de la infección. Dos miembros de esta clase de chaperonas son la CHAPERONINA 10 y la CHAPERONINA 60.

Scope note: A family of multisubunit protein complexes that form into large cylindrical structures which bind to and encapsulate non-native proteins. Chaperonins utilize the energy of ATP hydrolysis to enhance the efficiency of PROTEIN FOLDING reactions and thereby help proteins reach their functional conformation. The family of chaperonins is split into GROUP I CHAPERONINS, and GROUP II CHAPERONINS, with each group having its own repertoire of protein subunits and subcellular preferences.
