Cytosolic chaperonin-containing

Kubota, H., G. Hynes, and K. Willison (1995b). The eighth Cct gene, Cctq, encoding the theta subunit of the cytosolic chaperonin containing TCP-1. Gene 154, 231-236. 

The eukaryotic chaperonin TRiC (T-complex polypeptide (TCP-1) ring complex or cytosolic chaperonin-containing TCP-1 (CCT)) is composed of an eight-subunit Hsp60 complex. The barrel-shaped TRiC complex binds to partially folded or misfolded target proteins and holds the protein to facilitate protein folding. The TRiC chaperonin is required for the folding of proteins such as tubulin, actin, and a number of other structurally complex proteins.
