Abstract excerpt
Compared to the group I chaperonins, such as Escherichia coli GroEL, which facilitate protein folding, many aspects of the functional mechanism of archaeal group II chaperonins are unclear. Sequence homology between the chaperonin from Pyrococcus furiosus (PfCPN) and other group II chaperonins, together with the homo-oligomeric nature of PfCPN, suggest that PfCPN may serve as a model to clarify the role of the...
