Abstract excerpt
Chaperonins, a subgroup of molecular chaperones, form ring-shaped structures and assist folding of proteins by enclosing them in their inner cavity. The mitochondrial Hsp60/Hsp10 chaperonin system is essential for cell viability and only a very small number of mutations causing human disease have so far been found that appear to selectively affect neuronal tissues. We here review the knowledge on the mammalian...
