Pseudogenization of the Chaperonin System in ‘<em>Candidatus</em> Phytoplasma pruni’ Reveals Insights into the Role of GroEL/Cpn60 in Phytopathogenic Mollicutes
2025-06-10
Abstract excerpt
GroE is a chaperonin folding system consisting of GroEL (Cpn60, a 60 kDa chaperonin), and the smaller co-chaperonin GroES (Cpn10). Many “client” proteins require GroE to fold properly, including several that are essential for cell viability. Unsurprisingly then, GroE is found in nearly all bacteria and eukaryotes. Mollicutes are the only microorganisms that lack GroE in almost all cases. Only two clades of Mollicu...
