Two families of molecular chaperone, the hsp 60-GroEL family and the TF55-TCP1 family, have been discovered in evolutionarily related cellular compartments. A member of one of these families, hsp 60, has been shown to play a global role in polypeptide chain folding in mitochondria. We review here studies of both hsp 60 and other family members, discussing their essential physiological roles and mechanism of action.

Proper protein folding is an essential process for all organisms. Prefoldin (PFD) is a molecular chaperone that assists protein folding by delivering non-native proteins to group II chaperonin. A heterohexamer of eukaryotic PFD has been shown to specifically recognize and deliver non-native actin and tubulin to chaperonin-containing TCP-1 (CCT), but the mechanism of specific recognition is still unclear. To determine its crystal structure, recombinant human PFD was reconstituted, purified and crystallized. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 4.7 Å resolution. The crystals belonged to space groupP21212, with unit-cell parametersa= 123.2,b= 152.4,c= 105.9 Å.
