CCT (Chaperonin containing TCP-1) is a constitutively expressed eukaryotic chaperonin complex involved in the proper folding of proteins like actin and tubulin. Temperature sensitive mutants of CCT complex have been employed in various genetic screens, acting as models to study human CCT, the defects of which are implicated in disease conditions like neurodegeneration. Mutants of CCT complex are sensitive to cell wall stress agents. In this study, we have tested the effects of sorbitol and protein kinase C overexpression on the temperature sensitivity of mutants. We report that both the factors alleviated temperature sensitivity of mutants, indicating the possible role of CCT in maintaining cell wall integrity in .
包含TCP-1的伴侣蛋白(CCT)是一种组成型表达的真核伴侣蛋白复合体,参与肌动蛋白和微管蛋白等蛋白质的正确折叠。CCT复合体的温度敏感突变体已用于各种遗传筛选,作为研究人类CCT的模型,其缺陷与神经退行性变等疾病状态有关。CCT复合体的突变体对细胞壁应激剂敏感。在本研究中,我们测试了山梨醇和蛋白激酶C过表达对突变体温度敏感性的影响。我们报告这两个因素均减轻了突变体的温度敏感性,表明CCT在维持[具体物种]细胞壁完整性中可能发挥的作用。
