AccessionGenProp0245
Namechaperone system: GroEL/GroES
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionGroEL and GroES comprise the bacterial group I chaperonin, a toroidal complex involved in folding or refolding proteins in the cytosol. Archaea and Eukaryotes have instead (with a few rare cases of overlap) a group II chaperonin complex, usually called the thermosome in the Archaea and CCT in the Eukaryota. At least one member of the archaeal genus Methanosarcina, has both.
JCVI RoleProtein folding and stabilization
Parent PropertyGenProp0248: protein folding
