Evolution of the chaperonin families (HSP60, HSP 10 and TCP‐1) of proteins and the origin of eukaryotic cells
Abstract
The members of the 10 kDa and 60 kDa heat-shock chaperonin proteins (Hsp10 and Hsp60 or Cpn10 and Cpn60), which form an operon in bacteria, are present in all eubacteria and eukaryotic cell organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. In archaebacteria and eukaryotic cell cytosol, no close homologues of Hsp10 or Hsp60 have been identified. However, these species (or cell compartments) contain the Tcp-1 family of proteins (distant …
