A novel ubiquitous protein ‘chaperonin’ supports the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondrion and plant chloroplast
Abstract
The deduced amino acid sequences for a major mitochondrial protein (designated P1, related to the 'chaperonin' family of proteins) from human and Chinese hamster cells show extensive similarity (greater than 60% identity observed over the entire length) with a related protein present in evolutionarily as divergent organisms as Escherichia coli, Coxiella burnetii, Mycobacterium species, cyanobacteria as well as in yeast mitochondria and higher …
