Abstract
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.Entities:
