abstract：:Actin, an abundant cytosolic protein in eukaryotic cells, is dependent on the interaction with the chaperonin tail-less complex polypeptide 1 ring complex (TRiC) to fold to the native state. The prokaryotic chaperonin GroEL also binds non-native beta-actin, but is unable to guide beta-actin toward the native state. In...
