Chaperonin (CPN) are oligomeric proteins which mediate the folding of polypeptide chains. Group I CPNs are found in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria. They include the most characterized GroEL/GroES complex from ''Escherichia coli'' and CPN60/CPN10 from ''Thermus thermophilus''. The larger subunit (GroEL, CPN60) contains 3 domains. The apical domain is the one which binds the substrate. Group II CPNs are found in eukaryotic cytosol and archaea. Thermosome is a CPN complex found in archaea. CCT is a CPN complex found in eukarya. | Chaperonin (CPN) are oligomeric proteins which mediate the folding of polypeptide chains. Group I CPNs are found in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria.

Chaperonin (CPN) are oligomeric proteins which mediate the folding of polypeptide chains. Group I CPNs are found in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria. They include the most characterized GroEL/GroES complex from Escherichia coli and CPN60/CPN10 from Thermus thermophilus. The larger subunit (GroEL, CPN60) contains 3 domains. The apical domain is the one which binds the substrate. Group II CPNs are found in eukaryotic cytosol and archaea. Thermosome is a CPN complex found in archaea. CCT is a CPN complex found in eukarya.
