  • Title: Isolation and characterization of a Paracentrotus lividus cDNA encoding a stress-inducible chaperonin.
    Author: Gianguzza F, Ragusa MA, Roccheri MC, Di Liegro I, Rinaldi AM.
    Journal: Cell Stress Chaperones; 2000 Apr; 5(2):87-9. PubMed ID: 11147969.
    Abstract:
    Chaperonins are ubiquitous proteins that facilitate protein folding in an adenosine triphosphate-dependent manner. Here we report the isolation of a sea urchin cDNA (Plhsp60) coding for mitochondrial chaperonin (Cpn60), whose basal expression is further enhanced by heat shock. The described cDNA corresponds to a full-length mRNA encoding a protein of 582 amino acids, the first 32 of which constitute a putative mitochondrial targeting leader sequence. Comparative analysis has demonstrated that this protein is highly conserved in evolution.
