Abstract:SummaryThe prefoldin complex (PFDc) was identified in humans as co-chaperone of the cytosolic chaperonin TRiC/CCT. It is conserved in eukaryotes and is composed of subunits PFD1 to 6. PFDc-TRiC/CCT operates folding actin and tubulins. In addition to this function, PFDs participate in a wide range of cellular processes, both in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, and their malfunction cause developmental alterations and disease in animals, and altered growth and environmental responses in yeast and plants.
