[HTML][HTML] Prefoldin, a chaperone that delivers unfolded proteins to cytosolic chaperonin

IE Vainberg, SA Lewis, H Rommelaere, C Ampe… - Cell, 1998 - cell.com
We describe the discovery of a heterohexameric chaperone protein, prefoldin, based on its
ability to capture unfolded actin. Prefoldin binds specifically to cytosolic chaperonin (c-cpn) …
