Function
RNA-binding proteins are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism such as processing, translational control, stabilization, localization and transport.
Many of these proteins bind several RNA targets and have multiple functions.
Feautures
RNA transport
RNA localization
RNA metabolism
RNA splicing

chaperonins
23 November 2003Chaperonins are multisubunit, cylinder-shaped molecular chaperones involved in folding newly synthesized polypeptides.
Chaperonins are key components of the cellular chaperone machinery. These large, cylindrical complexes contain a central cavity that binds to unfolded polypeptides and sequesters them from the cellular environment. Substrate folding then occurs in this central cavity in an ATP-dependent manner.
The eukaryotic chaperonin TCP-1 ring complex (TRiC, also called CCT) is (...) -
