| Abstract | A role for heterooligomeric TCP1 complex as a chaperonin in the eukaryotic cytosol has recently been suggested both by structural similarities with other chaperonins and by in vitro experiments showing it to mediate ATP-dependent folding of actin, tubulin, and luciferase. Here we present the primary structure of a second subunit of the complex and present genetic and functional analyses. The TCP1 beta amino acid sequence, predicted from the cloned gene, bears 35% identity to TCP1, termed here TCP1 alpha, containing the same highly conserved residues found in the collective sequence of chaperonins. The predicted product was identified as the fastest-migrating species of the TCP1 complex purified from soluble extracts of yeast. The TCP1 beta gene, like TCP1 alpha, is essential. Strains containing lethal disruptions of either gene could not be rescued by additional copies of the other. Spores bearing disruption of either gene germinated as single, large-budded cells. Similarly, large-budded cells were observed following shift to 37 degrees C of strains carrying temperature-sensitive mutations in either TCP1 alpha or TCP1 beta. The arrested cells contained replicated DNA present in single nuclear masses, associated with abnormal tubulin staining patterns, supporting the assertion that mitotic spindle formation and function are impaired. We conclude that TCP1 beta supplies an essential function that partially overlaps with that of TCP1 alpha in acting as a molecular chaperone in tubulin and spindle biogenesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
