The Function of Different Subunits of the Molecular Chaperone CCT in the Microsporidium Nosema bombycis: NbCCTζ Interacts with NbCCTα.

ABSTRACT: Chaperonin containing tailless complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) is a molecular chaperone protein that consists of eight completely different subunits and assists in the folding of newly synthesized peptides. The zeta subunit of CCT is a regulatory factor for the folding and assembly of cytoskeletal proteins as individuals or complexes. In this study, the zeta subunit of Nosema bombycis (NbCCTζ) is identified for the first time. The complete ORF of the NbCCTζ gene is 1533 bp in length and encodes a 510 amino acid polypeptide. IFA results indicate that NbCCTζ is colocalized with actin and β-tubulin in the cytoplasm during the proliferative phase and that NbCCTζ is completely colocalized with NbCCTα in the cytoplasm of N. bombycis throughout the entire life cycle. Furthermore,
