Protein Domain : Chaperonin Cpn20 IPR017416

Type  Family
Description  Cpn20 is a functional homologue of the cpn10 (also known as GroES) co-chaperonin, but it consists of two cpn10-like units joined head-to-tail by a short chain of amino acids. This double protein is unique to plastids and was shown to exist in plants as well plastid-containing parasites [ ]. Cpn20 seems to function as a co-chaperone, along with cpn60, and in certain cases is essential for the discharge of biologically active proteins from cpn60 []. It might be an iron chaperone for superoxide dismutase in activating iron superoxide dismutase (FeSOD) [].
