Summaries
Gene Group (FlyBase)
HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 60 CHAPERONINS - GROUP I -
Group I chaperonins catalyse the ATP-dependent folding of proteins. They are found in prokaryotes and endosymbiotic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. They assemble into large ring-like structures as typified by bacterial GroEL/GroES system. (Adapted from FBrf0190982 and FBrf0232269).

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

        dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene results in a change in cell proliferation and cell size.

        Sequence analysis of l(1)10Ac locus suggests it encodes Hsp60. Molecular analysis of a P-element insertion and genetic rescue experiments confirm l(1)10Ac encodes Hsp60. Hsp60 is differentially expressed throughout development, protein distribution is very dynamic during embryogenesis accumulating in specific cell types.

        Hsp60 is essential from the early stages of embryogenesis.

        A protein crossreacting to mammalian CPN60 is detected in the mitochondria of SL2 cells.

        Relationship to Other Genes

        Additional comments

        The Hsp60B gene may have been derived from the Hsp60 gene by retroposition.

        The Hsp60C gene may be derived from the Hsp60 gene by retroposition.

        May correspond to the l(1)10Ac locus.

        Complementation relations among complementing alleles complex and vary according to temperature of rearing, some combinations being heat sensitive and others cold-sensitive. Allelism to Hsp60L12 established for the Russian alleles by Zhimulev et al. and for the G8 alleles by Geer et al. (1983).

        Nomenclature comments

        Renamed from 'Hsp60' to 'Hsp60A' following the nomenclature used in FBrf0190982, and to be consistent with nomenclature of the other three Hsp60 family members (Hsp60B, Hsp60C and Hsp60D).
