Protein folding in mitochondria requires complex formation with hsp60 and ATP hydrolysis

Nature volume 341, pages 125–130 (1989)Cite this article

Abstract

Mitochondrial heat-shock protein hsp60 functions in the folding of proteins imported into mitochon-dria. Folding occurs at the surface of hsp60 in an ATP-mediated reaction, followed by release of the bound polypeptides. We propose that hsp60 catalyses protein folding.
