Gene Description

TCP1 (CCT1, CCT-alpha) is the alpha subunit of the cytosolic chaperonin CCT/TRiC. This group II chaperonin is a hexadecamer of two stacked rings, each containing one copy of each of eight paralogous subunits (CCT1-CCT8), enclosing a folding chamber. Each subunit has an equatorial ATP-binding/ATPase domain, an intermediate hinge domain and an apical substrate-binding domain. CCT1 is one of the higher-affinity ATP-binding subunits. ATP binding and hydrolysis around the ring close the chamber and drive folding. TRiC folds newly synthesized cytoskeletal proteins (actin and alpha/beta-tubulin), G-protein beta subunits, WD40-repeat proteins such as the telomerase cofactor TCAB1, and other cytosolic clients. It cooperates with the co-chaperone prefoldin. A centrosomal pool of CCT, together with the chaperonin-like proteins BBS6, BBS10 and BBS12, assembles the BBSome.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000242 pericentriolar material
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Orthology-based annotation of TCP1 to pericentriolar material.
Reason: Some CCT is found at the centrosome, where CCT and the BBS chaperonin-like proteins assemble the BBSome. Most TCP1 is cytosolic, so this specific location transferred by orthology adds little and is not core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20080638
a novel complex composed of three chaperonin-like BBS proteins (BBS6, BBS10, and BBS12) and CCT/TRiC family chaperonins mediates BBSome assembly
GO:0000792 heterochromatin
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Orthology-based annotation of TCP1 to heterochromatin.
Reason: No human evidence places the cytosolic chaperonin subunit on heterochromatin. TCP1 acts in the cytosol, and this orthology transfer most likely reflects a peripheral or isolated observation.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11532003
The chaperonin-containing t-complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) is a cytosolic molecular chaperone composed of eight subunits that assists in the folding of actin, tubulin and other cytosolic proteins.
GO:0001669 acrosomal vesicle
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Orthology-based annotation of TCP1 to the acrosomal vesicle.
Reason: CCT subunits have been reported on the sperm surface and acrosomal region in rodents, where they are proposed to take part in zona pellucida recognition. This is a specialized location in a specific cell type and is kept as non-core.
Supporting Evidence:

IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Orthology-based annotation of TCP1 as part of the zona pellucida receptor complex.
Reason: This is a moonlighting association reported for rodent sperm, separate from the cytosolic folding role. It is kept as non-core and deferred to the source curators.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: TCP1 was recovered in a proteome-wide mRNA interactome capture (HDA).
Reason: High-throughput mRNA-crosslinking capture often recovers abundant cytosolic proteins. There is no evidence that CCT1 has a sequence-specific or functional RNA-binding activity.

GO:0005524 ATP binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: InterPro-based annotation of ATP binding.
Reason: Each CCT subunit has the conserved group II chaperonin equatorial nucleotide-binding site. CCT1 is one of the higher-affinity ATP-binding subunits of TRiC: it crosslinks to ATP at intermediate nucleotide concentrations, and ATP binding to the high-affinity subunits is required for viability.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:23041314
We conclude that a gradient of affinities governs ATP binding to TRiC subunits: CCT5 and CCT4 have the highest affinities and thus are occupied at the lowest ATP concentrations, followed by CCT1 and CCT2.
PMID:23041314
Whereas ATP binding to these high-affinity subunits is required for viability, ATP binding to the four low-affinity subunits is dispensable for TRiC activity.

UNDECIDED
Summary: TCP1 was annotated to microtubule (IDA) from a study of PEX14 complexes and peroxisome motility.
Reason: The cached abstract describes PEX14-tubulin binding and does not mention TCP1. The basis for a TCP1-microtubule localization cannot be checked here, possibly co-purification of CCT with its tubulin client. A stable association of CCT1 with polymerized microtubules is not established in the literature reviewed.

Summary: Depletion of TRiC subunits abolishes TCAB1 folding and accumulation.
Reason: This is accepted. The paper shows that TRiC folds TCAB1 and that DC-associated TCAB1 mutants are impaired in TRiC folding.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: A curator statement that CCT takes part in tubulin complex assembly, based on cell-cycle changes in CCT subunit content and tubulin binding.
Reason: CCT folds alpha- and beta-tubulin monomers into assembly-competent forms, and tubulin-specific cofactors then assemble the heterodimer. CCT supplies the folded monomers rather than performing heterodimer assembly, so this is a downstream contribution and is kept as non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:1630491
We conclude that TCP1 functions as a cytosolic chaperone in the biogenesis of tubulin.

Reason: CCT1 retains the canonical nucleotide-binding and hydrolysis site and is among the higher-affinity ATP-binding TRiC subunits. ATP hydrolysis drives the folding cycle.
Supporting Evidence:

We conclude that a gradient of affinities governs ATP binding to TRiC subunits: CCT5 and CCT4 have the highest affinities and thus are occupied at the lowest ATP concentrations, followed by CCT1 and CCT2.

GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Automated (ARBA) annotation of positive regulation of telomere maintenance via telomerase.
Reason: The telomerase link is indirect but experimentally supported in human cells. TRiC folds TCAB1, which is needed for telomerase trafficking and telomere elongation. This is kept as a non-core, client-specific consequence, consistent with the IMP row.
Supporting Evidence:

Core Functions

As the alpha subunit of the CCT/TRiC hetero-oligomer, CCT1 binds and hydrolyzes ATP through its equatorial domain and contributes to the ATP-dependent folding of actin, tubulin, G-beta, TCAB1 and other cytosolic clients inside the closed chamber. Folding is a property of the assembled complex, to which CCT1 contributes.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which clients depend specifically on CCT1's apical domain, and does the M-phase loss of CCT1 from the complex regulate folding capacity physiologically?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use crosslinking mass spectrometry and cryo-EM of human TRiC-client complexes (for example TCAB1 or tubulin) to map contacts with CCT1, then test apical-domain point mutants of CCT1 for client-specific folding defects in human cells.
