GO:0051082 unfolded protein binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MODIFY
Summary: GO:0051082 is formally obsolete; Cct2 contributes to the CCT/TRiC complex's ATP-dependent protein-folding chaperone activity.
Reason: GO:0051082 "unfolded protein binding" is obsolete with GO:0044183 protein folding chaperone and GO:0140309 unfolded protein holdase activity as consider terms. The current PTHR11353 PAINT snapshot no longer carries GO:0051082 at this node. For Cct2, the evidence supports the more specific GO:0140662 ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity of the CCT/TRiC complex; because Cct2 is one subunit of that complex, any final GOA replacement with GO:0140662 should use the contributes_to qualifier.

Summary: GO:0051082 is formally obsolete; the CCT/TRiC complex-level replacement is ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity.
Reason: GO:0051082 "unfolded protein binding" is obsolete with GO:0044183 protein folding chaperone and GO:0140309 unfolded protein holdase activity as consider terms. The current automatic InterPro/UniProt rows no longer emit GO:0051082 for Cct2.

Summary: protein binding reviewed for CCT2: REMOVE.

REMOVE
Summary: protein binding reviewed for CCT2: REMOVE.
Reason: The chaperone-interaction atlas supports CCT/TRiC physical associations, but GO:0005515 is an uninformative molecular-function placeholder and the row does not establish a narrower binding term beyond Cct2's accepted chaperonin-complex and ATP-dependent folding activities.

REMOVE
Summary: protein binding reviewed for CCT2: REMOVE.
Reason: The 2023 interactome recovers CCT subunits and interactors by correlation even though the complex resists direct tagging, but this supports CCT/TRiC membership and client association rather than a useful standalone GO:0005515 molecular-function annotation.

MODIFY
Summary: GO:0051082 is formally obsolete; the CCT3-tagged yeast complex supports CCT/TRiC foldase function.
Reason: GO:0051082 "unfolded protein binding" is obsolete with GO:0044183 protein folding chaperone and GO:0140309 unfolded protein holdase activity as consider terms. The purified-CCT actin-folding evidence supports the GO:0140662 ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity of the CCT/TRiC complex more specifically than GO:0051082; because Cct2 is one subunit of that complex, any final GOA replacement with GO:0140662 should use the contributes_to qualifier.

ACCEPT
Summary: The current InterPro row correctly captures Cct2 ATP binding through the conserved CCT/TRiC chaperonin ATPase domain.
Reason: Cct2 is a group II chaperonin subunit with an equatorial ATP-binding site; ATP binding is a direct subunit activity coupled to CCT/TRiC conformational cycling.

ACCEPT
Summary: Dekker et al. structurally resolved yeast CCT as a hetero-oligomeric double-ring chaperonin, directly supporting Cct2 as part of the CCT/TRiC complex.
Reason: The yeast CCT crystal structure establishes the subunit organization of the chaperonin-containing T-complex; the ComplexPortal IPI row is therefore a direct experimental complex-membership annotation.

PMID:21701561
We have solved the crystal structure of yeast CCT in complex with actin at 3.8 Γ… resolution, revealing the subunit organisation

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which Cct2-specific ATPase and apical-domain features determine actin-side substrate engagement in the asymmetric CCT/TRiC cycle?

Q: How much of the reported nuclear TRiC/CCT function requires Cct2-specific surfaces versus intact holo-complex abundance?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Introduce endogenous CCT2 ATP-site and apical-domain mutants and assay holo-complex assembly, ATPase cycling, actin/tubulin folding, cytoskeletal organization, and nuclear TRiC localization/function.

Hypothesis: Cct2 ATP-site and apical-domain residues make separable contributions to chaperonin allostery and client recognition.
