|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0006457 protein folding | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: protein folding reviewed for CCT2: ACCEPT. Reason: Retain as the core process carried out by the CCT/TRiC chaperonin containing Cct2. Supporting Evidence: file:yeast/CCT2/CCT2-deep-research-falcon.md CCT/TRiC is the eukaryotic **Group II cytosolic chaperonin** and forms an **ATP-dependent protein-folding machine** |
| GO:0005832 chaperonin-containing T-complex | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: chaperonin-containing T-complex reviewed for CCT2: ACCEPT.

| 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 Reason: GO:0051082 "unfolded protein binding" is obsolete with GO:0044183 protein folding chaperone and GO:0140309 unfolded protein holdase activity as consider terms.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. Propagation Review Root cause: SOURCE STALE OR MISSING Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN004253040 Β· PAINT chaperonin node SOURCE STALE OR MISSING The current PTHR11353 PAINT record retains this node for conserved CCT/TRiC protein-folding biology, but it no longer carries obsolete GO:0051082 as a molecular-function IBD.

Reason: GO:0051082 "unfolded protein binding" is obsolete with GO:0044183 protein folding chaperone and GO:0140309 unfolded protein holdase activity as consider terms.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. The supported complex-level molecular function is 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. Proposed replacements: ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone Supporting Evidence: file:yeast/CCT2/CCT2-deep-research-falcon.md CCT/TRiC operates through an **ATP-driven conformational cycle** that couples ATP binding/hydrolysis to **lid closure** and substrate encapsulation |
| GO:0140662 ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | ACCEPT | Summary: ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone is the best available molecular-function term for CCT/TRiC.

Reason: The interaction is compatible with Cct2's participation in the CCT/TRiC complex, but generic protein binding does not capture a specific molecular function. No more specific binding activity is supported by this high-throughput complex-mapping row. Supporting Evidence: file:yeast/CCT2/CCT2-deep-research-falcon.md Cct2p is robustly detected in purified CCT complexes; the same purifications identify known substrates/partners, including **actin** and **beta-tubulin** |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:19536198 An atlas of chaperone-protein interactions in Saccharomyces ... | 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. Supporting Evidence: file:yeast/CCT2/CCT2-deep-research-falcon.md Cct2p is robustly detected in purified CCT complexes; the same purifications identify known substrates/partners, including **actin** and **beta-tubulin** |

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.

Reason: Physical interaction with the co-chaperone PLP2 is biologically real, but generic protein binding is less informative than the accepted ATP-dependent protein-folding chaperone activity of the CCT/TRiC complex and the evidence does not define a specific replacement binding activity. Supporting Evidence: file:yeast/CCT2/CCT2-deep-research-falcon.md Cct2p is robustly detected in purified CCT complexes; the same purifications identify known substrates/partners, including **actin** and **beta-tubulin** |

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. Proposed replacements: ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone Supporting Evidence: file:yeast/CCT2/CCT2-deep-research-falcon.md CCT/TRiC operates through an **ATP-driven conformational cycle** that couples ATP binding/hydrolysis to **lid closure** and substrate encapsulation |
| GO:0005524 ATP binding | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | 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. Supporting Evidence: file:yeast/CCT2/CCT2-deep-research-falcon.md - **Equatorial domain** (contains the ATP-binding site) |

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

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