Deskripsi

The CCT complex, a key player in the chaperone machinery, has been implicated in Huntington’s disease. Pavelet al. show that CCT2/5/7 also play an essential role in autophagosome degradation, and that the aggregation of proteins upon CCT2/5/7 depletion is primarily a consequence of impaired autophagy.
