Abstract
How chaperonins orchestrate the successful folding of even the most elaborate of proteins is a question of central importance. In two recent studies in Cell by Joachimiak et al. and Freund et al., a new class of TRiC substrate is identified, and how the chaperonin exploits its different subunits to extend its substrate repertoire and direct productive folding is revealed.
