additional information | cardiac-specific knockdown of chaperonin CCT in Drosophila melanogaster resulting in disorganization of cardiac actin- and myosin-containing myofibrils and severe physiological dysfunction, including restricted heart diameters, elevated cardiac dysrhythmia and compromised cardiac performance. Knockdown of Cct3, Cct4, Cct5, Cct6 or Cct7 with the TinCDELTA4 driver resulted in cardiac morphological defects in one or more non-beating regions of the heart and completely non-beating hearts. These defects are not observed with TinC/+. Moreover, defects are even more severe with knockdown of Cct3, Cct4, Cct5, Cct6 or Cct7 with the Hand-Gal4 driver, whereas Hand/+ hearts do not show these defects.In addition to cardiac defects, cardiac-specific knockdown of Cct3, Cct4, Cct5, Cct6 or Cct7 has a drastic impact on the lifespan of the flies (female and male combined) compared to TinCDELTA4/+ and Hand/+ flies. Extremely severe cardiac dysfunction observed with Hand/+ upon cardiac-specific knockdown of Cct3, Cct4, Cct5, Cct6 or Cct7, correlate with further shortening of lifespan compared to TinCDELTA4/+.

malfunction | cardiac-specific knockdown of CCT chaperonin significantly shortens lifespans. Additionally, disruption of circadian rhythm yields further deterioration of cardiac function of hypomorphic CCT mutants. CCT knockdown leads to disorganization of cardiac actin- and myosin-containing myofibrils and severe physiological dysfunction, including restricted heart diameters, elevated cardiac dysrhythmia and compromised cardiac performance | Drosophila melanogaster |
physiological function | eukaryotic cytoplasmic chaperonins are key elements responsible for this proper folding of proteins, including that of cytoskeletal components. Protein folding is mediated in the eukaryotic cytosol by the TCP-1 ring large multi-subunit complex (TRiC), also called CCT. TRiC/CCT chaperonins are essential for maintaining myofibril organization, cardiac physiological rhythm, and lifespan. TRiC/CCT chaperonins are essential for actin and myosin containing myofibril integrity. Both the orchestration of protein folding and circadian rhythms mediated by CCT chaperonin are critical for maintaining heart contractility | Drosophila melanogaster |
