The interactome of eukaryotic chaperonin TRiC/CCT is identified through a genome-wide approach, revealing an enrichment in large, multidomain proteins, or components of multimeric complexes, rich in hydrophobic sequences and with high β-sheet propensity. Thus, TRiC substrates are slow-folding proteins with complex topology, which are likely to be more prone to aggregation.
