enlarged hydrophilic enclosure that permits enclosed protein folding and release [PMID:9285585, PMID:7901770]. The HSP60–HSP10 complex is the most abundant mitochondrial chaperonin, engaging approximately half of all annotated matrix proteins—including respiratory chain subunits and SOD2—and its assembly is regulated by SIRT4-mediated deacetylation of HSP60 [PMID:32060690, PMID:38329114]. Beyond canonical folding, HSP10 recruits mitochondrial Hsp70 to promote biogenesis of Hsp60 oligomers, participates in pro-caspase-3 activation with HSP60 upon mitochondrial release, and protects against oxidative protein damage in skeletal muscle [PMID:25792736, PMID:10205158, PMID:20410481].

May also prevent misfolding and promote the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions in the mitochondrial matrix (PubMed:11422376, PubMed:1346131, PubMed:7912672). The functional units of these chaperonins consist of heptameric rings of the large subunit Hsp60, which function as a back-to-back double ring. In a cyclic reaction, Hsp60 ring complexes bind one unfolded substrate protein per ring, followed by the binding of ATP and association with 2 heptameric rings of the co-chaperonin Hsp10. This leads to sequestration of the substrate protein in the inner cavity of Hsp60 where, for a certain period of time, it can fold undisturbed by other cell components. Synchronous hydrolysis of ATP in all Hsp60 subunits results in the dissociation of the chaperonin rings and the release of ADP and the folded substrate protein
