Microtubules, the primary component of the cytoskeletal network, are highly dynamic structures composed of α/β Tubulin heterodimers. Biosynthesis of functional microtubules involve the participation of several chaperones, termed tubulin folding cofactors A (TBCA), D (TBCD), E (TBCE) and C (TBCC), that act on folding intermediates downstream of the cytosolic chaperonin, alternatively named TCP. TBCC (Tubulin-specific chaperone C), also known as β Tubulin-folding cofactor C or CFC, is a 346 amino acid protein belonging to the TBCD family. Interaction with TBCC causes the release of tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state. TBCC shares significant homology with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa 2 gene RP2, in which mutations cause the progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells.
