Chemical disruption of the hTRiC 16-mer enables subsequent dimerization. (a) The monomer signal intensity of the same hTRiC sample increases over 100-fold upon addition of 25% DMSO or methanol (MeOH) (NL = Normalized Level). This supports the original presence of predominantly intact 16-mers and their thorough dissociation into monomers. (b) Native mass spectra of intact and solution-dissociated hTRiC. Monomer, dimer, and 16-mer regions of signal are observed. (c) Detail view of the dimer regions in b. Peaks are sufficiently resolved to assign dimers unambiguously; three charge states for the five most abundant assigned dimers are annotated in each mass spectrum. (d) Relative abundances of all assigned CCT dimers after DMSO or methanol dissociation. Squares with a bold outline represent interfaces that exist in correctly assembled TRiC. The underlying data and quantification of each subunit’s contribution to the total dimer intensity is provided in Supplementary Data 4. (e) Schematic of TRiC assembly and dissociation in vitro and in vivo, where CCT5 is posited to play a key role in processes involving dimers.
