The essential molecular chaperone CCT/TRiC, found in the cytosol of all eukaryotes, has long been established as the molecular chaperone required for folding the abundant cytoskeletal components actin and tubulin. Advances in single molecule imaging, cryoelectron microscopy and the availability of extensive omics data contribute to revealing the functional scope of this multi-subunit assembly. This review focusses on how the regulation of CCT assembly and degradation of subunits contributes to the complex interplay between CCT oligomer and monomeric subunit functions and the implications of this for cancer cell biology and during impaired proteostasis.
