Prefoldin (PFD) interacts with group II chaperonin (CPN) for substrate transfer.
The flexible C-terminal region of CPN protrudes into the cavity of CPN.
Truncation of the CPN C-terminal region decreases affinity with PFD.
Truncation also decreases substrate transfer from PFD and folding by CPN.
The C-terminal region of CPN is a newly found interaction site with PFD.
