The chaperonin CCT8 controls proteostasis essential for T cell maturation, selection, and function

Oftedal et al. generate mice lacking the chaperonin subunit CCT8 in T cells. They find that loss of CCT8 leads to reduced formation of nuclear actin filaments, changes in proteostasis, defective Th2 cell polarization and T cell metabolism and a failed antigenic response to intestinal helminths.
