Protein folding: Chaperones get Hip
In the cell, nascent and completed polypeptides may misfold and aggregate. A class of proteins called molecular chaperones has evolved to facilitate the production of native, functional forms of proteins. These chaperones also aid in the translocation of proteins across biological membranes. The ubiquitous heat-shock protein (Hsp) 70 class of chaperones has been the subject of intensive study o...
متن کاملFunctional Rescue of Trafficking-Impaired ABCB4 Mutants by Chemical Chaperones
Multidrug resistance protein 3 (MDR3, ABCB4) is a hepatocellular membrane protein that mediates biliary secretion of phosphatidylcholine. Null mutations in ABCB4 gene give rise to severe early-onset cholestatic liver disease. We have previously shown that the disease-associated mutations p.G68R, p.G228R, p.D459H, and p.A934T resulted in retention of ABCB4 in the endoplasmic reticulum, thus fail...
متن کاملCatalysis of protein folding by chaperones in pathogenic bacteria.
Molecular chaperones are thought to inhibit off-pathway interactions such as aggregation from occurring without influencing the on-pathway formation of native structure. Here, we present a mechanism whereby the family of PapD-like chaperones, which are involved in the formation of adhesive pili in pathogenic bacteria, function by suppressing aggregation while simultaneously catalyzing the foldi...
متن کاملFolding Optimization In Vivo Uncovers New Chaperones.
By employing a genetic selection that forces the cell to fold an unstable, aggregation-prone test protein in order to survive, we have generated bacterial strains with enhanced periplasmic folding capacity. These strains enhance the soluble steady-state level of the test protein. Most of the bacterial variants we isolated were found to overexpress one or more periplasmic proteins including OsmY...
متن کاملRNA chaperones and the RNA folding problem.
Functional and structural inter-relationships of RNA and proteins in the execution and control of biological processes such as RNA processing, RNA splicing, and translation are increasingly apparent. In this minireview, I present an RNA chaperone hypothesis, which fosters the view that constraints imposed by fundamental problems in the folding of RNA have profoundly influenced the nature of RNA...
