Chaperonin-mediated protein folding.
Molecular chaperones are required to assist folding of a subset of proteins in Escherichia coli. We describe a conceptual framework for understanding how the GroEL-GroES system assists misfolded proteins to reach their native states. The architecture of GroEL consists of double toroids stacked back-to-back. However, most of the fundamentals of the GroEL action can be described in terms of the s...
متن کاملChaperonin-mediated protein folding.
We have been studying chaperonins these past twenty years through an initial discovery of an action in protein folding, analysis of structure, and elucidation of mechanism. Some of the highlights of these studies were presented recently upon sharing the honor of the 2013 Herbert Tabor Award with my early collaborator, Ulrich Hartl, at the annual meeting of the American Society for Biochemistry ...
متن کاملA simple model of chaperonin-mediated protein folding.
Chaperonins are oligomeric proteins that help other proteins fold. They act, according to the "Anfinsen cage" or "box of infinite dilution" model, to provide private space, protected from aggregation, where a protein can fold. Recent evidence indicates, however, that proteins are often ejected from the GroEL chaperonin in nonnative conformations, and repeated cycles of binding and ejection are ...
متن کاملChaperonin-mediated protein folding: fate of substrate polypeptide.
Chaperonins are megadalton ring assemblies that mediate essential ATP-dependent assistance of protein folding to the native state in a variety of cellular compartments, including the mitochondrial matrix, the eukaryotic cytosol, and the bacterial cytoplasm. Structural studies of the bacterial chaperonin, GroEL, both alone and in complex with its co-chaperonin, GroES, have resolved the states of...
متن کاملRattling the cage: computational models of chaperonin-mediated protein folding.
Chaperonins are known to maintain the stability of the proteome by facilitating the productive folding of numerous misfolded or aggregation-prone proteins and are thus essential for cell viability. Despite their established importance, the mechanism by which chaperonins facilitate protein folding remains unknown. Computer simulation techniques are now being employed to complement experimental o...
