Filamentous morphology in GroE-depleted Escherichia coli induced by impaired folding of FtsE.
The chaperonin GroE (GroEL and the cochaperonin GroES) is the only chaperone system that is essential for the viability of Escherichia coli. It is known that GroE-depleted cells exhibit a filamentous morphology, suggesting that GroE is required for the folding of proteins involved in cell division. Although previous studies, including proteome-wide analyses of GroE substrates, have suggested se...
متن کاملMembrane Modifications in Nutritionally Induced Filamentous Escherichia Coli B
Nutritionally induced filamentous cell forms of Escherichia coli B were examined for their morphological and biochemical lesions. The filamentous forms showed no significant alteration in total DNA concentration, RNA synthesis, ability to form beta-galactosidase in response to isopropylthiogalactoside, or insensitivity to actinomycin D as compared to the normal cell form. The filamentous cells ...
متن کاملgroE genes affect SOS repair in Escherichia coli.
Repair of UV-irradiated bacteriophage in Escherichia coli by Weigle reactivation requires functional recA+ and umuD+C+ genes. When the cells were UV irradiated, the groE heat shock gene products, GroES and GroEL, were needed for at least 50% of the Weigle reactivation of the single-stranded DNA phage S13. Because of repression of the umuDC and recA genes, Weigle reactivation is normally blocked...
متن کاملLimits of protein folding inside GroE complexes.
The GroE chaperones of Escherichia coli promote the folding of other proteins under conditions where no spontaneous folding occurs. One requirement for this reaction is the trapping of the nonnative protein inside the chaperone complex. Encapsulation may be important to prevent unfavorable intermolecular interactions during folding. We show here that, especially for oligomeric proteins, the tim...
متن کاملStimulation of groE synthesis in Escherichia coli by bacteriophage lambda infection.
We found that infection of Escherichia cell by lambda results in at least a twofold stimulation in the rate of synthesis of one of the products of groE. To determine what lambda-coded factors were responsible for this stimulation, numerous phage lambda mutants carrying bio substitutions were analyzed for their ability to stimulate groE synthesis. Our results revealed that the main factor(s) whi...
