GroEL mediates protein folding with a two successive timer mechanism.
GroEL encapsulates nonnative substrate proteins in a central cavity capped by GroES, providing a safe folding cage. Conventional models assume that a single timer lasting approximately 8 s governs the ATP hydrolysis-driven GroEL chaperonin cycle. We examine single molecule imaging of GFP folding within the cavity, binding release dynamics of GroEL-GroES, ensemble measurements of GroEL/substrate...
متن کاملGroEL-GroES-mediated protein folding.
The chaperonin-mediated folding reaction is an essential ATP-dependent reaction that provides kinetic assistance to the process of protein folding to the native state in a variety of cellular compartments. This reaction, carried out by a megadalton-sized double ring “machine,” remains a fascination because it exhibits a multitude of interesting features, for example, allostery, with both positi...
متن کاملProtein unfolding and folding by GroEL-GroES
Background: Chaperonins like the GroEL-GroES complex facilitate protein folding in the cell. Results: Substrate proteins are captured by the open, trans ring of the GroEL-ATP-GroES complex and are partially unfolded. Conclusion: Maximally efficient folding requires repeated cycles of substrate protein unfolding by the GroEL-GroES complex. Significance: Establishing how substrate proteins are pr...
متن کاملStructure and function in GroEL-mediated protein folding.
Recent structural and biochemical investigations have come together to allow a better understanding of the mechanism of chaperonin (GroEL, Hsp60)-mediated protein folding, the final step in the accurate expression of genetic information. Major, asymmetric conformational changes in the GroEL double toroid accompany binding of ATP and the cochaperonin GroES. When a nonnative polypeptide, bound to...
متن کاملGroEL: More than Just a Folding Cage
The chaperonin GroEL has been thought of as an important but passive player in protein folding, providing an encapsulated environment that allows folding to proceed unimpaired by aggregation. In this issue, Tang et al. (2006) redesign the GroEL central cavity and show that the chaperonin cage can alter the rate of folding and, for some proteins, could even alter the folding mechanism.
