A novel cochaperonin that modulates the ATPase activity of cytoplasmic chaperonin
The folding of alpha- and beta-tubulin requires three proteins: the heteromeric TCP-1-containing cytoplasmic chaperonin and two additional protein cofactors (A and B). We show that these cofactors participate in the folding process and do not merely trigger release, since in the presence of Mg-ATP alone, alpha- and beta-tubulin target proteins are discharged from cytoplasmic chaperonin in a non...
متن کاملGroEL dependency affects codon usage—support for a critical role of misfolding in gene evolution
It has recently been suggested that the use of optimal codons limits mistranslation-induced protein misfolding, yet evidence for this remains largely circumstantial. In contrast, molecular chaperones have long been recognized to play crucial roles in misfolding prevention and remedy. We propose that putative error limitation in cis can be elucidated by examining the interaction between codon us...
متن کاملType D retrovirus Gag polyprotein interacts with the cytosolic chaperonin TRiC.
The carboxy terminus-encoding portion of the gag gene of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV), the prototype immunosuppressive primate type D retrovirus, encodes a 36-amino-acid, proline-rich protein domain that, in the mature virion, becomes the p4 capsid protein. The p4 domain has no known role in M-PMV replication. We found that two mutants with premature termination codons that remove half or ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Chaperonin Buffering on Protein Evolution
Molecular chaperones are highly conserved and ubiquitous proteins that help other proteins in the cell to fold. Pioneering work by Rutherford and Lindquist suggested that the chaperone Hsp90 could buffer (i.e., suppress) phenotypic variation in its client proteins and that alternate periods of buffering and expression of these variants might be important in adaptive evolution. More recently, To...
متن کاملA mobile loop order-disorder transition modulates the speed of chaperonin cycling.
Molecular machines order and disorder polypeptides as they form and dissolve large intermolecular interfaces, but the biological significance of coupled ordering and binding has been established in few, if any, macromolecular systems. The ordering and binding of GroES co-chaperonin mobile loops accompany an ATP-dependent conformational change in the GroEL chaperonin that promotes client protein...
