GroEL—A Versatile Chaperone for Engineering and a Plethora of Applications
Chaperones play a vital role in the life of cells by facilitating the correct folding of other proteins and maintaining them in a functional state, being themselves, as a rule, more stable than the rest of cell proteins.

The Escherichia coli chaperonin GroEL/ES (GroE) is one of the most extensively studied molecular chaperones. So far, ~80 proteins in E. coli are identified as GroE substrates that obligately require GroE for folding in vivo. In GroE-depleted cells, these

Inhibition of chaperonin ATPase activity by various co-chaperonins. [PDF]
Steady-state ATPase activity was measured for each chaperonin. The T.O.N values (1/min) were 3.27±0.32, 0.83±0.14, 0.91±0.1 and 0.79±0.08 for GroEL, mHsp60, E321K and R264K/E358K, respectively. The percentage of ATPase inhibition by each co-chaperonin is

Rubisco Assembly in the Chloroplast
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the Calvin-Benson cycle, which transforms atmospheric carbon into a biologically useful carbon source.

Chaperonin GroEL Reassembly: An Effect of Protein Ligands and Solvent Composition
Chaperonin GroEL is a complex oligomeric heat shock protein (Hsp60) assisting the correct folding and assembly of other proteins in the cell. An intriguing question is how GroEL folds itself.

Background: The role of Lactobacillus casei on human health is well documented. However, little is known about their protein effects on food digestion. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of three proteins of L. casei on

Chaperonin filaments: The archael cytoskeleton [PDF]
Chaperonins are multi-subunit double-ring complexed composed of 60-kDa proteins that are believed to mediate protein folding in vivo. The chaperonins in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae are composed of the organism`s two most abundant ...

ATP dependent rotational motion of group II chaperonin observed by X-ray single molecule tracking. [PDF]
Group II chaperonins play important roles in protein homeostasis in the eukaryotic cytosol and in Archaea. These proteins assist in the folding of nascent polypeptides and also refold unfolded proteins in an ATP-dependent manner.

The genes encoding mammalian chaperonin 60 and chaperonin 10 are linked head-to-head and share a bidirectional promoter [PDF]
Chaperonins are a class of stress-inducible molecular chaperones involved in protein folding. We report the cloning, sequencing and characterisation of the rat mitochondrial chaperonin 60 and chaperonin 10 genes.
