The chaperonin folding machine
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2002Chaperonins are versatile molecular machines that assist the folding of a wide range of substrate proteins. They harness an ATPase cycle to control access of non-native proteins to hydrophobic binding sites. ATP binding promotes large conformational changes that partially bury the hydrophobic sites and initiate the binding of a co-chaperonin, creating ...

Chaperonin-Mediated Protein Folding
Annual Review of Biophysics and Biomolecular Structure, 2001▪ Abstract  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.

Allosteric regulation of chaperonins
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2005Chaperonins are molecular machines that facilitate protein folding by undergoing energy (ATP)-dependent movements that are coordinated in time and space by complex allosteric regulation. Recently, progress has been made in describing the various functional (allosteric) states of these machines, the pathways by which they interconvert, and the coupling ...

Assembly of Chaperonin Complexes
Molecular Biotechnology, 2001Chaperonins are a subclass of molecular chaperones that assist both the folding of newly synthesized proteins and the maintenance of proteins in a folded state during periods of stress. The best studied members of this family are the type I chaperonins, occurring in bacteria and evolutionarily derived organelles.

Inside the chaperonin toolbox: theoretical and computational models for chaperonin mechanism
Physical Biology, 2009Despite their immense importance to cellular function, the precise mechanism by which chaperonins aid in the folding of other proteins remains unknown. Experimental evidence seems to imply that there is some diversity in how chaperonins interact with their substrates and this has led to a number of different models for chaperonin mechanism ...

On the oligomeric state of chloroplast chaperonin 10 and chaperonin 20
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2003Type I chaperonins are fundamental protein folding machineries that function in eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Eubacteria and mitochondria contain chaperonin systems comprised of homo-oligomeric chaperonin 60 tetradecamers and co-chaperonin 10 heptamers.

Protein folding and chaperonins
Plant Molecular Biology, 1992The folding of polypeptide chains in cells, following either translation or translocation through membranes, must take place under conditions of extremely high protein concentrations. In addition, folding into a correct structure must occur in the presence of other rapidly folding species, and at temperatures known to destabilize aggregation-prone ...
