Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993 GroE, a chaperonin protein from Escherichia coli, facilitates the folding of numerous proteins by binding to protein-folding intermediates and suppressing aggregation (Gething, M., and Sambrook, J. (1992) Nature 355, 33-45). The specific mechanism of GroE-facilitated folding involves numerous interactions between GroEL, GroES, the refolding protein ...

HSP10 as a Chaperone for Neurodegenerative Amyloid Fibrils
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are associated with accumulated misfolded proteins (MPs). MPs oligomerize and form multiple forms of amyloid fibril polymorphs that dictate fibril propagation and cellular dysfunction.

Novel cryo-EM structure of an ADP-bound GroEL–GroES complex
Scientific Reports, 2021 The GroEL–GroES chaperonin complex is a bacterial protein folding system, functioning in an ATP-dependent manner. Upon ATP binding and hydrolysis, it undergoes multiple stages linked to substrate protein binding, folding and release.

GroE is vital for cell-wall synthesis [PDF]
Nature, 1998 Chaperone proteins help other proteins to fold. GroEL, the Escherichia coli form of the ubiquitous Cpn60 chaperonins, has a multimeric barrel-shaped structure with a central cavity, within which almost any protein can fold in vitro1. But what does GroE (GroEL plus its co-chaperone GroES) fold in the cell? Why is it needed for cell survival2?

Chaperonin GroEL Reassembly: An Effect of Protein Ligands and Solvent Composition
Biomolecules, 2014 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.

Hegemonic and Subordinated Masculinities
Nordic Journal of African Studies, 2009 The article explores theoretical implications of sexual and violent practices among disenfranchised young men in Southern Africa. Ethnographic findings from Maputo, Mozambique indicate that massive unemployment caused by neo-liberal reforms have led to ...
