Friends in need: How chaperonins recognize and remodel proteins that require folding assistance
Chaperonins are biological nanomachines that help newly translated proteins to fold by rescuing them from kinetically trapped misfolded states. Protein folding assistance by the chaperonin machinery is obligatory in vivo for a subset of proteins in the ...

Streptomyces lividans groES, groEL1 and groEL2 genes [PDF]
The Streptomyces lividans groES/ELI operon and groEL2 gene were cloned and their respective DNA sequences determined. The sequenced DNA comprised the genes and their respective regulatory regions in both cases. Transcription of both groES/EL1 and groEL2 seemed to be subjected to temporal control at 30 °C.

ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

Proteome-Wide Analyis of Chaperonin-Dependent Protein Folding in Escherichia coli [PDF]
In Escherichia coli, the cylindrical chaperonin GroEL and its cofactor GroES promote the folding of a fraction of newly synthesized polypeptide chains by acting as an Anfinsen cage.

Background Lipoxygenase (EC. 1.13.11.12, LOX) can catalyze the addition of oxygen into polyunsaturated fatty acids to produce hydroperoxides, which are widely used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Limits of Protein Folding Inside GroE Complexes [PDF]
The GroE chaperones of Escherichia coli promote the folding of other proteins under conditions where no spontaneous folding occurs. One requirement for this reaction is the trapping of the nonnative protein inside the chaperone complex. Encapsulation may be important to prevent unfavorable intermolecular interactions during folding.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.
