Article Title: | Binding of defined regions of a polypeptide to GroEL and its implications for chaperonin- mediated protein folding |
Abstract: | Unfolded rhodanese in a complex with the chaperonin GroEL was subjected to limited proteolysis. Sequence analysis indentified a GroEL-bound fragment of -11,000 Mr and a well defined fragment of -7,000 Mr from the two homologous domains of rhodanese. The shorter segment contains one hydrophobic and one amphiphilic α-helix mapping to the domain interface while the other fragment contains the homologous regions and an additional hydrophobic helix. Our results suggest a mechanism for the GroEL-mediated folding of rhodanese in which the domain-forming regions of the polypeptide are kept apart and are then released, perhaps sequentially, resulting in correct folding. © 1995 Nature Publishing Group. |
