The chaperonin GroEL is a homotetradecamer in which the subunits (M(r) 57 000) are joined through noncovalent forces. This study reports on the unfolding and disassembly of GroEL in guanidine hydrochloride and urea. Kinetic and equilibrium measurements were made using amide hydrogen exchange/mass spectrometry, light scattering, and size-exclusion chromatography. Hydrogen exchange in GroEL destabilized in 1.8 M GdHCl (the unfolding midpoint is 1.2 M GdHCl) shows that the apical and intermediate domains unfold 3.1 times faster than the equatorial domain. Light scattering measurements made under the same conditions show that disassembly of the native GroEL tetradecamer occurs at the same rate as unfolding of the equatorial domain. This study of the kinetics of GroEL unfolding and disassembly demonstrates the existence of an intermediate that was identified as a tetradecamer with the apical and intermediate domains unfolded. Although this intermediate was easily detected in dynamic unfolding measurements, its population in equilibrium measurements at the midpoint for GroEL unfolding was too small to be detected. This study of GroEL unfolding and disassembly points to features that may be important in the folding and assembly of the GroEL macroassembly. 相似文献

Type 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. In contrast, the chloroplast chaperonins are heterooligomeric tetradecamers that are composed of two subunit types, alpha and beta. Additionally, chloroplasts contain two structurally distinct co-chaperonins. One, ch-cpn10, is probably similar to the mitochondrial and bacterial co-chaperonins, and is composed of 10 kDa subunits. The other, termed ch-cpn20 is composed of two cpn10-like domains that are held together by a short linker. While the oligomeric structure of ch-cpn10 remains to be elucidated, it was previously suggested that ch-cpn20 forms tetramers in solution, and that this is the functional oligomer. In the present study, we investigated the properties of purified ch-cpn10 and ch-cpn20. Using bifunctional cross-linking reagents, gel filtration chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation, we show that ch-cpn10 is a heptamer in solution. In contrast, ch-cpn20 forms multiple oligomers that are in dynamic equilibrium with each other and cover a broad spectrum of molecular weights in a concentration-dependent manner. However, upon association with GroEL, only one type of co-chaperonin-GroEL complex is formed. 相似文献

The chloroplast chaperonin system of plants and green algae is a curiosity as both the chaperonin cage and its lid are encoded by multiple genes, in contrast to the single genes encoding the two components of the bacterial and mitochondrial systems. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Cr), three genes encode chaperonin cofactors, with cpn10 encoding a single ~10-kDa domain and cpn20 and cpn23 encoding tandem cpn10 domains. Here, we characterized the functional interaction of these proteins with the Escherichia coli chaperonin, GroEL, which normally cooperates with GroES, a heptamer of ~10-kDa subunits. The C. reinhardtii cofactor proteins alone were all unable to assist GroEL-mediated refolding of bacterial ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase but gained this ability when CrCpn20 and/or CrCpn23 was combined with CrCpn10. Native mass spectrometry indicated the formation of hetero-oligomeric species, consisting of seven ~10-kDa domains. The cofactor "heptamers" interacted with GroEL and encapsulated substrate protein in a nucleotide-dependent manner. Different hetero-oligomer arrangements, generated by constructing cofactor concatamers, indicated a preferential heptamer configuration for the functional CrCpn10-CrCpn23 complex. Formation of heptamer Cpn10/Cpn20 hetero-oligomers was also observed with the Arabidopsis thaliana (At) cofactors, which functioned with the chloroplast chaperonin, AtCpn60α(7)β(7). It appears that hetero-oligomer formation occurs more generally for chloroplast chaperonin cofactors, perhaps adapting the chaperonin system for the folding of specific client proteins. 相似文献

GroEL can solubilize membrane proteins by binding them in its hydrophobic cavity when detergent is removed by dialysis. The best-studied example is bacteriorhodopsin, which can bind in the GroEL chaperonin at two molecules per tetradecamer. Applying this approach to the holin and antiholin proteins of phage lambda, we find that both proteins are solubilized by GroEL, in an ATP-sensitive mode, but to vastly different extents. The antiholin product, S107, saturates the chaperonin at six molecules per tetradecameric complex, whereas the holin, S105, which is missing the two N-terminal residues of S107, forms a hyper-solubilization complex with up to 350 holin molecules per GroEL, or approximately 4 MDa of protein per 0.8 MDa tetradecamer. Gel filtration chromatography and immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed the existence of complexes of the predicted masses for both S105 and S107 solubilization. For S105, negatively stained electron microscopic images show structures consistent with protein shells of the holin assembled around the chaperonin tetradecamer. Importantly, S105 can be delivered rapidly and efficiently to artificial liposomes from these complexes. In these delivery experiments, the holin exhibits efficient membrane-permeabilizing activity. The S107 antiholin can block formation of the hypersolubilization complexes, suggesting that their formation is related to an oligomerization step intrinsic to holin function. 相似文献

A double-heptamer ring chaperonin GroEL binds denatured substrate protein, ATP, and GroES to the same heptamer ring and encapsulates substrate into the central cavity underneath GroES where productive folding occurs. GroES is a disk-shaped heptamer, and each subunit has a GroEL-binding loop. The residues of the GroEL subunit responsible for GroES binding largely overlap those involved in substrate binding, and the mechanism by which GroES can replace the substrate when GroES binds to GroEL/substrate complex remains to be clarified. To address this question, we generated single polypeptide GroES by fusing seven subunits with various combinations of active and GroEL binding-defective subunits. Functional tests of the fused GroES variants indicated that four active GroES subunits were required for efficient formation of the stable GroEL/GroES complex and five subunits were required for the productive GroEL/substrate/GroES complex. An increase in the number of defective GroES subunits resulted in a slowing of encapsulation and folding. These results indicate the presence of an intermediate GroEL/substrate/GroES complex in which the substrate and GroES bind to GroEL by sharing seven common binding sites. 相似文献

The crystal structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis chaperonin 10 (cpn10(Mt)) has been determined to a resolution of 2.8 A. Two dome-shaped cpn10(Mt) heptamers complex through loops at their bases to form a tetradecamer with 72 symmetry and a spherical cage-like structure. The hollow interior enclosed by the tetradecamer is lined with hydrophilic residues and has dimensions of 30 A perpendicular to and 60 A along the sevenfold axis. Tetradecameric cpn10(Mt) has also been observed in solution by dynamic light scattering. Through its base loop sequence cpn10(Mt) is known to be the agent in the bacterium responsible for bone resorption and for the contribution towards its strong T-cell immunogenicity. Superimposition of the cpn10(Mt) sequences 26 to 32 and 66 to 72 and E. coli GroES 25 to 31 associated with bone resorption activity shows them to have similar conformations and structural features, suggesting that there may be a common receptor for the bone resorption sequences. The base loops of cpn10s in general also attach to the corresponding chaperonin 60 (cpn60) to enclose unfolded protein and to facilitate its correct folding in vivo. Electron density corresponding to a partially disordered protein subunit appears encapsulated within the interior dome cavity of each heptamer. This suggests that the binding of substrates to cpn10 is possible in the absence of cpn60. 相似文献

Chaperonins cpn60/cpn10 (GroEL/GroES in Escherichia coli) assist folding of nonnative polypeptides. Folding of the chaperonins themselves is distinct in that it entails assembly of a sevenfold symmetrical structure. We have characterized denaturation and renaturation of the recombinant human chaperonin 10 (cpn10), which forms a heptamer. Denaturation induced by chemical denaturants urea and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) as well as by heat was monitored by tyrosine fluorescence, far-ultraviolet circular dichroism, and cross-linking; all denaturation reactions were reversible. GuHCl-induced denaturation was found to be cpn10 concentration dependent, in accord with a native heptamer to denatured monomer transition. In contrast, urea-induced denaturation was not cpn10 concentration dependent, suggesting that under these conditions cpn10 heptamers denature without dissociation. There were no indications of equilibrium intermediates, such as folded monomers, in either denaturant. The different cpn10 denatured states observed in high [GuHCl] and high [urea] were supported by cross-linking experiments. Thermal denaturation revealed that monomer and heptamer reactions display the same enthalpy change (per monomer), whereas the entropy-increase is significantly larger for the heptamer. A thermodynamic cycle for oligomeric cpn10, combining chemical denaturation with the dissociation constant in absence of denaturant, shows that dissociated monomers are only marginally stable (3 kJ/mol). The thermodynamics for co-chaperonin stability appears conserved; therefore, instability of the monomer could be necessary to specify the native heptameric structure. 相似文献

In the absence of nucleotides or cofactors, the Escherichia coli chaperonin GroEL binds select proteins in non-native conformations, such as denatured glutamine synthetase (GS) monomers, preventing their aggregation and spontaneous renaturation. The nature of the GroEL-GS complexes thus formed, specifically the effect on the conformation of the GroEL tetradecamer, has been examined by electron microscopy. We find that specimens of GroEL-GS are visibly heterogeneous, due to incomplete loading of GroEL with GS. Images contain particles indistinguishable from GroEL alone, and also those with consistent identifiable differences. Side-views of the modified particles reveal additional protein density at one end of the GroEL-GS complex, and end-views display chirality in the heptameric projection not seen in the unliganded GroEL. The coordinate appearance of these two projection differences suggests that binding of GS, as representative of a class of protein substrates, induces or stabilizes a conformation of GroEL that differs from the unliganded chaperonin. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the GroEL-GS complex reveals the location of the bound protein substrate, as well as complex conformational changes in GroEL itself, both cis and trans with respect to the bound GS. The most apparent structural alterations are inward movements of the apical domains of both GroEL heptamers, protrusion of the substrate protein from the cavity of the cis ring, and a narrowing of the unoccupied opening of the trans ring. 相似文献

Identification and characterization of a testis-specific isoform of a chaperonin in a moth, Heliothis virescens 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two relatively abundant proteins having subunit molecular weights of 60,000 and 63,000 (p60 and p63, respectively) have been purified as a 16 to 18S complex from sperm mitochondria of a moth. Heliothis virescens. Although the function of these proteins had heretofore not been established, interest in the p63 polypeptide stemmed from its sperm-specific expression and its striking occurrence as a net charge variant among several insect species surveyed, using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Genomic and cDNA clones corresponding to the p63 protein have now been isolated and their sequencing has revealed extensive amino acid sequence identity with both the Escherichia coli GroEL protein and its eukaryotic homologues, the chaperonins. Immunoblot studies with a Tetrahymena chaperonin antiserum demonstrated that the p60 protein, which is expressed in all cell types, is structurally related to p63 and is itself a chaperonin subunit. While the chaperonin complex from Heliothis sperm shares certain properties with GroEL, including the ability to hydrolyze ATP and organization of its subunits into a seven-member ring, electron microscopic analysis revealed that its higher-order structure differed from GroEL (and other lower eukaryotic chaperonins) in that the native particle comprises one such ring rather than a doublet. It is not yet known whether the two chaperonin isoforms coexpressed in moth sperm assemble separately or give rise to hybrid particles. In either case, the existence of multiple chaperonin subunits in sperm leaves open the possibility that some aspect of mitochondrial biogenesis that is dependent upon the activity of these proteins is qualitatively or quantitatively different in this cell type. 相似文献

Mitochondrial Hsp70 (mtHsp70) mediates essential functions for mitochondrial biogenesis, like import and folding of proteins. In these processes, the chaperone cooperates with cochaperones, the presequence translocase, and other chaperone systems. The chaperonin Hsp60, together with its cofactor Hsp10, catalyzes folding of a subset of mtHsp70 client proteins. Hsp60 forms heptameric ring structures that provide a cavity for protein folding. How the Hsp60 rings are assembled is poorly understood. In a comprehensive interaction study, we found that mtHsp70 associates with Hsp60 and Hsp10. Surprisingly, mtHsp70 interacts with Hsp10 independently of Hsp60. The mtHsp70-Hsp10 complex binds to the unassembled Hsp60 precursor to promote its assembly into mature Hsp60 complexes. We conclude that coupling to Hsp10 recruits mtHsp70 to mediate the biogenesis of the heptameric Hsp60 rings. 相似文献

The groESL locus of a protein-hypersecreting bacterium, Bacillus brevis, was cloned by PCR using primers designed based on the DNA sequence of a B. subtilis homolog. GroEL protein was purified to apparent homogeneity and its ATPase activity was characterized: it hydrolyzed ATP, CTP, and TTP in this order of reaction rate, and its specific activity for ATP was 0.1 micromole/min/mg protein. Purified GroEL forms a tetradecamer. GroEL was estimated to contain 22% alpha-helix, 24% beta-sheet, and 19% turn structures, by CD measurement. GroES protein was also highly purified to examine its chaperonin activity. GroEL protected from thermal inactivation of and showed refolding-promoting activity for malate dehydrogenase, strictly depending on the presence of ATP and GroES. 相似文献

Electron microscopic and crystallographic data have shown that the gene 4 primase/helicase encoded by bacteriophage T7 can form both hexamers and heptamers. After cross-linking with glutaraldehyde to stabilize the oligomeric protein, hexamers and heptamers can be distinguished either by negative stain electron microscopy or electrophoretic analysis using polyacrylamide gels. We find that hexamers predominate in the presence of either dTTP or beta,gamma-methylene dTTP whereas the ratio between hexamers and heptamers is nearly the converse in the presence of dTDP. When formed, heptamers are unable to efficiently bind either single-stranded DNA or double-stranded DNA. We postulate that a switch between heptamer to hexamer may provide a ring-opening mechanism for the single-stranded DNA binding pathway. Accordingly, we observe that in the presence of both nucleoside di- and triphosphates the gene 4 protein exists as a hexamer when bound to single-stranded DNA and as a mixture of heptamer and hexamer when not bound to single-stranded DNA. Furthermore, altering regions of the gene 4 protein postulated to be conformational switches for dTTP-dependent helicase activity leads to modulation of the heptamer to hexamer ratio. 相似文献

Chaperonin 60 is the prototypic molecular chaperone, an essential protein in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, whose sequence conservation provides an excellent basis for phylogenetic analysis. Escherichia coli chaperonin 60 (GroEL), the prototype of this family of proteins, has an established oligomeric‐structure‐based folding mechanism and a defined population of folding partners. However, there is a growing number of examples of chaperonin 60 proteins whose crystal structures and oligomeric composition are at variance with GroEL, suggesting that additional complexities in the protein‐folding function of this protein should be expected. In addition, many organisms have multiple chaperonin 60 proteins, some of which have lost their protein‐folding ability. It is emerging that this highly conserved protein has evolved a bewildering variety of additional biological functions – known as moonlighting functions – both within the cell and in the extracellular milieu. Indeed, in some organisms, it is these moonlighting functions that have been left after the loss of the protein‐folding activity. This highlights the major paradox in the biology of chaperonin 60. This article reviews the relationship between the folding and non‐folding (moonlighting) activities of the chaperonin 60 family and discusses current knowledge on their molecular evolution focusing on protein domains involved in the non‐folding chaperonin functions in an attempt to understand the emerging biology of this evolutionarily ancient protein family. 相似文献

It has been shown that in Escherichia coli the chaperone DnaK is necessary for the late stages of 50S and 30S ribosomal subunit assembly in vivo. Here we focus on the roles of other HSPs (heat-shock proteins), including the chaperonin GroEL, in addition to DnaK, in ribosome biogenesis at high temperature. GroEL is shown to be required for the very late 45S-->50S step in the biogenesis of the large ribosome subunit, but not for 30S assembly. Interestingly, overproduction of GroES/GroEL can partially compensate for a lack of DnaK/DnaJ at 44 degrees C. 相似文献

Chloroplast chaperonin 20 (Cpn20) in higher plants is a functional homologue of the Escherichia coli GroES, which is a critical regulator of chaperonin-mediated protein folding. The cDNA for a Cpn20 homologue of Arabidopsis thaliana was isolated. It was 958 bp long, encoding a protein of 253 amino acids. The protein was composed of an N-terminal chloroplast transit peptide, and the predicted mature region comprised two distinct GroES domains that showed 42% amino acid identity to each other. The isolated cDNA was constitutively expressed in transgenic tobacco. Immunogold labelling showed that Cpn20 is accumulated in chloroplasts of transgenic tobacco. A Northern blot analysis revealed that mRNA for the chloroplast Cpn20 is abundant in leaves and is increased by heat treatment. To examine the oligomeric structure of Cpn20, a histidine-tagged construct lacking the transit peptide was expressed in E. coli and purified by affinity chromatography. Gel-filtration and cross-linking analyses showed that the expressed products formed a tetramer. The expressed products could substitute for GroES to assist the refolding of citrate synthase under non-permissive conditions. The analysis on the subunit stoichiometry of the GroEL-Cpn20 complex also revealed that the functional complex is composed of a GroEL tetradecamer and a Cpn20 tetramer. 相似文献

The possibility of inhibition of chaperonin functional activity by amyloid proteins was studied. It was found that the ovine prion protein PrP as well as its oligomeric and fibrillar forms are capable of binding with the chaperonin GroEL. Besides, GroEL was shown to promote amyloid aggregation of the monomeric and oligomeric PrP as well as PrP fibrils. The monomeric PrP was shown to inhibit the GroEL-assisted reactivation of the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). The oligomers of PrP decelerate the GroEL-assisted reactivation of GAPDH, and PrP fibrils did not affect this process. The chaperonin GroEL is capable of interacting with GAPDH and different PrP forms simultaneously. A possible role of the inhibition of chaperonins by amyloid proteins in the misfolding of the enzymes involved in cell metabolism and in progression of neurodegenerative diseases of amyloid nature is discussed. 相似文献

Unlike Escherichia coli, cyanobacteria generally contain two GroEL homologs. The chaperone function of cyanobacterial GroELs was examined in vitro for the first time with GroEL1 and GroEL2 of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. Both GroELs prevented aggregation of heat-denatured proteins. The ATPase activity of GroEL1 was approximately one-sixth that of Escherichia coli GroEL, while that of GroEL2 was insignificant. The activities of both GroELs were enhanced by GroES, while that of Escherichia coli GroEL was suppressed. The ATPase activity of GroEL1 was greatly enhanced in the presence of GroEL2, but the folding activities of GroEL1 and GroEL2 were much lower than that of Escherichia coli GroEL, regardless of the co-presence of the counterpart or GroES. Both native and recombinant GroEL1 forms a tetradecamer like Escherichia coli GroEL, while GroEL2 forms a heptamer or dimer, but the GroEL1 and GroEL2 oligomers were extremely unstable. In sum, we concluded that the cyanobacterial GroELs are mutually distinct and different from Escherichia coli GroEL. 相似文献

In prokaryotes, the RuvA, B, and C proteins play major roles at the late stage of DNA homologous recombination, where RuvB complexed with RuvA acts as an ATP-dependent motor for branch migration. The oligomeric structures of negatively stained and frozen hydrated RuvB from Thermus thermophilus HB8 were investigated by electron microscopy. RuvB oligomers free of DNA formed a ring structure of about 14 nm in diameter. The averaged top view image clearly indicated a sevenfold symmetry, suggesting that it exists as a heptamer. The RuvB oligomers complexed with duplex DNA formed a smaller ring of about 13 nm in diameter. The averaged top view images represented a sixfold symmetry. This difference in oligomerization indicates that the oligomeric structure of RuvB may convert from a heptamer to a hexamer upon DNA binding. In addition, this finding provides the lesson that great care should be taken in investigating the subunit organizations of DNA binding proteins, because their oligomeric states are more sensitive to DNA interactions than expected. 相似文献

The chaperonins GroEL and Cpn60 were isolated from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 and characterized. In cells grown under optimal conditions their ratio was about one to one. However, the amount of GroEL increased considerably more than that of Cpn60 in response to heat stress. The labile chaperonin oligomer required stabilization by MgATP or glycerol during isolation. Use of the E. coli mutant strain, groEL44 revealed that the functional properties of the two cyanobacterial chaperonins are strikingly different. Overexpression of cyanobacterial GroEL in the E. coli mutant strain allowed growth at elevated temperature, the formation of mature bacteriophage T4, and active Rubisco enzyme assembly. In contrast, Cpn60 partially complemented the temperature-sensitive phenotype, the Rubisco assembly defect and did not promote the growth of the bacteriophage T4. The difference in chaperone activity of the two cyanobacterial chaperonins very probably reflects the unique chaperonin properties required during the life of Synechocystis PCC 6803. 相似文献
