additional information | subunits ApCpnA and ApCpnB are able to hydrolyze not only ATP, but also CTP, GTP, and UTP, albeit with different efficacies. Addition of subunits ApCpnA and ApCpnB effectively protects porcine heart citrate synthase and alcohol dehydrogenase from thermal aggregation and inactivation at 43°C and 50°C, respectively. In particular, the addition of ATP or CTP to subunits ApCpnA and ApCpnB results in the most effective prevention of thermal aggregation and inactivation of the substrate proteins | Aeropyrum pernix | ? | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | group II chaperonins exist as an 8- or 9-membered rotationally symmetrical double-ring in a toridal structure composed of homologous subunits of about 60 kDa. Each ring has a large central cavity in which a non-native protein can undergo productive folding in an ATP-dependent manner. A unique structural feature, termed the helical protrusion, acts as a built-in lid to seal off the central cavity of group II chaperonins during folding. Opening and closing of the folding chamber is controlled by a conformational cycle driven by ATP binding and hydrolysis. All chaperonins share a similar subunit architecture consisting of three distinct domains as follows: an ATP-binding equatorial domain, a distal apical domain harboring the polypeptide-binding sites, and an intermediate hinge domain | Aeropyrum pernix |
physiological function | chaperonins are ubiquitous chaperones that are required for correct protein folding, assembly, and degradation | Aeropyrum pernix |
