== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CBPA_ECOLI CBPA_ECOLI] DNA-binding protein that preferentially recognizes a curved DNA sequence. It is probably a functional analog of DnaJ; displays overlapping activities with DnaJ, but functions under different conditions, probably acting as a molecular chaperone in an adaptive response to environmental stresses other than heat shock. Lacks autonomous chaperone activity; binds native substrates and targets them for recognition by DnaK. Its activity is inhibited by the binding of CbpM.<ref>PMID:7601860</ref> <ref>PMID:8824642</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
CbpA, one of the Escherichia coli DnaJ homologues, acts as a co-chaperone in the DnaK chaperone system. Despite its extensive similarity in domain structure and function to DnaJ, CbpA has a unique and specific regulatory mechanism mediated through the small protein CbpM. Both CbpA and CbpM are highly conserved in bacteria. Earlier studies showed that CbpM interacts with the N-terminal J-domain of CbpA inhibiting its co-chaperone activity but the structural basis of this interaction is not known. Here, we have combined NMR spectroscopy, site-directed mutagenesis and surface plasmon resonance to characterize the CbpA/CbpM interaction at the molecular level. We have determined the solution structure of the CbpA J-domain and mapped the residues that are perturbed upon CbpM binding. The NMR data defined a broad region on helices alpha2 and alpha 3 as involved in the interactions. Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to further delineate the CbpA J-domain/CbpM interface. We show that the binding sites of CbpM and DnaK on CbpA J-domain overlap, which suggests a competition between DnaK and CbpM for binding to CbpA as a mechanism for CbpA regulation. This study also provides the explanation for the specificity of CbpM for CbpA versus DnaJ, by identifying the key residues for differential binding.
