'''CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF SELF-CAPPING PAPD CHAPERONE HOMODIMERS'''
===CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF SELF-CAPPING PAPD CHAPERONE HOMODIMERS===




==Overview==
<!--
PapD is an immunoglobulin-like chaperone that mediates the assembly of P pili in uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. It binds and caps interactive surfaces on pilus subunits to prevent their premature associations in the periplasm. We elucidated the structural basis of a mechanism whereby PapD also interacts with itself, capping its own subunit binding surface. Crystal structures of dimeric forms of PapD revealed that this self-capping mechanism involves a rearrangement and ordering of the C2-D2 and F1-G1 loops upon dimerization which might ensure that a stable dimer is not formed in solution in spite of a relatively large dimer interface. An analysis of site directed mutations revealed that chaperone dimerization requires the same surface that is otherwise used to bind subunits.
