'''Crystal structure of the chaperonin GroEL-E461K'''<br />
'''Crystal structure of the chaperonin GroEL-E461K'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The chaperonin GroEL adopts a double-ring structure with various modes of, allosteric communication. The simultaneous positive intra-ring and, negative inter-ring co-operativities alternate the functionality of the, folding cavities in both protein rings. Negative inter-ring co-operativity, is maintained through different inter-ring interactions, including a salt, bridge involving Glu 461. Replacement of this residue by Lys modifies the, temperature sensitivity of the substrate-folding activity of this protein, most likely as a result of the loss of inter-ring co-operativity. The, crystal structure of the mutant chaperonin GroELE461K has been determined, at 3.3A and compared with other structures: the wild-type GroEL, an, allosteric defective GroEL double mutant and the GroEL-GroES-(ADP)7, complex. The inter-ring region of the mutant exhibits the following, characteristics: (i) no salt-bridge stabilizes the inter-ring interface;, (ii) the mutated residue plays a central role in defining the relative, ring rotation (of about 22 degrees) around the 7-fold axis; (iii) an, increase in the inter-ring distance and solvent accessibility of the, inter-ring interface; and (iv) a 2-fold reduction in the stabilization, energy of the inter-ring interface, due to the modification of inter-ring, interactions. These characteristics explain how the thermal sensitivity of, the protein's fundamental properties permits GroEL to distinguish, physiological (37 degrees C) from stress (42 degrees C) temperatures.
