Fitted coordinates for GroEL-ADP7-GroES Cryo-EM complex (EMD-1181)
Structural highlights
FunctionCH60_ECOLI Prevents misfolding and promotes the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00600] Essential for the growth of the bacteria and the assembly of several bacteriophages. Also plays a role in coupling between replication of the F plasmid and cell division of the cell.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00600] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe double-ring chaperonin GroEL and its lid-like cochaperonin GroES form asymmetric complexes that, in the ATP-bound state, mediate productive folding in a hydrophilic, GroES-encapsulated chamber, the so-called cis cavity. Upon ATP hydrolysis within the cis ring, the asymmetric complex becomes able to accept non-native polypeptides and ATP in the open, trans ring. Here we have examined the structural basis for this allosteric switch in activity by cryo-EM and single-particle image processing. ATP hydrolysis does not change the conformation of the cis ring, but its effects are transmitted through an inter-ring contact and cause domain rotations in the mobile trans ring. These rigid-body movements in the trans ring lead to disruption of its intra-ring contacts, expansion of the entire ring and opening of both the nucleotide pocket and the substrate-binding domains, admitting ATP and new substrate protein.
