Monomeric 14-3-3ζ Has a Chaperone-Like Activity and Is Stabilized by Phosphorylated HspB6
Members of the 14-3-3 eukaryotic protein family predominantly function as dimers. The dimeric form can be converted into monomers upon phosphorylation of Ser(58) located at the subunit interface. Monomers are less stable than dimers and have been considered to be either less active or even inactive during binding and regulation of phosphorylated client proteins. However, like dimers, monomers c...
متن کاملAn oncoprotein from the plant pathogen agrobacterium has histone chaperone-like activity.
Protein 6b, encoded by T-DNA from the pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens, stimulates the plant hormone-independent division of cells in culture in vitro and induces aberrant cell growth and the ectopic expression of various genes, including genes related to cell division and meristem-related class 1 KNOX homeobox genes, in 6b-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum plan...
متن کاملTranscription Elongation Factor GreA Has Functional Chaperone Activity
BACKGROUND Bacterial GreA is an indispensable factor in the RNA polymerase elongation complex. It plays multiple roles in transcriptional elongation, and may be implicated in resistance to various stresses. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we show that Escherichia coli GreA inhibits aggregation of several substrate proteins under heat shock condition. GreA can also effectively pr...
متن کاملProtein encoded by oncogene 6b from Agrobacterium tumefaciens has a reprogramming potential and histone chaperone-like activity
Crown gall tumors are formed mainly by actions of a group of genes in the T-DNA that is transferred from Agrobacterium tumefaciens and integrated into the nuclear DNA of host plants. These genes encode enzymes for biosynthesis of auxin and cytokinin in plant cells. Gene 6b in the T-DNA affects tumor morphology and this gene alone is able to induce small tumors on certain plant species. In addit...
متن کاملChaperone-like activity and surface hydrophobicity of 70S ribosome.
Ribosomes have been shown to mediate refolding of proteins in vitro. In order to understand the mechanism of action, we have explored the 70S ribosome surface for hydrophobicity, one of the important aspects in chaperone-target protein interaction. We find that the 70S ribosome displays significant hydrophobicity on its surface when probed with the hydrophobic fluorophore 8-anilino-1-naphthalen...
