Stabilization of GroEL minichaperones by core and surface mutations.
We report the crystal structures of two hexa-substituted mutants of a GroEL minichaperone that are more stable than wild-type by 7.0 and 6.1 kcal mol(-1). Their structures imply that the increased stability results from multiple factors including improved hydrophobic packing, optimised hydrogen bonding and favourable structural rearrangements. It is commonly believed that protein core residues ...
متن کاملThermodynamic stability and folding of GroEL minichaperones.
The apical domain of GroEL (residues 191 to 376) and its C-terminally truncated fragment GroEL(191-345) are expressed with high yield in Escherichia coli to give functional monomeric minichaperones. Owing to the reversible folding behaviour of the minichaperones we can analyse the folding of the polypeptide binding domain of the multidomain GroEL protein, the folding of which is known to be irr...
متن کاملIn vivo activities of GroEL minichaperones.
Fragments encompassing the apical domain of GroEL, called minichaperones, facilitate the refolding of several proteins in vitro without requiring GroES, ATP, or the cage-like structure of multimeric GroEL. We have identified the smallest minichaperone that is active in vitro in chaperoning the refolding of rhodanese and cyclophilin A: GroEL(193-335). This finding raises the question of whether ...

شناسایی مخاطرات در واحد 400 پالایشگاه گاز پارسیان. در این پروزه با بکارگیری از تکنیک hazop به شناسا یی مخاطرات ، انحرافات ممکن و در صورت لزوم ارایه راهکارهای مناسب جهت افزایش ایمنی فرا یند پرداخته میگردد. شرایط عملیاتی مخاطره آمیز نظیر فشار و دمای بالا و وجود ترکیبات مختلف سمی و قابل انفجار در واحدهای پالایش گاز، ضرورت توجه به موارد ایمنی در این چنین واحدهایی را مشخص می سازد. مطالعه hazop یک ر...
Stabilization of Escherichia coli ribonuclease HI by cavity-filling mutations within a hydrophobic core.
The crystal structure of Escherichia coli ribonuclease HI has a cavity near Val-74 within the protein core. In order to fill the cavity space, we constructed two mutant proteins, V74L and V74I, in which Val-74 was replaced with either Leu or Ile, respectively. The mutant proteins are stabilized, as revealed by a 2.1-3.7 degrees C increase in the Tm values, as compared to the wild-type protein a...
