Synthetic "chaperones": nanoparticle-mediated refolding of thermally denatured proteins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermally denatured chymotrypsin, lysozyme and papain are substantially refolded towards their native conformation by gold nanoparticle bearing dicarboxylate sidechains.

Chaperone network in the yeast cytosol: Hsp110 is revealed as an Hsp70 nucleotide exchange factor.
The Hsp110 proteins, exclusively found in the eukaryotic cytosol, have significant sequence homology to the Hsp70 molecular chaperone superfamily. Despite this homology and the cellular abundance of these proteins, the precise functional role has remained undefined. Here, we present the intriguing finding that the yeast homologue, Sse1p, acts as an efficient nucleotide exchange factor (NEF) for...
متن کاملThe molecular chaperone Hsc70 from a eurythermal marine goby exhibits temperature insensitivity during luciferase refolding assays.
The role and function of molecular chaperones has been widely studied in model systems (e.g. yeast, Escherichia coli and cultured mammalian cells), however, comparatively little is known about the function of molecular chaperones in eurythermal ectotherms. To investigate the thermal sensitivity of molecular chaperone function in non-model ectotherms, we examined the in vitro activity of Hsc70, ...
متن کاملTemperature-controlled activity of DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE chaperones: protein-folding arrest and recovery during and after heat shock depends on the substrate protein and the GrpE concentration.
Heat-shock proteins DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE (KJE) from Escherichia coli constitute a three-component chaperone system that prevents aggregation of denatured proteins and assists the refolding of proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. We found that the rate of KJE-mediated refolding of heat- and chemically denatured proteins is decreased at high temperatures. The efficiency and reversibility of prote...
متن کاملSuccessive and synergistic action of the Hsp70 and Hsp100 chaperones in protein disaggregation.
Proteins belonging to the B-subtype of the Hsp100/Clp chaperone family execute a crucial role in cellular thermotolerance. They cooperate with the Hsp70 chaperones in reactivation of thermally aggregated protein substrates. We investigated the initial events of the disaggregation reaction in real time using denatured, aggregated green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a substrate. Bacterial Hsp70 (D...
متن کاملComparison of Hsc70 orthologs from polar and temperate notothenioid fishes: differences in prevention of aggregation and refolding of denatured proteins.
Although a great deal is known about the cellular function of molecular chaperones in general, very little is known about the effect of temperature selection on the function of molecular chaperones in nonmodel organisms. One major unanswered question is whether orthologous variants of a molecular chaperone from differential thermally adapted species vary in their thermal responses. To address t...
