GroEL Structure and Function

Loading

GroEL is a bacterial Hsp60 chaperonin that assists protein folding through ATP-dependent structural changes. Learn how its equatorial, intermediate, and apical domains, double-ring architecture, oligomerization, and interaction with GroES create a dynamic protein-folding machine.

GroES Structure and Function

Loading

GroES is a bacterial co-chaperonin that works together with GroEL, an Hsp60 molecular chaperone, to assist the folding of proteins…

GroEL ATPase Cycle

Loading

The GroEL ATPase cycle drives the bacterial Hsp60 chaperonin mechanism. Explore how ATP binding, hydrolysis, GroES association, conformational changes, folding-chamber formation, and substrate release work together to assist protein folding.

GroEL-GroES Chaperonin System

Loading

GroEL-GroES is a bacterial Hsp60 chaperonin system that assists protein folding through an ATP-dependent cycle. Discover how GroEL captures non-native proteins, GroES forms the folding chamber, and repeated cycles promote productive protein folding while limiting aggregation.

Hsp40 and DnaJ Proteins: Co-Chaperones of the Hsp70 Molecular Chaperone System

Loading

Hsp40 and DnaJ proteins are important co-chaperones that regulate Hsp70 activity, recognize protein substrates, stimulate ATP hydrolysis, prevent protein aggregation, and support cellular proteostasis.
