(a) The folding of the unfolded protein (U) to the correct (C) form is favored thermodynamically. Chaperone is not necessary.

(b) The folding of the unfolded protein (U) to the incorrect (I) form is favored thermodynamically. Chaperone is necessary.

Role of chaperones in the thermodynamic point of view

Ellis R.J., Annu. Rev. Biochem., 1991

The idea of molecular chaperones

Named after the human chaperone: “usually an elderly woman who accompanies a young unmarried lady to prevent not proper interactions

with other people.

Molecular chaperones: proteins assisting folding of nascent polypeptides, by preventing wrong folding.

Molecular chaperones catalyze the formation of correctly folded, functionally active, native proteins, but they are not part of the product.

Expression of many chaperon is induced by stress, such as by heat, because during heat-stress the probability of wrong folding is higher, therefore cells need more protection.

These chaperons are called heat shock proteins (HSP’s).

RUBISCO and the chaperonins

Rubisco denaturated with guanine at +25o Cand chaperonin 60, chaperonin 10, ATP, Mg++ were added

When removing guanine

very poor recovery

80% recovery

Rubisco denaturated with guanine at +25o C

good recovery
