The folded state of protein Christian Anfinsen (Nobel 1972) The linear sequence of biological proteins have sufficient information for the folded state
BUT This is a thermodynamic, not kinetic, fact The folded state of protein Christian Anfinsen (Nobel 1972) The linear sequence of biological proteins have sufficient information for the folded state
E represents the energy of the system Q is defined as the proportion of native contacts formed P is a measure of the available conformational space.
During folding things can go wrong correct aggregate misfolded
The cell is not a biochemist... When preparing a protein a biochemist likes Cold temperatures High purity Concentration in the 1-2 mg/ml range No environmental insults
The cell is not a biochemist... Inside the cell conditions are 37 oC 1000s of other proteins Incredibly high concentrations (200-300 mg/ml) Continuous internal and external insult
Chaperones to the rescue Bind misfolded proteins Various groups Essential for life Found in all 3 domains Often use ATP in their action

Chaperones participate in many actions folding and refolding preservation of unfolded state facilitation of transport block to aggregation disaggregation degradation assembly/dissembly of oligomeric complexes facilitation of signaling processes
(Some) Types of chaperones Hsp70 Hsp60 chambered chaperonins Hsp90 Small heat shock proteins (sHsp) Co-chaperones
Hsp70 or DnaK Monmeric proteins N-terminal ATPase domain C-terminal substrate binding domain Operates as a monomer (but...) 10-20% of de novo folding in bacteria
Some of the prototype Hsp70s DnaK in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts BiP in eukaryotic ER Hsc70 in eukaryotic cytosol

Co-operation of chaperones is common Groups of chaperones will cooperate to fold or do other functions These interactions can create mulitple pathways Can be different for different substrates Can be different for different physiological circumstances
eukaryotic folding
Co-chaperones work with chaperones DnaJ or Hsp40: stimulate ATPase activity of Hsp70 and mediate substrate loading Bag proteins stimulate ADP/ATP exchange GroES works with GroEL to cap chamber CHIP creates a ubiquitin ligase
Diseases of folding Amyloid syndromes: Huntingtons, Alzheimers, etc Retinopathies Normal ageing and misfolded proteins Many mutants cause misfolding that leads to phenotypes
