Binds substrate over a large region of its convex inner surface (PubMed:21317898, PubMed:24497545). Substrate protein folds while it is bound to chaperone (PubMed:26619265). Increasing Spy flexibility increases its substrate affinity and overall chaperone activity (shown for 3 different substrates) (PubMed:24497545). Protects proteins in vitro against tannin inactivation; tannins have antimicrobial activity (PubMed:21317898). Overexpression enhances the stability of otherwise unstable periplasmic proteins (PubMed:21317898). Publication Abstract from PubMed Challenges in determining the structures of heterogeneous and dynamic protein complexes have greatly hampered past efforts to obtain a mechanistic understanding of many important biological processes. One such process is chaperone-assisted protein folding. Obtaining structural ensembles of chaperone-substrate complexes would ultimately reveal how chaperones help proteins fold into their native state. To address this problem, we devised a new structural biology approach based on X-ray crystallography, termed residual electron and anomalous density (READ). READ enabled us to visualize even sparsely populated conformations of the substrate protein immunity protein 7 (Im7) in complex with the Escherichia coli chaperone Spy, and to capture a series of snapshots depicting the various folding states of Im7 bound to Spy. The ensemble shows that Spy-associated Im7 samples conformations ranging from unfolded to partially folded to native-like states and reveals how a substrate can explore its folding landscape while being bound to a chaperone.
