Crystal structure of the chaperonin from Thermococcus strain KS-1 (nucleotide-free form)
OverviewOverview
The crystal structures of the group II chaperonins consisting of the alpha subunit with amino acid substitutions of G65C and/or I125T from the hyperthermophilic archaeum Thermococcus strain KS-1 were determined. These mutants have been shown to be active in ATP hydrolysis but inactive in protein folding. The structures were shown to be double-ring hexadecamers in an extremely closed form, which was consistent with the crystal structure of native alpha8beta8-chaperonin from Thermoplasma acidophilum. Comparisons of the present structures with the atomic structures of the GroEL14-GroES7-(ADP)7 complex revealed that the deficiency in protein-folding activity with the G65C amino acid substitution is caused by the steric hindrance of the local conformational change in an equatorial domain. We concluded that this mutant chaperonin with G65C substitution is deprived of the smooth conformational change in the refolding-reaction cycle. We obtained a new form of crystal with a distinct space group at a lower concentration of sulfate ion in the presence of nucleotide. The crystal structure obtained at the lower concentration of sulfate ion tilts outward, and has much looser inter-subunit contacts compared with those in the presence of a higher concentration of sulfate ion. Such subunit rotation has never been characterized in group II chaperonins. The crystal structure obtained at the lower concentration of sulfate ion tilts outward, and has much looser inter-subunit contacts compared with those in the presence of a higher concentration of sulfate ion.
