Abstract excerpt
A key feature to the dimeric structure for the GrpE heat shock protein is the pair of long helices at the NH(2)-terminal end followed by a presumable extended segment of about 30 amino acids from each monomer. We have constructed a GrpE deletion mutant protein that contains only the unique tail portion (GrpE1-89) and another that is missing this region (GrpE88-197). Circular dichroism analysis shows that the...
