Abstract excerpt
The GrpE heat shock protein from Escherichia coli has a homodimeric structure. The dimer interface encompasses two long alpha-helices at the NH(2)-terminal end from each monomer (forming a "tail"), which lead into a small four-helix bundle from which each monomer contributes two short sequential alpha-helices in an antiparallel topological arrangement. We have created a number of different deletion mutants of...
