Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the exact role of the helical protrusion of a group II chaperonin in its molecular chaperone function, three deletion mutants of the chaperonin from a hyperthermophilic archaeum (Thermococcus sp. strain KS-1) lacking one-third, two-thirds, and the whole of the helical protrusion were constructed. The helical protrusion is thought to be substituted for the co-chaperonin GroES of a group I chaperonin...
