Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, the ribosome-associated chaperone Trigger Factor (TF) promotes the folding of newly synthesized cytosolic proteins. TF is composed of three domains: an N-terminal domain (N), which mediates ribosome binding; a central domain (P), which has peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase activity and is involved in substrate binding in vitro; and a C-terminal domain (C) with unknown function. We...
