Abstract excerpt
GrpE is the nucleotide-exchange factor of the DnaK chaperone system. Escherichia coli cells with the classical temperature-sensitive grpE280 phenotype do not grow under heat-shock conditions and have been found to carry the G122D point mutation in GrpE. To date, the molecular mechanism of this defect has not been investigated in detail. Here, we examined the structural and functional properties of isolated...
