Abstract excerpt
The role of ribosome-binding molecular chaperones in protein folding is not yet well understood. Trigger factor (TF) is the first chaperone to interact with nascent polypeptides as they emerge from the bacterial ribosome. It binds to the ribosome as a monomer but forms dimers in free solution. Based on recent crystal structures, TF has an elongated shape, with the peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerase (PPIase)...
