Abstract excerpt
Trigger factor (TF) is the first chaperone encountered by nascent chains in bacteria, which consists of two modules: peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerase (PPIase) domain and a crevice built by both N- and C-terminal domains. While the crevice is suggested to provide a protective space over the peptide exit site of ribosome for nascent polypeptides to fold, it remains unclear whether PPIase domain is directly...
