Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli Hsp40 DnaJ uses its J-domain (Jd) to couple ATP hydrolysis and client protein capture in Hsp70 DnaK. Fusion of the Jd to peptide p5 (as in Jdp5) dramatically increases the apparent affinity of the p5 moiety for DnaK in the presence of ATP, and Jdp5 stimulates ATP hydrolysis in DnaK by several orders of magnitude. NMR experiments with [(15)N]Jdp5 demonstrated that the peptide tethers the Jd to...
