Abstract excerpt
Previous work has shown that the GroEL-GroES interaction is primarily mediated by the GroES mobile loop. In bacteriophage T4 infection, GroES is substituted by the gene 31-encoded cochaperonin, Gp31. Using a genetic selection scheme, we have identified a new set of mutations in gene 31 that affect interaction with GroEL; all mutations result in changes in the mobile loop of Gp31. Biochemical analyses reveal that...
