The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) must target potentially toxic misfolded proteins for retrotranslocation and proteasomal degradation while avoiding destruction of productive folding intermediates. For… (More)
The AAA(+) chaperone ClpB mediates the reactivation of aggregated proteins in cooperation with the DnaK chaperone system. ClpB consists of two AAA domains that drive the ATP-dependent threading of… (More)
ClpB of Escherichia coli is an ATP-dependent ring-forming chaperone that mediates the resolubilization of aggregated proteins in cooperation with the DnaK chaperone system. ClpB belongs to the… (More)
The AAA+ protein ClpB cooperates with the DnaK chaperone system to solubilize and refold proteins from an aggregated state. The substrate-binding site of ClpB and the mechanism of ClpB-dependent… (More)
The AAA+ protein ClpB mediates the solubilization of protein aggregates in cooperation with the DnaK chaperone system (KJE). The order of action of ClpB and KJE on aggregated proteins is unknown. We… (More)
AAA+ proteins remodel target substrates in an ATP-dependent manner, an activity that is of central importance for a plethora of cellular processes. While sharing a similar hexameric structure AAA+… (More)
Aprotein quality control system, consisting of molecular chaperones and proteases, controls the folding status of proteins and prevents the aggregation of misfolded proteins by either refolding or… (More)
Cell survival under severe thermal stress requires the activity of a bi-chaperone system, consisting of the ring-forming AAA+ chaperone ClpB (Hsp104) and the DnaK (Hsp70) chaperone system, which acts… (More)
