  • Title: Nucleotide-dependent oligomerization of ClpB from Escherichia coli.
    Author: Zolkiewski M, Kessel M, Ginsburg A, Maurizi MR.
    Journal: Protein Sci; 1999 Sep; 8(9):1899-903. PubMed ID: 10493591.
    Abstract:
    Self-association of ClpB (a mixture of 95- and 80-kDa subunits) has been studied with gel filtration chromatography, analytical ultracentrifugation, and electron microscopy. Monomeric ClpB predominates at low protein concentration (0.07 mg/mL), while an oligomeric form is highly populated at >4 mg/mL. The oligomer formation is enhanced in the presence of 2 mM ATP or adenosine 5'-O-thiotriphosphate (ATPgammaS). In contrast, 2 mM ADP inhibits full oligomerization of ClpB. The apparent size of the ATP- or ATPgammaS-induced oligomer, as determined by gel filtration, sedimentation velocity and electron microscopy image averaging, and the molecular weight, as determined by sedimentation equilibrium, are consistent with those of a ClpB hexamer. These results indicate that the oligomerization reactions of ClpB are similar to those of other Hsp100 proteins.
