Abstract

The DnaK system from Thermus thermophilus (DnaK(Tth)) exhibits pronounced differences in organisation and regulation to its mesophile counterpart from Escherichia coli (DnaK(Eco)). While the ATPase cycle of DnaK(Eco) is tightly regulated by the concerted action of the two cofactors DnaJ(Eco) and GrpE(Eco), the DnaK(Tth) system features an imbalance in this cochaperone mediated regulation. GrpE(Tth) considerably accelerates the ATP/ADP exchange, but DnaJ(Tth) only slightly stimulates ATPase activity, believed to be a key step for chaperone activity of DnaK(Eco). By in vitro complementation assays, we could not detect significant ATPase-stimulation of orthologous DnaJ(Tth) . DnaKEco or DnaJ(Eco). DnaK(Tth)-complexes as compared to the DnaK(Eco) system, although they were nevertheless active in luciferase refolding experiments. Assistance of protein recovery by DnaK thus seems to be uncoupled of the magnitude of DnaJ mediated ATPase-stimulation.
