Protein GrpE; Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins, in association with DnaK and GrpE. It is the nucleotide exchange factor for DnaK and may function as a thermosensor. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction cycle. Several rounds of ATP-dependent i [...]

Cpn60 chaperonin GroEL, large subunit of GroESL; Prevents misfolding and promotes the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase.

10 kDa chaperonin; Binds to Cpn60 in the presence of Mg-ATP and suppresses the ATPase activity of the latter.

ATPase, AAA family.

SUF system FeS assembly protein, NifU family.

Lon protease; ATP-dependent serine protease that mediates the selective degradation of mutant and abnormal proteins as well as certain short- lived regulatory proteins. Required for cellular homeostasis and for survival from DNA damage and developmental changes induced by stress. Degrades polypeptides processively to yield small peptide fragments that are 5 to 10 amino acids long. Binds to DNA in a double-stranded, site-specific manner.

OmpA family protein.
