Abstract
The collapse of polypeptides is thought important to protein folding, aggregation, intrinsic disorder, and phase separation. However, whether polypeptide collapse is modulated in cells to control protein states is unclear. Here, using integrated protein manipulation and imaging, we show that the chaperonin GroEL-ES can accelerate the folding of proteins by strengthening their collapse. GroEL induces contractile forces in substrate chains, which draws them into the cavity and triggers a general compaction and discrete folding transitions, even for slow-folding proteins. This collapse enhancement is strongest in the nucleotide-bound states of GroEL and is aided by GroES binding to the cavity rim and by the amphiphilic C-terminal tails at the cavity bottom. Collapse modulation is distinct from other proposed GroEL-ES folding acceleration mechanisms, including steric confinement and misfold unfolding. Given the prevalence of collapse throughout the proteome, we conjecture that collapse modulation is more generally relevant within the protein quality control machinery.

Abstract
Campylobacter is the leading cause of the human bacterial foodborne infections in the developed countries. The perception cues from biotic or abiotic environments by the bacteria are often related to bacterial surface and membrane proteins that mediate the cellular response for the adaptation of Campylobacter jejuni to the environment. These proteins function rarely as a unique entity, they are often organized in functional complexes. In C. jejuni, these complexes are not fully identified and some of them remain unknown. To identify putative functional multi-subunit entities at the membrane subproteome level of C. jejuni, a holistic non a priori method was addressed using two-dimensional blue native/Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in strain C. jejuni 81-176. Couples of acrylamide gradient/migration-time, membrane detergent concentration and hand-made strips were optimized to obtain reproducible extraction and separation of intact membrane protein complexes (MPCs). The MPCs were subsequently denatured using SDS-PAGE and each spot from each MPCs was identified by mass spectrometry. Altogether, 21 MPCs could be detected including multi homo-oligomeric and multi hetero-oligomeric complexes distributed in both inner and outer membranes. The function, the conservation and the regulation of the MPCs across C. jejuni strains were inspected by functional and genomic comparison analyses. In this study, relatedness between subunits of two efflux pumps, CmeABC and MacABputC was observed. In addition, a consensus sequence CosR-binding box in promoter regions of MacABputC was present in C. jejuni but not in Campylobacter coli. The MPCs identified in C. jejuni 81-176 membrane are involved in protein folding, molecule trafficking, oxidative phosphorylation, membrane structuration, peptidoglycan biosynthesis, motility and chemotaxis, stress signaling, efflux pumps and virulence.

Abstract
Chaperonins assist folding of many cellular proteins, including essential proteins for cell viability. However, it remains unclear how chaperonin-assisted folding is different from spontaneous folding. Chaperonin GroEL/GroES facilitates folding of denatured protein encapsulated in its central cage but the denatured protein often escapes from the cage to the outside during reaction. Here, we show evidence that the in-cage-folding and the escape occur diverging from the same intermediate complex in which polypeptide is tethered loosely to the cage and partly protrudes out of the cage. Furthermore, denatured proteins in the chaperonin cage are kept in more extended conformation than those initially formed in spontaneous folding. We propose that the formation of tethered intermediate of polypeptide is necessary to prevent polypeptide collapse at the expense of polypeptide escape. The tethering of polypeptide would allow freely mobile portions of tethered polypeptide to fold segmentally.

Abstract
The chaperonin genes encoding GroELGt (ESU72018) and GroESGt (ESU72017), homologues of bacterial GroEL and GroES, from Geobacillus thermopakistaniensis were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified gene products possessed the ATPase activity similar to other bacterial and eukaryal counterparts. Recombinant GroELGt and GroESGt were able to refold the denatured insoluble aggregates of α-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis into soluble and active form. Furthermore, GroELGt and GroESGt successfully enhanced the thermostability of porcine heart malate dehydrogenase. Expression of GroELGt gene in E. coli cells enhanced the thermotolerance of the host. Furthermore, soluble production of recombinant alcohol dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis strain R5 in E. coli, initially produced as insoluble aggregates, was achieved by co-expressing the gene with GroELGt. Our results implied that GroELGt could assist folding of nascent protein in E. coli with the help of host co-chaperonin without requiring additional ATP. This system can be used for soluble production of recombinant proteins which otherwise are produced in insoluble form in E. coli. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on functional characterization and applications of chaperonins from genus Geobacillus.

Abstract
Chaperones are important in preventing protein aggregation and aiding protein folding. How chaperones aid protein folding remains a key question in understanding their mechanism. The possibility of proteins folding while bound to chaperones was reintroduced recently with the chaperone Spy, many years after the phenomenon was first reported with the chaperones GroEL and SecB. In this review, we discuss the salient features of folding while bound in the cases for which it has been observed and speculate about its biological importance and possible occurrence in other chaperones.

Differential conformational modulations of MreB folding upon interactions with GroEL/ES and TRiC chaperonin components. Sci Rep 2016; 6:28386.

Abstract
Here, we study and compare the mechanisms of action of the GroEL/GroES and the TRiC chaperonin systems on MreB client protein variants extracted from E. coli. MreB is a homologue to actin in prokaryotes. Single-molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and time-resolved fluorescence polarization anisotropy report the binding interaction of folding MreB with GroEL, GroES and TRiC. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements on MreB variants quantified molecular distance changes occurring during conformational rearrangements within folding MreB bound to chaperonins. We observed that the MreB structure is rearranged by a binding-induced expansion mechanism in TRiC, GroEL and GroES. These results are quantitatively comparable to the structural rearrangements found during the interaction of β-actin with GroEL and TRiC, indicating that the mechanism of chaperonins is conserved during evolution. The chaperonin-bound MreB is also significantly compacted after addition of AMP-PNP for both the GroEL/ES and TRiC systems. Most importantly, our results showed that GroES may act as an unfoldase by inducing a dramatic initial expansion of MreB (even more than for GroEL) implicating a role for MreB folding, allowing us to suggest a delivery mechanism for GroES to GroEL in prokaryotes.
