Abstract
Co-chaperonins function together with chaperonins to mediate ATP-dependent protein folding in a variety of cellular compartments. Chaperonins are evolutionarily conserved and form two distinct classes, namely, group I and group II chaperonins. GroEL and its co-chaperonin GroES form part of group I and are the archetypal members of this family of protein folding machines. The unique mechanism used by GroEL and GroES to drive protein folding is embedded in the complex architecture of double-ringed complexes, forming two central chambers that undergo conformational rearrangements that enable protein folding to occur. GroES forms a lid over the chamber and in doing so dislodges bound substrate into the chamber, thereby allowing non-native proteins to fold in isolation. GroES also modulates allosteric transitions of GroEL. Group II chaperonins are functionally similar to group I chaperonins but differ in structure and do not require a co-chaperonin. A significant number of bacteria and eukaryotes house multiple chaperonin and co-chaperonin proteins, many of which have acquired additional intracellular and extracellular biological functions. In some instances, co-chaperonins display contrasting functions to those of chaperonins. Human HSP60 (HSPD) continues to play a key role in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, in particular autoimmune diseases and cancer. A greater understanding of the fascinating roles of both intracellular and extracellular Hsp10 on cellular processes will accelerate the development of techniques to treat diseases associated with the chaperonin family.

Abstract
Physics of protein folding has been dominated by conceptual frameworks including the nucleation-propagation mechanism and the diffusion-collision model, and none address the topological properties of a chain during a folding process. Single-molecule interrogation of folded biomolecules has enabled real-time monitoring of folding processes at an unprecedented resolution. Despite these advances, the topology landscape has not been fully mapped for any chain. Using a novel circuit topology approach, we map the topology landscape of a model polymeric chain. Inspired by single-molecule mechanical interrogation studies, we restrained the ends of a chain and followed fold nucleation dynamics. We find that, before the nucleation, transient local entropic loops dominate. Although the nucleation length of globules is dependent on the cohesive interaction, the ultimate topological states of the collapsed polymer are largely independent of the interaction but depend on the speed of the folding process. After the nucleation, transient topological rearrangements are observed that converge to a steady-state, where the fold grows in a self-similar manner.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular chaperones are a very special class of proteins that play essential roles in many cellular processes like folding, targeting and transport of proteins. Moreover, recent evidence indicates that chaperones can act as potentially strong suppressor agents in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Indeed, in vitro experiments demonstrate that several chaperones are able to significantly slow down or suppress aggregation of Aβ peptide and in vivo studies reveal that treatment with specific chaperones or their overexpression can ameliorate some distinct pathological signs characterizing AD. METHODS Here we investigate using a biophysical approach (fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), transmission electron (TEM) and atomic force (AFM) microscopy, size exclusion chromatography (SEC)) the effect of the human chaperonin Hsp60 on Aβ fibrillogenesis. RESULTS We found that Hsp60 powerfully inhibits Aβ amyloid aggregation, by closing molecular pathways leading to peptide fibrillogenesis. CONCLUSIONS We observe that Hsp60 inhibits Aβ aggregation through a more complex mechanism than a simple folding chaperone action. The action is specifically directed toward the early oligomeric species behaving as aggregation seeds for on-pathway amyloid fibrillogenesis. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Understanding the specificity of the molecular interactions of Hsp60 with amyloid Aβ peptide allowed us to emphasize the important aspects to be taken into consideration when considering the recent promising therapeutic strategies for neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Encapsulation of proteins in chaperonins is an important mechanism by which the cell prevents the accumulation of misfolded species in the cytosol. However, results from theory and simulation for repulsive cavities appear to be inconsistent with recent experimental results showing, if anything, a slowdown in folding rate for encapsulated Rhodanese. We study the folding of Rhodanese in GroEL, using coarse-grained molecular simulations of the complete system including chaperonin and substrate protein. We find that, by approximating the substrate:GroEL interactions as repulsive, we obtain a strong acceleration in rate of between one and two orders of magnitude; a similar result is obtained by representing the chaperonin as a simple spherical cavity. Remarkably, however, we find that using a carefully parameterized, sequence-based potential to capture specific residue-residue interactions between Rhodanese and the GroEL cavity walls induces a very strong reduction of the folding rates. The effect of the interactions is large enough to completely offset the effects of confinement, such that folding in some cases can be even slower than that of the unconfined protein. The origin of the slowdown appears to be stabilization--relative to repulsive confinement--of the unfolded state through binding to the cavity walls, rather than a reduction of the diffusion coefficient along the folding coordinate.

Abstract
The aggregation of two negatively-charged polypeptides, poly-L-glutamic acid (PE) and a copolymer of poly-glutamic acid and poly-alanine (PEA), has been studied at different peptide and salt concentrations and solution pH conditions. The kinetics of aggregation were based on Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence measurements. The observed lag phase shortened and the aggregation was faster as the pH approached the polypeptides' isoelectric points. While the initial polypeptide structures of PE and PEA appeared identical as determined from circular dichroism spectroscopy, the final aggregate morphology differed; PE assumed large twisted lamellar structures and the PEA formed typical amyloid-like fibrils, although both contained extensive beta-sheet structure. Differences in aggregation behavior were observed for the two polypeptides as a function of salt concentration; aggregation progressed more slowly for PE and more quickly for PEA with increasing salt concentration. Several models of aggregation kinetics were fit to the data. No model yielded consistent rate constants or a critical nucleus size. A modified nucleated polymerization model was developed based on that of Powers and Powers [E.T. Powers, D.L. Powers, The kinetics of nucleated polymerizations at high concentrations: Amyloid fibril formation near and above the "supercritical concentration", Biophys. J. 91 (2006) 122-132], which incorporated the ability of oligomeric species to interact. This provided a best fit to the experimental data.

Abstract
The biological function of chaperone complexes is to assist the folding of non-native proteins. The widely studied GroEL chaperonin is a double-barreled complex that can trap non-native proteins in one of its two barrels. The ATP-driven binding of a GroES cap then results in a major structural change of the chamber where the substrate is trapped and initiates a refolding attempt. The two barrels operate anti-synchronously. The central region between the two barrels contains a high concentration of disordered protein chains, the role of which was thus far unclear. In this work we report a combination of atomistic and coarse-grained simulations that probe the structure and dynamics of the equatorial region of the GroEL/GroES chaperonin complex. Surprisingly, our simulations show that the equatorial region provides a translocation channel that will block the passage of folded proteins but allows the passage of secondary units with the diameter of an alpha-helix. We compute the free-energy barrier that has to be overcome during translocation and find that it can easily be crossed under the influence of thermal fluctuations. Hence, strongly non-native proteins can be squeezed like toothpaste from one barrel to the next where they will refold. Proteins that are already fairly close to the native state will not translocate but can refold in the chamber where they were trapped. Several experimental results are compatible with this scenario, and in the case of the experiments of Martin and Hartl, intra chaperonin translocation could explain why under physiological crowding conditions the chaperonin does not release the substrate protein.
