Cooperativity in the thermosome.

Abstract:

:The thermosome from Thermoplasma acidophilum is a type II chaperonin composed of eight alpha and eight beta subunits. The genes encoding the two types of subunit were co-expressed in Escherichia coli and the alpha8/beta8 complex purified from the cell extract. The isolated complex showed steady-state ATPase properties characteristic of the thermosome purified from the native organism and was capable of enhancing the folding yield of a thermostable enzyme at elevated temperature (55 degrees C). To compare the nucleotide response of this double-ring structure with the type I and more compositionally heterogeneous type II chaperonins, the tryptophan residue within the alpha subunit was used as a fluorescence reporter of the conformational changes within the thermosome induced by the binding of nucleotides. Stopped-flow measurements of indole fluorescence at 55 degrees C showed that there is a fast (approximately 350 s(-1)) and a slow (approximately 0.6 s(-1)) structural rearrangement when ATP binds to the thermosome. Further examination of the fast rearrangement showed that the associated rate constant followed a two-phase saturation profile, as it does for GroEL and for the type II chaperonin from the eukaryotic cytoplasm. This result, in keeping with these precedents, reveals that the thermosome is also a negatively cooperative system with respect to inter-ring communications, i.e. the first ring loads with higher affinity than the second. As in the case of GroEL, the loading of the second ring is weakened by ADP, implying that asymmetric ATP/ADP complexes are favoured over symmetric ones. Despite the difference in co-protein involvement in the type I and II chaperonins, these observations show that negative cooperativity is a common feature of all chaperonins thus far examined. This property results in a strong preference for asymmetry in nucleotide occupancy and implies at least some commonality with the reciprocating encapsulation mechanism shown for the GroE chaperonins.
