A yedU gene product with a molecular mass of 31 kDa is a hypothetical protein with no known function. The protein was purified and crystallized at 296 K. X-ray diffraction data have been collected to 2.3 A using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belong to the primitive orthorhombic system, with unit-cell parameters a = 50.56, b = 63.45, c = 168.02 A. The asymmetric unit contains two monomers of the protein, with a corresponding V(M) of 2.25 A(3) Da(-1) and a solvent content of 44.84%.

The mRNA of Escherichia coli yedU gene is induced 31-fold upon heat shock. The 31-kD YedU protein, also calls Hsp31, is highly conserved in several human pathogens and has chaperone activity. We solved the crystal structure of YedU at 2.

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) play essential protective roles under stress conditions by preventing the formation of protein aggregates and degrading misfolded proteins. EcHsp31, the yedU (hchA) gene product, is a representative member of a family of chaperones that alleviates protein misfolding by interacting with early unfolding intermediates. The 1.

The Escherichia coli chromosome contains several uncharacterized heat-inducible loci that may encode novel molecular chaperones or proteases. Here we show that the 31-kDa product of the yedU gene is an efficient homodimeric molecular chaperone that is conserved in a number of pathogenic eubacteria and fungi. Heat shock protein (Hsp) 31 relies on temperature-driven conformational changes to expose structured hydrophobic domains that are likely responsible for substrate binding.
