The DnaK system from Thermus thermophilus (DnaK(Tth)) exhibits pronounced differences in organisation and regulation to its mesophile counterpart from Escherichia coli (DnaK(Eco)). While the ATPase cycle of DnaK(Eco) is tightly regulated by the concerted action of the two cofactors DnaJ(Eco) and GrpE(Eco), the DnaK(Tth) system features an imbalance in this cochaperone mediated regulation. GrpE(Tth) considerably accelerates the ATP/ADP exchange, but DnaJ(Tth) only slightly stimulates ATPase activity, believed to be a key step for chaperone activity of DnaK(Eco). By in vitro complementation assays, we could not detect significant ATPase-stimulation of orthologous DnaJ(Tth) . DnaKEco or DnaJ(Eco). DnaK(Tth)-complexes as compared to the DnaK(Eco) system, although they were nevertheless active in luciferase refolding experiments. Assistance of protein recovery by DnaK thus seems to be uncoupled of the magnitude of DnaJ mediated ATPase-stimulation.

The effects of nisin-induced dnaK expression in Lactococcus lactis were examined, and this expression was shown to improve stress tolerance and lactic acid fermentation efficiency. Using a nisin-inducible expression system, DnaK proteins from L. lactis (DnaK(Lla)) and Escherichia coli (DnaK(Eco)) were produced in L.

Proteins of thermophilic organisms are adapted to remain well structured and functional at elevated temperatures. Nevertheless like their 'cousins' that reside at medium temperatures, they require the assistance of molecular chaperones to fold properly and prevent aggregation. This review compares structural and functional properties of the DnaK/ClpB systems of Thermus thermophilus and, mainly, Escherichia coli (DnaK(Tth) and DnaK(Eco)).

The nucleotide binding and release cycle of the molecular chaperone DnaK is regulated by the accessory proteins GrpE and DnaJ, also called co-chaperones. The concerted action of the nucleotide exchange factor GrpE and the ATPase-stimulating factor DnaJ determines the ratio of the two nucleotide states of DnaK, which differ in their mode of interaction with unfolded proteins. In the Escherichia coli system, the stimulation by these two antagonists is comparable in magnitude, resulting in a balance of the two nucleotide states of DnaK(Eco) in the absence and the presence of co-chaperones.

The Escherichia coli DnaK (DnaKEco) chaperone cycle is tightly regulated by the cochaperones DnaJ, which stimulates ATP hydrolysis, and GrpE, which acts as a nucleotide exchange factor. The Thermus thermophilus DnaK (DnaKTth) system additionally comprises the DnaK-DnaJ assembly factor (DafATth) that is mediating formation of a 300 kDa DnaKTth. DnaJTth.
