We serendipitously found that chaperonin GroEL can hydrolyze -nitrophenyl β-galactoside (ONPG), a well-known substrate of the enzyme β-galactosidase. The ONPG hydrolysis by GroEL follows typical enzyme kinetics. Our experiments and molecular docking studies suggest ONPG binding at the ATP binding site of GroEL.

Salt stress poses a significant constraint on rice production, so further exploration is imperative to elucidate the intricate molecular mechanisms governing salt tolerance in rice. By manipulating the rhizosphere microbial communities or targeting specific microbial functions, it is possible to enhance salt tolerance in crops, improving crop yields and food security in saline environments. In this study, we conducted rice rhizospheric microbial amplicon sequencing and metatranscriptome analysis, revealing substantial microbiomic differences between the salt-tolerant rice cultivar TLJIAN and the salt-sensitive HUAJING.

To preliminarily understand the pathogenic mechanism of (Mg) GroEL protein, we used bioinformatics tools to predict the structure and function of Mg GroEL protein and then constructed the recombinant plasmid pET-28a-GroEL. The protein expression was induced by 0.2 mmol/L IPTG, and the expressed protein was purified by Ni-iminodicitic acid (IDA) column affinity.

In this communication we reported a bacterial system that over-expressed full-length wild-type (WT) human CYP3A4 in Escherichia coli (E. coli) at a level of 495 nmol/L culture. This level of expression was achieved by cloning the cDNA sequence of CYP3A4 WT to a pLW01-P450 vector and co-expressing it with chaperones GroEL/ES in bacterial C41(DE3) cells.

The mitochondrial 60 kDa heat shock protein (mHsp60) is an oligomeric, barrel-like structure that mediates protein folding in cooperation with its cochaperonin Hsp10, in an ATP-dependent manner. In contrast to the extremely stable oligomeric structure of the bacterial chaperonin, GroEL, the human mHsp60 exists in equilibrium between single and double heptameric units, which dissociate easily to inactive monomers under laboratory conditions. Consequently, purification and manipulation of active mHsp60 oligomers is not straightforward.
