Abstract:Polypeptide chains experiences mechanical tension while translocating through cellular tunnel. In this scenario, interaction of tunnel-associated chaperones with the emerging polypeptide occurs under force; however, this force-regulated chaperone behaviour is not fully understood. We studied the mechanical chaperone activity of two tunnel-associated chaperones BiP and ERdj3 both in the absence and presence of force; and compared to their respective cytoplasmic homologs DnaK and DnaJ. We found that BiP/ERdj3 sh… Show more
