| Abstract |
The submission of Escherichia coli cells to heat-shock (45 degrees C, 15 min) caused the intracellular aggregation of endogenous proteins. In the wt cells the aggregates (the S fraction) disappeared 10 min after transfer to 37 degrees C. In contrast, the S fraction in the dnaK and dnaJ mutant strains was stable during approximately one generation time (45 min). This demonstrated that neither the renaturation nor the degradation of the denatured proteins was possible in the absence of DnaK and DnaJ. The groEL44 and groES619 mutations stabilised the aggregates to a lesser extent. It was shown by the use of cloned genes, dnaK/dnaJ or groEL/groES, producing the corresponding proteins in about 4-fold excess, that the appearance of the S fraction in the wt strain resulted from a transiently insufficient supply of the heat-shock proteins. Overproduction of the GroEL/GroES proteins in dnaK756 or dnaJ259 background prevented the aggregation, however, overproduction of the DnaK/DnaJ proteins did not prevent the aggregation in the groEL44 or groES619 mutant cells although it accelerated the disappearance of the aggregates. The properties of the aggregated proteins are discussed from the point of view of their competence to renaturation/degradation by the heat-shock system. |
