General Information | Comment | Organism |

additional information | analysis of folding of a small five-helix protein domain at the N-terminal domain of Escherichia coli N5-glutamine methyltransferase HemK in real time. The isolated HemK N-terminal domain (residues 1 to 73) forms a stable alpha-helical structure independent of the C-terminal domain. Cotranslational folding of the protein, which folds autonomously and rapidly in solution, proceeds through a compact, non-native conformation that forms within the peptide tunnel of the ribosome. The compact state rearranges into a native-like structure immediately after the full domain sequence has emerged from the ribosome. Both folding transitions are rate-limited by translation, allowing for quasi-equilibrium sampling of the conformational space restricted by the ribosome. Cotranslational folding may be typical of small, intrinsically rapidly folding protein domains | Escherichia coli |
