Chaperones such as GroEL/ES complex are proteins which
Select one:
a. assist proper refolding of misfolded proteins.
b. repair cells damaged by heat shock.
c. assist proper protein/protein interactions to repair the quarternary structures.
d. assist to unfold proteins for recycling by proteolysis.
e. All of the above.
Answer: e. All of the above.
Explanation:
Chaperones prevent polypeptide from early folding which means it
help in folding at correct time and promote correct folding of
misfolded peptide.
Molecular chaperones are class of heat shock proteins (Hsp). Hsp60
chaperones are bacterial GroEL-ES proteins. Hsp are produced by
cells in response to stressful conditions and help to refold
damaged proteins.
Molecular chaperones assist the folding of the quaternary structure
of other proteins.
It also help in assisting the unfolding of proteins.
