In order to understand the role of ATP hydrolysis of the chaperonin GroEL during protein folding, we have studied GroEL-GroES complex formation in the presence of ATP or ADP by using capillary electrophoresis and surface plasmon resonance. Capillary electrophoresis analysis showed that the GroEL 14-mer and GroES 7-mer formed a 1:1 complex in the presence of ATP. In the presence of ADP, both the association and dissociation rates of the complex were slower by about one order of magnitude than the rates in the presence of ATP at 25 degrees C. The implications of such a stable complex on the overall mechanism of chaperonin function are discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
