With a low probability, soluble proteins with prion domains can change conformation to form self-propagating aggregates, which can be transmitted to daughter cells (Lindquist 1997) (Figure 1).
Export of many, but not all, secretory proteins is dependent on interaction with SecB, a cytoplasmic chaperone that maintains the preprotein in a loosely folded conformation competent for translocation.
The authors suggested that the oligopeptide repeats facilitate the division of aggregates, either by serving as binding sites for Hsp104 or by altering the conformation of the polypeptides in aggregates to promote access for Hsp104 (Figure 2).
It is normally 7 Å RMSD from the active site and is in an open conformation in the native state [ 22 23 ] . The protease undergoes significant structural changes on binding to an inhibitor.
Also, induced conformation changes may determine which metabolites (possibly including ions) pass through, providing additional flexibility and diversity.
