Figure 1. General Architecture of Chaperonins(A) Side view of the hexadecameric thermosome structure.(B) Side view of the asymmetric GroEL-GroES-(ADP)[7] complex ([77]).Domains are colored in red (equatorial), green (intermediate), and yellow (apical). Within each complex domains of aligned subunits are highlighted in blue (equatorial), light blue (intermediate), and violet (apical). Bound ADP is drawn in yellow.(C) Top view of the thermosome α (red/violet) and β (yellow) apical domains. β strands S12 and S13 and the N-terminal half of helix H10 (lid segments) form the lid domain that seals off the central chamber. Helices H10 and H11 and loop L topologically correspond to helices H and I and the loop connecting β strands 6 and 7 in GroEL that are involved in substrate and/or GroES binding.Figure 1A Figure 1B Figure 3 Figure 5, and Figure 6A were generated using BOBSCRIPT ( [18]) and RASTER3D ( [3 and 54]). Figure 1C was prepared with MOLSCRIPT ( [41]) as modified by D. Peisach and E. Peisach and with POVRAY.
