Round 10: Tossup 21

The adaptor protein Hop binds to these proteins at domains ending with an E·E·V·D motif. One of these proteins assumes a “bullet” conformation over a “football” conformation when ADP binds to its trans-ring region. One of these proteins made up of Tim9 and Tim10 subunits assists in the translocation of “clients” across the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Prokaryotic examples of these proteins with a J-domain include DnaK and DnaJ. One of these proteins found in bacteria is paired with a heptameric (*) “lid” that can bind to either end of its (-5[1])GroEL (10[1])barrel to form a “nano-cage.” Most heat shock proteins, (10[1])such as Hsp70 (10[1])and BiP, are also these kinds of proteins that aid substrates in changing their tertiary structure. For 10 points, name these (10[1])proteins that assist in the folding of polypeptides. ■END■ (10[1])
