S. Phadtare et al., REFOLDING AND RELEASE OF TUBULINS BY A FUNCTIONAL IMMOBILIZED GROEL COLUMN, Biochimica et biophysica acta. Protein structure and molecular enzymology, 1208(1), 1994, pp. 189-192
Denatured tubulins form stable complexes with groEL upon dilution into
refolding buffer. These complexes are retained on an immunoaffinity c
olumn which contains chemically immobilized antibodies to groEL. Tubul
in remains bound to the immobilized groEL column after extensive washi
ng and is released upon incubation with groES and ATP. Similar results
were obtained with glutamine synthetase. These data suggest that groE
L can function while it is attached to a solid support system.
