ジャーナル J Bacteriol
Abstract The GroE heat shock proteins (GroEL and GroES) of Escherichia coli represent major molecular chaperones that participate in folding (and assembly) of a variety of proteins and are essential for cell growth at all temperatures. We have examined the effects of reducing the cellular content of GroE on the synthesis and stability of proteins during steady-state growth with near-normal rates. The GroE protein level was manipulated by placing groE under the control of lacUV5 promoter on a multicopy plasmid in a strain lacking the chromosomal groE operon. When this strain was grown with a limited concentration (40 microM) of inducer (IPTG [isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside]) at 37 degrees C, the GroE level and growth rate were comparable to those of the wild type. When cells were depleted of IPTG, they continued to grow at or below 37 degrees C albeit at reduced rates, despite the much-reduced GroE level (ca. 25% of that of wild type). Under these conditions, the cellular contents of at least 13 polypeptides were affected. Among the most striking effects was the enhanced synthesis of a set of heat shock proteins which resulted from the increased level of sigma 32 which is required for transcription of heat shock genes. This increase in the sigma 32 level was brought about by both stabilization and increased synthesis of sigma 32. Other proteins affected by the reduced GroE level included two proteins (enzymes of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway) encoded by the edd-eda operon and the ribosomal protein S6, suggesting that the GroE chaperones are involved in regulating expression of genes for carbohydrate metabolism and in modulating biogenesis or function of the ribosome.
