The Structure of ClpB: A Molecular Chaperone that Rescues Proteins from an Aggregated State

TLDR
Taking together, mutagenesis and biochemical data show that both the relative position and motion of this coiled coil are critical for chaperone function, and propose a mechanism by which an ATP-driven conformational change is coupled to a large coiled-coil motion, which is indispensable for protein disaggregation.

Recombinant protein folding and misfolding in Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: The past 20 years have seen enormous progress in the understanding of the mechanisms used by the enteric bacterium Escherichia coli to promote protein folding, support protein translocation and handle protein misfolding, and these insights have been exploited to tackle the problems of inclusion body formation, proteolytic degradation and disulfide bond generation.

Improved methods for building protein models in electron density maps and the location of errors in these models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe strategies and tools that help to alleviate this problem and simplify the model-building process, quantify the goodness of fit of the model on a per-residue basis and locate possible errors in peptide and side-chain conformations.

Distantly related sequences in the alpha- and beta-subunits of ATP synthase, myosin, kinases and other ATP-requiring enzymes and a common nucleotide binding fold.

TL;DR: Related sequences in both alpha and beta and in other enzymes that bind ATP or ADP in catalysis help to identify regions contributing to an adenine nucleotide binding fold in both ATP synthase subunits.
