DELTA360-448 | mutant lacking the PDZ2 domain. Results of gel filtration reveal that the removal of the whole PDZ2 domain, results in the formation of only trimers that form neither the hexamers nor the 12- or 24-mers. Such a mutant trimeric form of DegP exhibits both chaperone-like and protease activities at a level comparable to that of the wild-type protein. Mutant shows no concentration effect compared to wild-type | Escherichia coli |
DELTA440-448 | the removal of the beta26 strand on the C terminus of the PDZ2 domain (residues 440-448), which is shown to directly interact with the neighboring PDZ1 domain, does not disrupt the formation of DegP hexamers but prevents their conversion to the 12- or 24-mers. Mutant protein exhibits significantly lower chaperone-like and protease activity, suggesting an inhibitory role of the PDZ2 domain for DegP to exhibit chaperone and protease activities. Mutant shows no concentration effect compared to wild-type | Escherichia coli |

multimer | DegP activates its chaperone and protease functions via formation of large cage-like 12- and 24-mers after binding to substrate proteins. Cryo-electron microscopic and biochemical studies reveal that both oligomers are consistently assembled by blocks of DegP trimers, via pairwise PDZ1-PDZ2 interactions between neighboring trimers. Such interactions simultaneously eliminate the inhibitory effects of the PDZ2 domain. Additionally, both DegP oligomers are also observed in extracts of Escherichia. coli cells, strongly implicating their physiological importance | Escherichia coli |
