Round 5: Tossup 1

One of these proteins has an unusual N-terminal ADP/ATP binding pocket that is targeted by geldanamycin. Another class of these proteins binds RpL23, contains a PPIase (“P-P-I-ace”) “head” domain, and are called trigger factors. GrpE (“grip-E”) and J-domain proteins augment the ATPase activity of some of these proteins. One of these proteins dissociates from ATF6, PERK, and IRE1 in a response pathway that usually triggers ERAD (“E-rad”). That one of these proteins is BiP. (10[1])The eukaryotic TRiC and the prokaryotic (10[1])GroEL-GroES (“grow-E-L-grow-E-S”) complexes comprise the HSP60 family of these proteins, which are upregulated in response (-5[1])to heat shock. These proteins facilitate hydrophobic collapse, which allows their “clients” to achieve proper tertiary structures. For 10 points, name these proteins that mediate folding of peptides.

ANSWER: molecular chaperones [accept chaperonins or Cpns or Cpn60; accept heat shock proteins or HSPs or HSP40 or HSP60 or HSP70 or HSP90 until “HSP60” is read; accept binding immunoglobulin protein or BiP until read; prompt on heat shock proteins after “HSP60 is read]
