Abstract

Alpha-glucosidase from yeast is inactivated rapidly at temperatures above 42-degrees-C. The thermal inactivation is accompanied by aggregation. The molecular chaperone GroEL suppresses the formation of aggregates by binding the thermally inactivated alpha-glucosidase. Spectroscopic studies suggest that GroEL binds alpha-glucosidase in an intermediately folded state. The complex between alpha-glucosidase and GroEL can be dissolved by MgATP. GroES accelerates the MgATP-dependent dissociation of the alpha-glucosidase-GroEL complex. At elevated temperatures this release leads to the formation of aggregates, while at lower temperatures native, enzymatically active molecules are formed.
