The Functional Differences between the GroEL Chaperonin of <i>Escherichia coli</i> and the HtpB Chaperonin of <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> Can Be Mapped to Specific Amino Acid Residues

Group I chaperonins are a highly conserved family of essential proteins that self-assemble into molecular nanoboxes that mediate the folding of cytoplasmic proteins in bacteria and organelles. GroEL, the chaperonin of <i>Escherichia coli</i>, is the archetype of the family. Protein foldi...
