Mechanisms involved in the functional divergence of duplicated GroEL chaperonins in Myxococcus xanthus DK1622.

The gene encoding the GroEL chaperonin is duplicated in nearly 30% of bacterial genomes; and although duplicated groEL genes have been comprehensively determined to have distinct physiological functions in different species, the mechanisms involved have not been characterized to date. Myxococcus xan...
