| Research Abstract |
To elucidate the reaction mechanisms of GroEL, important in protein folding in the cell, I analyzed the GroEL / GroES interactions in cells using in vivo photo-crosslinking techniques. After cross-linking of the GroEL-GroES complexes formed in cells,they were analyzed by western blotting. As a result, “football” type reaction intermediate was detected. Furthermore, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) using a GroES which fused fluorescent protein enabled to detect GroEL-GroES complexes in the cell.
