A ribosome-associating chaperone mediates GTP-driven vectorial folding of nascent eEF1A by Ibrahim M. Sabbarini, Dvir Reif, Kibum Park, Alexander J. McQuown, Anjali R. Nelliat, Charlotte Trejtnar, Volker Dötsch, Eugene I. Shakhnovich, Andrew W. Murray, Vladimir Denic

“…Post-translational steps essential for eEF1A biogenesis are carried out by bespoke chaperones but co-translational mechanisms tailored to eEF1A folding remain unexplored. Here, we use AlphaPulldown to identify Ypl225w (also known as Chp1, Chaperone 1 for eEF1A) as a conserved yeast protein predicted to stabilize the N-terminal, GTP-binding (G) domain of eEF1A against its misfolding propensity, as predicted by computational simulations and validated by microscopy analysis of ypl225wΔ cells. …”
