His-Alpha Prefoldin with SpyCatcher

6xHis Alpha Prefoldin with Spy-Catcher (aPFD) (bPFD)

Usage and Biology

Prefoldin is a molecular chaperone protein which assists in the correct folding of nascent proteins1. Alpha prefoldin (aPFD) and beta prefoldin (bPFD) are two subclasses of prefoldin which oligomerise to form a heterohexameric structure consisting of two alpha subunits and four beta subunits1. Alpha prefoldin (15.7 kDa) and beta prefoldin (13.8 kDa) derived from the thermophilic arcahea Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum self assemble into an 87 kDa hexamer. The prefoldin hexamer is assembled through interactions between beta hairpins in each subunit, whereby the beta hairpins form two 8 stranded up and down beta barrels1. Each subunit contains flexible alpha-helical coiled coils, 60 to 70 Å in length, which extend from the beta barrel platform1.
