Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 produces two kinds of chaperonin subunits, CpkA and
CpkB. To monitor the expression levels of CpkA and CpkB, anti-CpkA and anti-CpkB …

Thermococcus kodakarensis possesses two chaperonins, CpkA and CpkB, and their
expression is induced by the downshift and upshift, respectively, of the cell cultivation …

To study the difference in expression of the chaperonin α‐and β‐subunits in Thermococcus
strain KS‐1 (T. KS‐1), we measured their intracellular contents at various growth …

The thermostability of the recombinant α‐and β‐subunit homo‐oligomers (α16mer and
β16mer) and of natural chaperonins purified from cultured Thermococcus strain KS‐1 cells …

The cpkA gene encoding a second (α) subunit of archaeal chaperonin from Pyrococcus
kodakaraensis KOD1 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli …

The functional characteristics of group II chaperonins, especially those from archaea, have
not been elucidated extensively. Here, we performed a detailed functional characterization …

To elucidate the function of group II chaperonin, the gene for the chaperonin from the
hyperthermophilic archaeum Thermococcus strain KS-1 was cloned and sequenced. Two …

The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus sp. strain KS-1 (T. KS-1) expresses two
different chaperonin subunits, α and β, for the folding of its proteins. The composition of the …

Chaperonins are a type of molecular chaperone that assist in the folding of proteins. Group II
chaperonins play an important role in the proteostasis in the cytosol of archaea and eukarya …

Thermococcus kodakarensis grows optimally at 85° C and possesses two chaperonins, cold-
inducible CpkA and heat-inducible CpkB, which are involved in adaptation to low and high …
