Abstract
The AAA+ chaperone ClpB solubilizes in cooperation with the DnaK chaperone system aggregated proteins. The mechanistic features of the protein disaggregation process are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the mechanism of ClpB/DnaK‐dependent solubilization of heat‐aggregated malate dehydrogenase (MDH) by following characteristics of MDH aggregates during the disaggregation reaction. We demonstrate that disaggregation is achieved by the continuous extraction of unfolded MDH molecules and not by fragmentation of large MDH aggregates. These findings support a ClpB‐dependent threading mechanism as an integral part of the disaggregation reaction.Keywords
