Model for the ATP-dependent conformational change in group II
chaperonins. Only one ring is shown. A, I, E, and H
represent the apical domain, intermediate domain, equatorial domain, and the
helical protrusion, respectively. The top view of the crystal
structure of Thermococcus sp. strain KS-1 (T. KS-1)
chaperonin in the closed conformation is shown with the helical protrusions in
the CPK model.
